Uzuni scored a very nice goal albeit against worst team in the league LA Galaxy..

1st goal in 21 games they said on the broadcast..

It's crazy that in 2025 we're still talking about Uzuni and Manaj.

Qazim Laci to Rizespor in Turkey. Some people are surprised but I think mid table Turkey is about his true level.

Rey Manaj will move to Sharjah FC in UAE soon for 2 million euros. He'll get a salary of 2.5 million net. He rejected Samsunspor in Turkey, who came 4th last season.

A disappointing career sadly and it looks like he is closing the book on any hope of reviving it, although he probably made the right decision, he simply doesn't have the mentality for a higher level.

With that said hopefully this will let us move on from considering him as a starter for the NT although I wouldn't be surprised if he remains one given Seferi was still starting when he was at a relegation UAE club.

We need to look for other striker options and consider everyone, Daku, Manaj, Uzuni etc have had enough go's, they are not it.

I'm glad these guys are willingly retiring, because our coaches will keep playing them until they drop dead.

Lol, you think this will stop them from being called up for the NT?!

I would rather give a start to someone like Vrioni than any of these guys anymore frankly.

We just need a fit striker with smart movement who can press. Nothing special. Just someone who can work up front and make a lot of runs to match well with Broja. If we can't then Broja should play striker but its preferable that he has a decent partner that he can feed rather than be the goalscorer himself, he seems better at giving assists.

We should start looking everywhere, considering any option, Sylvinho did this well when he first arrived but he settled into the routine of picking his 'favourites' after a while.

I told you even when he was scoring every week that he's not going to Gala, Fener and even Trabsonspor might be too much for him. They don't sign players like Manaj. Only some shitty Arab or MLS club would be fooled to sign him.

The transfer period hits hard because it exposes the level of some of these players that were overhyped by Albanian fans.

The best transfer so far has been Ismajli to Torino. That's solid and should be about his level. Remains to be seen what happens to Broja and Kumbulla(returned to Roma from loan). Inter wants to sell Asllani but he refused a move to Real Betis. Silly decision by him but Albanian players don't mind the bench.

^^ It's not looking good for Broja and Asllani. Kumbulla should also move to a mid table club in Serie A, I read that Gasperini is not impressed with himm

Broja just needs to find a club. Any club in a top 5 league. Surely there is big demand for him. Someone with those attributes is rare and he's still young.

What screws him is that long contract with Chelsea. Another loan would be a disaster! Chelsea just needs to let him go.
