But here’s the thing they don’t seem to understand, if they played for us they would make us good enough to qualify . That would then attract more good diaspora, but they always think short term.

There is no one more pushy than the Kosovar FA. They do everything possible to get them. From meeting the families of these players, to agents and begging the players themselves.

... and yet they still get rejected if the player has better options.

This is purely on Zeqiri. He gave them an acceptance a few months ago and did a 180. If he was serious about Kosovo he probably would have featured for them months ago let alone a year ago. Same goes with Toma. These guys will not play for Kosovo until it's their last option. It's completely reasonable to hold out for a Swiss call up but to give an acceptance, meet with the Kosovo officials and to just change your mind a few months later is a dick move.

It's why you got to respect Bajrami. He accepted us and was ready to play for us when his stock was on the rise. With how his career is progressing he could possibly be a Swiss NT player in a year or possibly now.

Muriqi with a casual 4 goal performance against San Marino.

Broja couldn't even get a shot off against them.

Ah yes nothing like putting down a 19 year old who had no chances because his manager plays 5 ATB vs the worst team in the world.

There is no excuse for playing like a girl, regardless of age.

Broja needs to show he has a pair of balls or he can enjoy warming the bench.

You can't make excuses by using his age and then complain when he gets relegated to the u-21 team (because of his age).

Muriqi is a better player than Broja right now. I don't know who argues against that.

The difference is that Muriqi has hit his peak, while Broja just played his first pro season.

True but it's deflating because Muriqi had a HORRIFIC season in Serie a. And yet he's still capable of dominating the amateurs of San Marino (as he should).

This only shows that Broja is light years away from top 4 league level. Albania needs miracles in attack. Especially now that Roshi is finished.

Broja will have chance of his life on Chelsea pre-season preparations. Tuchel has invited youngsters of Chelsea academy to train with senior team.
