Scoring against Juventus is the highlight of Uzuni’s career. It is quite an accomplishment, but there is no further proof that he can produce consistently at a high level. He should prove himself in a more competitive league before we jump to conclusions.

Personally, I do not see anything that jumps off the page when I look at his skill set. Not the fastest, not the smartest, and not a physical specimen either.

Most of the "rest of Europe" leagues are Albanian Superliga quality outside the top 2-3 teams in each country. However, the top teams in these leagues tend to compete in the CL often and have produced many good players. I wouldn't take Uzuini seriously if he played for a random hungarian team like Disogyori (ie Roshi) but since he's playing for the top team that is a CL caliber team it shows he's a legit player.

I also think the Hungarian league will start to become a regional power and will start to swoop Albanian domestic players up.

I'd say this is our downfall more than anything. Not the quality of the rest of the league, but that we have no "super team". Good for casuals to watch, but bad for the national team.

As Zen says only 'pilaf experts' would discount Uzuni's record in the NB. It's like 12 goals and 6 assists now with another 3 goals in CL stages. He is legit and I won't be surprised if he makes a straight move to Seria A let alone Olympiakos.

There has been countless proof that goals in weaker leagues can be deceiving. Especially if you play for the best team and score against a bunch of amateurs while your team is attacking the whole time.

Manaj has great stats too but most of his goals are penalties and we all know his level. If you look at Uzuni's goals most of them are open net tap-ins. In Italy nobody is giving him goals like that.

I remember Edmond Kapllani used to be a goal scoring machine in the 2. Bundesliga but in the first division he couldn't cope at all.

It's impossible to find any country in world where all their major teams were relegated in last 20 years, it wasn't accident or due to sports merit. Duka knew if the likes of Tirana,Partizani,Vllaznia,Flamurtari would establish sportive hegemony they could remove him easily from power so that's why he destroyed Dinamo to create Skenderbet or created new "realities" as Kukesi,Laçi. I don't have anything against any of those cities but their "success" is not only based in sport merits and their development potential is ridiculous compare to capital teams.
