With memories of the golden years (80's) of the albanian football still fresh on her mind, Albania is now attempting to recreate its strong football legacy. As young players start making their names abroad, the future is looking bright for Albanian football!

This Bardhi is no loss. We always overrate these "talents" and 95% of the time we never hear their names again in about 2 years.
Anyone noticed that the diaspora talent has dried up quite significantly? A few years ago there was an explosion of all these upcoming Kosovar talents in Switzerland, Germany, etc.. but now I don't hear much from them at all. Interesting..
You may not think he's much of a player but the pundits and analysts are praising him. He's had a great start to the season in a top league, if he keeps this up a bigger team is gonna come calling in a season or two. Besides Hysaj what other outfield player do we have that comes close to playing regularly and well in the La Liga? Bardhi is the type of player that we all thought Kace would have been for us.
If only we could have got Bardhi, Rashica and Alioski. Now we're stuck with Lila, Llallaku and Latifi
Meh.. Bardhi, Rashica, Alioski = Lila, Llullaku, Latifi. They are all the same players. Some are just more advertised than others.
You guys wants us to have Macedonian and Kosovar NT players but you forget that these national teams are absolute dogshit for a reason. Why don't these great "talents" make them better? As shit as Albania is, it's still a way better team than them.

Probably because both have an amateur defense and midfield? Macedonia has been making improvements as of late and a big reason is because of Alioski (Their best player) and Bardhi who's emerging as a quality player. You can make the case that Macedonia is almost near the same level as us if you look at our last match up where they dominated the possession 58 - 42% compared to us. They've certainly been better than us in 2017..
And I just want the best starting 11. If you think Andi Lila or Llallaku are better than Bardhi and Alioski who are proving themselves in top & competitive leagues than I don't know what to say.
Make no mistake if we don't get new talent coming in soon were gonna drop in quality and end up like Macedonia or Kosova soon. It's a reality check.
Alioski is better than any winger we have . Footballwise i would get him over anything we have from midfield and up. His character though like a weasel wouldn't fit with the yes man standart our team has.
Alioski would be our best player apart from our defence. Macedonia and Kosova suck because their defence is garbage. Conceding little matters even more than scoring.

The number of Kosovar emigrants drastically decreased after 1999. If born then, those kids would be 18 now.

What the hell is so good about Alioski? He's a 25 year old who plays in a 2nd division and has a market value of 3 million... Seriously... we went from hyping up the Shaqiris and Januzajs to now these type of scrubs?
Man Strakosha is just bad coming out of his line. He's a good shot stopper, but once he gets out of the 6 yard box he just becomes trash.

3 million is more than any of our outfield players. And he just got transferred to Leeds, he will only go up.

Strakosha has unbelievable reflexes. He can save the most impossible shots..Problem is that hes not overall solid in other things but that's mostly because of experience than anything. He can do the hard work but now needs to master the easy parts of the game.
Aliovksi is trash. It's embarrassing that we are even discussing him. If he was part of the Albanian NT we would shit on him nonestop. Bardhi is an ok player but even he is not a game changer to say the least.
