Seferi actually seems to be more active in hold up play than Balaj. Manaj is almost on this level as well but he is atleast a pitbull and is extremely active. Seferi isn't a good player and nowhere near the NT but the moments he's been on the pitch he wasn't any worst than Balaj, Manaj and Cika. The point is none of these guys outcome the games and are just warm bodies out there. You can put in any Superliga striker in place of them and the NT will be no worst or better.
Seferi shouldn't even be on that list, despite how shit that list is. He stunk in Superliga.

Artan likes to shit on Cikalleshi but Cika has historically scored a bunch of super goals and even when he didn't score he created a bunch of great chances single handily. How many times did he hit the post with wonder shots??

You can't compare Cika to the Balajs and the Manajs. True all of them are not good enough for top 4 leagues but Cika at least has a bit of talent and deserves respect. Maybe now he's finished though.

There is nothing good about Seferi. You can find dozens of players who do what he does in the Albanian league. He just has an automatic advantage because he's a diaspora player so he's preferred by default but he's beyond trash. He's not even better than Plaku who's like 40.

Hasn't Manaj scored "super goals" though? Like insanely technical goals.

Which one besides the one the in the first Barca pre season game?? For Barcelona B Manaj was a penalty and tap-in merchant.

For Albania he missed an open net tap-in against Turkey. that's something I'll never forget.

Joking aside about Manaj, now he's linked to the Israeli league. I don't think you guys realize how low level he is. If Barcelona get 2 million for him it will be the heist of the century.

Against Moldova he scored backheel tap in. Against Belarus it was a top corner volley from a tight angle. Cika's goals aren't any better than that.

Manaj is a bonafide crusher of low level opposition. Sugar Ray has already registered 5 goals in official matches. He is on pace to smash the totals of Balaj (5), Salihi (6), and Sadiku (7).

Sadly, he wets the bed against any semi-decent opponent, as the biggest name on his resume is Belarus (world 90th ranked at time of scoring).

True. That's his Achilles heel. Even with Barca he trashed lower tier teams in friendlies, but crapped his pants against Stuttgart. But then again, that's a huge problem with almost all our players. Even Cika just scored a penalty against France after we were down 4-0, but other than that he's no different than Manaj.

It's weird but old school players like Bogdani and Tare didn't have that problem. They were limited technically, but they could pull the trigger against top sides. Unfortunately, Balaj is the only one who ever did it in the last 7 years.

Lmao at all of this , can FIFA just leave us alone and let an Albanian play for us . You have the Qatar World Cup drowning in corruption and death , their team is full of guys that are not even from Qatar but it’s not a problem for them.

Manaj scored some super goals for Barca B. He has a bunch of crazy goals scored in his career from tight angles, and that's his problem as a forward, he can score those but not that chance against Stuttgart. I get that for the NT it's the same old but I don't understand why so many of you are committed to shitting on him and other players of the NT, even for troll purposes. 'Now he's linked to the Israeli league' We all know he is going to a top4 league, lol. That he has been linked to half the world by now should be positive, Bundesliga/LaLiga/SerieA I'm sure he'll go to one.

What makes you so sure?? Because he played in Barca's pre-season?

Balaj, Salihi, Kapllani, Cikalleshi, Sadiku, Kamberi who are either equal or better than Manaj all couldn't cope in a top 4 league.

What makes Manaj different than them?
