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!
Cikalleshi would sign in a top league if he could perhaps score a few goals. He's not a good goalscorer at all. Most of his goals in Croatia are penalties I believe and even Balaj who played in less games surpassed him in scoring. For the NT he can't score for shit either. He seems to hit the bar/posts a lot though. Also I don't believe that his pace/rhythm is top league level but then again in Turkey they play a fast paced game as well.
I don't like the Cika move. I think his career will die there. Don't really like the abrashi move either. Should have stayed in swiss league rather than bundesliga II.

What's the deal with Basha and Meha?
Swiss league is pretty much the same level as Bundesliga II, maybe a bit better with teams like Basel. Basha is speculated to leave and might go to the Swiss league and some sites say France, but that's probably unlikely. For Meha, i have no idea.
Not really a good move by Cika football wise but you have to understand he was playing for Kukesi two seasons ago and getting paid peanuts in footballing terms. Now he's probably got a top offer from the turks who pay high wages that he wouldnt of dreamt of and has taken it which is understandable. He's still young hopefully he continues to improve.
I think the Turkish club paid something around 1.8 million euros for Cikaleshi. For Albanian standards that's an impressive transfer fee. I actually like the move as I think the Turkish league is okay(better than Croatia, Switzerland, etc)
As for Abrashi it's an okay move. I just think we expected him to make a move to a bottom table club in a big league. 2nd bundesliga better than Switzerland imo
Turkish League better than the Croatian one, Also he will play the preliminary rounds of the Europa League and with some luck he might end up in Europa League group stage, something impossible with Split.
