Another CB, Kosovo should take him.

Would he even be eligible? I know Kosovo capped Mici but I think that was because he was playing in Kosovo so it's probably easier.

- Armando Sadiku signs for Las Palmas in the Segunda after failed experiment in Bolivar. I doubt after his big injuries and at an older age he could contribute much to the NT's future anymore but potentially if he has a good prolific season like he did with Malaga he could be useful for a year or two.

- Manaj has now been linked with Betis/Granada/Sassuolo, all teams well above any level in which he has regularly played, especially Betis who qualified for EL last season and are looking for a cheaper forward, but Barca demanding 5 million has driven a few clubs away.

- Cekici signs for Konyaspor on a 2+1. Teams up with Cika there.

- Grezda goes on loan to Hungary, which isn't a great sign, he's regressed in the past few years after being a leading player for Osijek

Man... what a terrible club career Sadiku has had.

He failed in Bolivia, Turkey, Poland, La Liga and Swiss first division.

He only succeed in the Swiss 2nd division for Locarno and Lugano and did ok for Malaga in the Spanish 2nd division.

Now that he's back in Europe he'll likely get called up but I don't know if that's a good thing. We respect Sadiku because he scored the most prestigious goal in Albania history but maybe it's time to move on.

The goal against Romania meant nothing.

Loads of Albanians have scored more prestigious goals.

With Manaj getting his big move/in such good form, Broja about to break through at Chelsea and also in great form, with Cika doing decently at club level, I doubt there is much space for Sadiku unless he has a great season..

Absolutely not.

Here is a quick list of more prestigious goals:
-Bekim Balaj at Portugal
-Ermir Lenjani vs Denmark
-Hamdi Salihi at Norway
-Edvin Murati vs Greece
-Adrian Aliaj vs Greece
-Edvin Murati vs Switzerland
-Altin Rrakli vs Russia
-Altin Lala vs Russia
-Igli Tare vs Russia

Just off the top of my head, surely there are more.

I sadly think Sadiku is done. 30 year old with bad knees and hasn't been in form since 2017.

Amazing how you're wrong about some many different things. You're telling me that the goal that got us OUR FIRST MAJOR WIN is less important than some goals in qualifying which we didn't even come top 2 in and a friendly ? Go take a hike man.
