Albanians abroad

[Dallku]

To be fair to Giaccomo "the next Balaj" Vrioni, his team is pretty shit and they rarely create anything so any goal he scores is impressive because his chances are limited.

Broja to Southampton

Perfect move to the PL

That would be a crazy move because he gets thrown straight to the lion pit. If he survives there successfully then he's guaranteed to have a great career. If he struggles he might find himself in the lower divisions having to work his way up.

As a replacement for Ings? Wow

Imagine this front 3 for Albania:

Manaj(Barcelona)-- ----- Vrioni(Juventus)
--------------- Broja(Chelsea)--------------

There is no reason so much firepower can't win a tournament.

I love that trolling is becoming reality.

Subbed on for 10 minutes. No time to make an impact.

I don't get what the point of that is, they may as well have ditched him before Germany to keep the goals fresh in everyone's heads

[Aurora Bulkualis]

No impact? That 3rd goal was all Manaj. The entire Juve defence, especially Chiellini and Bonucci were all marking him. He dragged them around, until his teammate scored the 3rd goal.



That goal would not be scored without Manaj's ability to create space. 4 dudes marking him until they realized someone else had the ball. CRAZY.

It's still surreal that he played a full pre-season with Barca's first team.

This guy was also training with Inter's first team a few years back. He's living the dream of every young football fan.

[RedFootballs]

He's actually good at holdup and movement but it mostly stops there. If he was fast he'd be a lot better.

[Dallku]

He's not good at hold up play because he's not tall and his first touch is pretty mediocre to say the least.

His off the ball movement is decent but that's something literally anyone can do if they want to.

Trolling aside, I honestly can't think of anything Manaj is good at. He might be one of the most limited Albanian strikers I've ever seen but he's living a dream.

He's a 3rd division player who gets to train with world class teams. Crazy luck...
