Bajrami still not starting with Empoli. And probably not by chance, he hasn't put in a good performance for us in like a year. This stuff matters.

Bajrami, Bare, and Hysaj all been poor for the NT for quite some time, and all of them are benched and hardly playing any minutes with their team, even relegation ones such as Empoli or Espanyol. Hysaj's saving grace that Lazio have Conference League so he isn't completely off rhythm for when he comes to us.

Our best performers like Balliu and Uzuni are guys who actually play with their clubs. Broja also was regularly playing with Southampton and would play for a mid table or relegation team if he went to one.

We need to stop making guys who can't start for relegation teams untouchable, as far as I'm concerned, there is not much difference between them and 'amateurs' like Ramadani who at least start every game with their club.

Kinda unfair to Keidi. He has had constant injuries so you can't really blame him.

The others lost it based on performance. Bajrami lost it to some 19 year old who had an injury and Bajrami still couldn't take advantage. Now that kid scored again today so Nedim is cooked.

As for Hysaj every Albanian fan says to take him out but they never mention who should play instead.

Little to do with injuries..

Espanyol had acquired new midfielders to take his place before season started.

Plays less mins than Hysaj which is your biggest checklist when selecting a starter. He's also shit and plays in Hungary.

The only teams in Celtic worth a damn are Celtic and Rangers, everything else is Superliga level. The drop off between a Serie A team and Aberdeen is huge. It's the same in practically every league in Europe outside the top 6.

Hysaj is still twice the player someone like Doka/Trashi is. Kubulla is twice the player someone like Mersinaj or Mihaj. Broja three times the player Cikaleshi is.

Kumbulla and Broja are benched for proven high level players, it's different. Whilst it's not ideal they are on the bench I don't think it reflects that badly on them also considering they already proved they can stand out for lower-table teams with Torino/Southampton, whilst Bajrami and Bare are struggling to get a start for relegation teams.

Additionally, they have actually played well for the NT. Broja scored 2 crucial goals in the qualifiers and Kumbulla shut down Lewandowski in a do or die game. When have those two played well other than against San Marino?

Would Empoli and Espanyol keep Ramadani as a substitute like they have Bajrami and Bare? Tbh I think it's highly likely. Relegation teams have a lot of shite on their bench and he's really not that bad. So tbh until they prove otherwise with NT or club I don't see much difference between those three.

For Broja/Kumbulla/Balliu/Asllani/Uzuni etc I am clear that they should be starters as they have proven things at both club and NT level, whilst the two I name have not proven much more than Ramadani has.

As for Hysaj, it is difficult because we have no clear replacement, but I also add it is not like Doka or Trashi could do much worse than he has been doing for us recently. Personally I would give Lenjani some chances again as he has been good despite hardly ever getting minutes, even if he is old he still seems quite fast and athletic and can add things offensively. He also plays regularly with his team in Turkish top flight even if they suck.

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.
