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!

Halimi should definitely be called up to the u21. I think Basha would be wise to move to those serie A teams as long as he just stays in the league and plays regularly.
Halimi won't play with U-21 and no real talent will ever want to play there, our youth ranks are "revenue sources" for bunch of people. Fshf doesn't care about U-21 and corruption in youth ranks is extremely high. Shakoduka and his clan (Jupi,Bushi,Lala etc) controls everything and there is no coach who will be able to succeed there. People was celebrating when Skender Gega left (who probably is incompetent coach) U-21 but i can guarantee that he is most honest person who worked in Fshf in Duka era.
You're right about corruption in our youth ranks, but I doubt a German 3rd league player would reject a call up from the u21 unless Germany is serious about this guy which I doubt.
Also is there any news on Xhaka to Fiorentina or Kace to Udinese?

Best phrase : Vendilindja Bujanovc Shqiperi lol
That's a good news , obviously he saw that with us he has real chances because Cana and Mavraj might play another qualification cycle and meanwhile he could get playing time when one of our starting CBs gets injured or red carted. Finally we won't be seeing players like Teli as CB in qualification games . I guess he will be a backup to Cana and Ajeti during september games as Mavraj will be out until december. Good job De Biasi
Gymcity is very solid defender but i am very excited about Albian Ajeti, he is immense talent, if he keeps scoring until September we never know, maybe it will be in De Biasi list.
De Biasi already confirmed Xhim months ago and it's a great addition because he's much more talented than Arlind Ajeti. Only question mark is his position(for Zurich he plays more wide than central). He definitely has all the skillset though.
I've never seen Ajeti's brothers play but from the few youtube clips Albian doesn't look that interesting.

Albian scored in a friendly against Leverkusen. Last friendly before the season starts for them.

Hopefully, the new Basel coach incorporates him into the first team. I do think we need to cap him soon not because he's NT material yet but the fact that Switzerland may snatch him. Different from Avdijaj who realistically doesn't have a chance with Germany any time soon.
Yeah I saw his goal against Leverkusen. He doesn't give me the impression that he's quick enough and that he can dribble. From the clips he seems like an Armando Sadiku type poacher..
Again I'm basing it on all his youtube clips.. Maybe he's slightly better.

I doubt he would play for Switzerland. He has his brother influencing him and seems very proud of his decision to represent us. But hey, we are Albania so anything can happen to us (Avdijaj, Januzovic, G.Xhaka, etc.)
