Kace took a red card after the end of the play off game against AEK cause he got into a fight with Barbosa and will miss 2-3 of PAOK's last 5 games
By far his worst season the chairman is considering selling him for + 2 millions

Korab's posted squad is hilarious and if it is true we r gonna play a 6-3-1 system
Rashica,Manaj and even Salihi should be at the preliminary squad at least
Wtf is Veseli doing there Jashanica is better than Januzaj's boyfriend

Seriously wtf is Veseli doing making the Euros? The guy made no contribution to our qualification, plays for Lugano and somehow seems to find himself on the brink of being selected even though we have players like Rashica and Avdijaj who arent even in the picture. And De Biasi said he didnt call up Meha because he didnt contribute to qualifcation, what a hypocrite.

[Albo_eagle]

Looool if Rashica doesn't even make the 26 man squad that is beyond ludicrous. De Biasi deserves all the praise in the world for the job he has done but it is time after the Euros for us to hire Hasi and move on. De Biasi has built relationships too close to the players so he calls them up regardless of form, that will cost us.

As for Meha he can get lost, no place in the national team for him, let him go enjoy himself in Saudi Arabia. De Biasi is smart with these things, he does not call up these players with loser mentalities like Meha and Hyka, they can go play for Kosovë if they want to.

The fact the likes of Veseli, Rrahamani, Shala and Kukeli are being called and not Rashica is beyond ridiculous.

Shalas actually pretty decent and hes still young, the rest i agree with you... Idk how kukeli even managed to be a starter most games. I think some1 will get hurt by the time euros come so hopefully we see rashica come in.

There are two ways GDB can go here.

1. He can select the best individual players for the Euro, a list which would include players like Rashica, Zeneli, Berisha, Manaj etc.
2. He can select the players that best fit his system, which includes guys like Lila, and Roshi etc.

Although option 1 is what would make us happy as fans, but let's be realistic: we did not make it this far by playing the most individually talented/exciting starting 11 every game. We made it because we had the strength of the group, and because we played an ultra defensive style with players who did exactly what the coach asked of them and we also caught a bunch of breaks on the way. We do not have the attacking prowess to win games 3-2, or 4-3. Even if these young talented guys were chosen to start, we would be hard-pressed to score more than 1 goal a game. With the group we have, we need to play tough defense, Italian style bunkering with the speedy counterattacking. We need players that fit GDB's system. This is the only reason why guys like Lila and Roshi keep getting called up. It is the only reason Lenjani and Roshi keep getting playing time as wide midfielders. It has very little to do with loyalty and personal relationships, and a lot more to do with what GDB thinks will give him and the team the best chance to succeed. Ugly yet effective.

I posted the list for the Euros before and it turns out it's accurate.

Out of the 26 names called up the 3 who will be dropped are Rrahmani, Shala, and Veseli.

I find it funny that people like to talk shit about Roshi but last time I checked Lenjani doesn't play much for his club either and no one has a problem with him being in the list.

[Plako]

Agreed with what Andi said. GDB is selecting the best team not the best players, that's his job.

Rashica is faster then both Lenjani and Roshi, and also possesses greater technique, just have a look at his highlights for Vitesse. Furthermore, unlike Roshi, Rashica is not a twig and isnt pushed of the ball that easy.

You're kidding right? Rashica is a dwarf(we already have tons of them in our team). Roshi is MUCH bigger and stronger than him.
