Thaqi damn ! Good backup in case of injury
He's one of Ballkani's best players. Qualifying for Germany will do wonders for our recruiting efforts.

Now that Albania is close to the Euros everyone will be thirsty to make the squad. There will be a lot of lies and fake news by agents/media

there will be a lot of that...

Indeed. Thaqi by the way has played a few minutes in an official game so he can't switch. I'd like to see some of the Germany U21 talents switch to us if we qualify.

I need this momentum to get guys like Rexhbecaj onboard, he’s almost 26, really don’t know what he’s waiting for. Plus Germany aren’t even that good anymore.

Then there’s the youth prospects we should try join us like the irish duo, and the boatload of germans (gruda etc)

Dellova is not good enough for Kosova he won’t be good enough for Albania. Maybe he’s forcing a call up from Kosovo. But regardless there’s like 5 centerbacks ahead of him for Albania.

Not really much diaspora players out there that can realistically make a difference. I would try young guys like Dijon Kameri or Arijon Ibrahimovic due to the potential and see if we can snatch them. Kameri would be ready to contribute whereas Ibrahimovic isn’t good enough yet. Maybe a guy like Andi Hoti at centerback or see if Andreas Ndoj changes his mind.

Rexhbecaj would be nice for cover but you have to figure at this point he doesn’t care about international football. Do we need another Strakosha out there in the midfield? Asllani and Ramadani play hard and this pairing can be special.

Brajan Gruda might be NT potential. 19 and already getting minutes in Bundesliga and German u21.

and most important, he's Shkodran not Kosovar so no need for anyone to get butthurt.

Not like Sylvinho lets them play 90 mins anyhow. Rotational midfielders are potential starters in times of injury, cards or bad form.

hmmm they seem to be being very careful with him, I don't mind for his longer term health but would be nice to have him against the Czech's, doubt it at this rate.
