Vrioni's game didn't even translate to MLS.

MLS is a tough league..

Toronto FC got top notch players like Insigne and Bernardeschi to help them make push for playoffs, but they could hardly win a match down the stretch, losing 5 in a row to end the season (finish 2nd last eastern conference).

Chicago with player like Xherdan Shaqiri finished just 1 spot ahead of Toronto. Charlotte with Polish internationals Swiderski and Jozwiak also missed playoffs.

Vrioni's game doesn't transfer to any professional league. He's a below average goal poacher with okay pace, no technical skills and mediocre physical attributes. Is anyone really surprised? Is he any different than Balaj or Cikaleshi?

It's why the only real forward we have is Armando Broja.

Uzuni was the best player over the break by far, and in top form at club level.

I think he has the potential to be just as differential as Broja or more on his day.

Thats why we should stick him on the LW instead of forcing him to be a ST which he isnt. Ilir Daja please save us.

I don’t consider Uzuini a forward. I consider him a general attacking player best on the wings.

Uzuni seems super dedicated to his craft..

Turning 28, no wife, no children, football is his life. Showed a great deal of improvement during the last 2 games with Albania. Always had the desire to be a difference maker for the NT.

Yeah no wife but a supermodel girlfriend and fathers are notoriously known for not being good footballers

Big difference between “supermodel girlfriend” and wife with children LOL..

My point was Uzuni has nothing in his life to worry about other than improving at football. Even at 27, he is still on the come up unlike others Rashica and Hysaj who, despite being around same age, are on the decline.
