Albanians abroad

With memories of the golden years (80's) of the albanian football still fresh on her mind, Albania is now attempting to recreate its strong football legacy. As young players start making their names abroad, the future is looking bright for Albanian football!

Would Empoli and Espanyol keep Ramadani as a substitute like they have Bajrami and Bare?


Ok you're trolling now lol

They wouldn't be a able to put a 200k player on the bench? Ramadani wouldn't even be allowed in their stadiums.

Espanyol is a 92 million team.

Empoli a 91 million team.

Aberdeen? 10 million. This is a team that's much closer to Tirana, Vllaznia, Partizani than top league teams.
I'm saying that he is good enough to benchwarm for those teams too. (it not being a very big accomplishment). Notice the 'Tbh I think it's highly likely. ' After that sentence.

Go look at their benches and you will see plenty of unknown guys and definitely guys under 1 mill value too. It's not an achievement to be riding the bench for one of those teams, that is no different than Aberdeen.

Their benches are not Albanian league level like you make it seem. At the very worst it's upper 2nd division level. Still much better than Albanian league, aberdeen and Ramadani level.

Adrian Ismajli was one of the dominant CBs in the Croatian league and last year he was a bench player for Empoli. It's not easy.

In perspective of how horrific the Scottish league is just look at the results of Celtic and Rangers in the CL this season....and keep in mind that these teams are light years better than the other teams in their league.

PAS Giannina valued 10 million too..

Andi Lila played out his whole career there.

Lila also showed that he could sort of cope in Serie a.

Lila is one of those who could've done better in his career but he was happy being close to home and getting the free souvlaki the Giannina president used to give him.

Even original super professional Hysaj admitted reason Albania losing at such high rate is too many superstars and not enough warriors.

We have van Basten, Baggio, Iniesta, Modric, and Chiellini, but are missing Andi Lila..

Major exaggeration no?

Albania has some good young players with good potential but who still need to grow a lot in order to carry the NT.

No senior NT has success with u21 players carrying them. All the good NTs are being carried by established professionals at their prime. This is why Albanians need to be patient with this team.

Literally no one called them "superstars" but you. They are B level players, but you want to play D or F level players ahead of them.

And the issue is that Reja keeps playing semi-pro players ahead of them, and never fields them all at the same time.

I was not the one claiming these superstars are good enough to beat Poland.

I was not the one claiming these superstars were good enough to run though Israel and Iceland.

It was you, and others on here overrating these “B level” (B for Benchwarmer) players.

My position has always been super clear, in that there is little difference between those who get a call up. I stand with Ervin Skela, who is in the best shape, should start!

By the way, Reja did give into Albanian hype media and fielded them all together. Got smoked middle of Tirana and then again Tel Aviv. Iniesta was first one subbed off both times, lucky us to have such talent..

No shame in losing to Poland which is an elite team and most of their best players are at their prime.

Problem with your favorite "fit" players is that winning against the Faroe Island would be a struggle. You see how the superliga stars got dominated by Saudi Arabia.

You still don't seem to understand, that Reja is benching them all the time, that's why people complain.
