Why are you rotting on the bench at Brentford? You couldn't find a single team to take you? Rather start in the French league than be in the bench for a team that doesn't play European games.
Number 2 at a mid table side. That is embarrassing.

Probably getting paid plenty, he loves his Gucci and Armani, he prefers that over a good career.

Strakosha lost motivation a long time ago. Now he's just following that trend.

Jason Ceka with another goal. 3 g+a in 3 to start the year. Nice little start in the bundesliga 2

Shouldve had another assist too yesterday but the teammate missed an open goal , nice turn and finish for his goal

That seems to be the case with most Albanian players. They're just content to reach a certain level and make some decent money. Lots of them are lacking the drive to become elite players.

Tough to see Suga Ray cracking the formation for Watford, let alone making an impact in a league like the Championship. English football is all wrong for player like him..

A majority of Albanian superstars will be warming the bench this season. Ramadani was the only good move I can think of. He will make a name for himself in Scotland. Vrioni could make an impact in MLS, but has gotten off to a bad start there.

I don't agree at all. I think that league will be perfect for him.

Vrioni will also score goals once he gets the trust of the manager and plays more minutes. New signings don't catapult into the starting 11 unless they're extremely notable.

Why do you say that?

Poor shooter, not good aerially, and whatever little physical advantage he might have enjoyed in Spain, or Italy, is gone in England.

Same thing goes for old Jacky.

Got used to bullying the opposition in Austria, but will find himself less physically imposing in MLS. Hit a roadblock in his progression of late..

25, then 35 minutes in first 2 matches respectively, only to warm the bench all night in a big victory last time out. Bad sign!

Manaj is bad at everything. Especially athleticism which is crucial nowadays.

Is he even better than Seferi? Seferi might be slightly quicker and more technical.

Manaj had a successful season in Italy, a top 4 league.

Why move to England? If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it..
