It's just as well, Sivasspor is awful since December, they got rid of most of their good players and don't create anything in attack. It's basically only him scoring.

He needs to continue to improve his overall game and try and impose himself more. He's still a bit hesistant.

It is no coincidence a great coach like Thiago Motta saw big potential in him, though, as well as others, he has something but hasn't been putting it together till now. However, he still has big improvements to make.

He will be tempted to move to a top5 league this summer but unless it's a good team he should probably stay in Turkey and go to Besiktas or something. He is learning and it will be better if he builds himself up and gets in goalscoring rhythm before trying again.

Cikalleshi goals are all from penalty though, that could apply anywhere.

Cika seriously 8/11 goals in penalties? :lol:

Btw, I criticized Manaj for the same shit when he was in Spain.

I think Manaj deserves a chance tbh. Let's not forget he just turned 27. It's not like he's 35. Maybe he's just a late bloomer.

Yep, 8 penalties 23/24.

So Manaj has 12 NPG vs Cikalleshi 3 NPG.

I just don’t see how scoring free kicks (albeit some impressive ones by Manaj) or tap ins against awful defenses will replicate on a big stage. We’ve seen these guys be awful with the NT for years. It’s not going to change now.

The only options at forward should be Muci, Broja or Uzuini. Assuming that Muci or Uzuini doesn’t play as a winger
