You gotta admit it's funny that Manaj's career hinges on what Messi and Aguero are doing though.
Yeah some of our players playing in some god forsaken places like Chechnya, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan and Bolivia is super depressing.Aurora Bulkualis wrote: Sat Aug 07, 2021 12:09 am Who wants to live in Israel bro? Only some poor Albos from the Republic who get paid in byrek me djathe go to these random places in Asia for a payday.
So you want him to be in a La Liga team just for the sake of it? What about play time?RedFootballs wrote: Sat Aug 07, 2021 12:48 am Maccabi as a club sportively is not bad, they play in Champions League regularly and have had some pretty good players on their books (for top wages) but it's a dead end.

Lol exactly.
Sadiku had a career-changing injury. But I think Manaj has a different profile. He can be a bit of a donkey on the pitch at times but he's a strong brave work-horse with more technique than he gets credit for. And for all that talk he gives about wanting to compete etc I'd at least like to see him fight for a role at a LaLiga team. He is young yet to be going to Israel and not at least giving the top leagues another try, however I don't see this as likely anyway that he will agree to go to Israel just for higher pay but knowing him it could happen.Dallku wrote: Sat Aug 07, 2021 1:13 amSo you want him to be in a La Liga team just for the sake of it?

Maybe Manaj could make the 25 men roster of a Cadiz or a Granada but they clearly don't guarantee play time and it will be like Sadiku in La Liga which was pretty bad and you could say ended his career.
In Israel at least he would get play time but even there it's not guaranteed because as you say, Maccabi is actually not that bad. His competition there could be some fast Africans who can dribble.
Not everyone is built for top 4 leagues. Some are made for lower tier: Croatia, Greece, Hungary, Israel, etc. It is what it is.
