Mergim Mavraj: Still very good.

Cana and Mavraj will be out starting center backs if fit. Ajeti on stand by.

A shka has become the new manager of PAOK.

Kaçe has had the most obstacles thrown in his way, credit to him. Hopefully this summer he is at Inter, he is extremely talented.

Shala with the winner goal of Liberec away and 3 important points for the European place race.

Agreed. Mavraj is more technical and we can use someone who's a bit more comfortable with the ball back there to help out our struggling offense. I like Ajeti alot but he's too similar to Cana in the fact he's more of a warrior/aggressive CB, Mavraj gives us a bit more balance. But still Ajeti is promising and he's gonna be a key player for years to come. Good attitude and hard working as well.

I see guys in 2nd division Turkey being called up to play like they're amazing players, while you have an 18 year old who gets at least some play time for a Top 20 team. He also scored on first touch ever for the NT (good luck). Should he not be discussed at all?

Guys like Rashica get hyped 100x more than Manaj (and rightfully so).

Can't believe there are people still blaming DB/Duka for players picking Switzerland.

This post is hilarious. but this one underneath, just takes the cake.

That is why me and many others love Manaj. He never for a second considered Italy, while these other tradhëtar straight away run when a shit team like Switzerland call them up. Manaj could of easily played for the Italian youth before you all start saying this and that, but he didn't consider it for a second becausr he was raised in a proper family which taught him to be proud of where he is from. Bravo familja Manaj.

Stay strong brothers. You might actually manage to crate a new Bulku in Manaj. Praise to the lords he becomes as good as Bulku.

I really don't get your point Madman. I said he probably won't even get called to EUROs and you're making it sound like I'm saying he's Maradona. Compared to every other youth that had the prospect of being semi-decent I really don't see any special treatment for Manaj. Maybe you're choosing it to see it that way.

Since you're the one to bring up Rashica in your previous post, something which I found hilarious, now I'm going to use him in my question towards you.

Why did Manaj get the his shot at the senior team over Rashica?

I really don't want to start a Manaj - Rashica comparison, not my intention, and hence the reason I found your post hilarious before. However, for the sake of the argument I'm including him here. Otherwise I'm more than happy the way Rashica is being treated by the club and the NT.

At the end of the day Manaj, all respect to him, has come through italian football roots, is representin his PLACE of BIRTH. He should work hard to get as many minutes for Inter, if otherwise would like to see him loaned out, either way I really fucking hope we have striker at INTER. M. I'll be with joy.

Manaj obviously got his chance becuase he plays for Inter, no need make such a big deal about it. Good for Manaj to be good enough to play for Inter. Plus De Biasi prefers players playing in Italy and those that speak Italian.

Rashica has now been called up aswell and i think he is the star of Albanian football and the poster boy for many years.

Jheez no need to make such a big deal.

Think some of us are underrating Italy's lack of talented strikers and the possibility of them calling Manaj.
