I’m pretty sure if the likes of Basha, Xhaka, Memushaj, Abrashi, etc, we’re a part of that 90s generation we all will be saying how fucking good they were. Someone like Bare would be compared to the new Abrashi

While the midfielders of De Biasi era were qualifying us for a major tournament, Gjasula was so tired of his own mediocrity that he was about to quit football.. his squad Paderborn was one of the worst Bundesliga teams of the last decade. They had 4 wins all season.

Basha and Kukeli were both tall midfielders while Abrashi and Xhaka were the shorter pit bulls but much more physical than the previous generation of Lala, Skela etc.. that’s why I said the midfield was well rounded instead of weak and one dimensional.

Notable performances:
Basha- beat Romania at Euros, beat Norway away, beat France (friendly)
Kukeli- beat Portugal away, full 90 min in both draws vs Denmark, draw against France (friendly), held France scoreless for 75 min in euros before subbed off and we eat goals (overall aggregate against France 1-1)
Abrashi- beat Portugal away, played in both draws vs Denmark, 90 min in all 3 matches at Euros
Xhaka- beat Portugal away, played both draws vs Denmark, game winning goal vs Israel to open last Nations League

Gjasula- beat Iceland at home
Bare- beat Iceland at home, full 90 twice against France (1-6 aggregate)
Rest- N/A

Yet you believe Bare outclassed Xhaka and sent him packing...

Lmao stop it dude

Why are you shitting on Bare ? He’s shown a level of technical ability that none of our other players have . It’s not his fault we’ve been losing . In fact it’s great to see him playing so well in a bad team

Ismajli moving to Serie A.

Sold for 3 million euros to Spezia (newly promoted). We now have 4 center backs in Serie A.

In addition, apparently Balliu will be transferring to Valencia.

Our entire defence (including GK) except left back are Serie A starters. Like I said, can't wait for that world class defence in a few years

I'm not sure how Ndrecka is progressing, maybe he's the answer to LWB soon? I also wouldn't also doubt if a guy like Mersinaj moves to Serie A next season too if Lokomotiv can have another successful season.

Ndrecka seems to be the main hope we have to really have a really good LB .

What happened to Binaku , to me he played well but hasn’t been involved for a while now
