Albanians abroad

[canayoudoit2]

Asllani going to turkey is such a disappointment…

chasing money over playing in a good league, he shouldn’t be a guaranteed starter.

Based on the way people have played a Ramadani , Berisha midfield duo is how we should start this next game

[ReyM9]

he shouldn’t be a guaranteed starter.

That's silly. Besiktas is still bigger and better than 99% of clubs other Albanian players play for.

I'm more concerned that he might fail there too. This is it for him. If he fails at Besiktas the next step is sivaspor and shit like that.

Well, he isn't wrong that Ramadani and Berisha are in great form in the Serie A. Whilst Asllani has had a rocky ride for a while now.

The problem is we need someone who is comfortable pinging the ball around and whilst those two are great players they aren't the best circulators of the ball. So we probably still need Asllani to play.

Besiktas is a risky move because its not that easy to keep your spot for a team like that. I would say the pressure is actually higher than playing for a relegation Serie A team because a big team like Besiktas will replace you if you aren't performing well.

It could be a big problem if he ends up being benched there too, although I think he will always have a market in Italy or Spain.

Ramadani will be in great form in Serie B next season too because that's where he's heading and the level of Lecce.

Can you imagine Lecce signing players like Ndidi, Cerny, Kokcu, Under, mamardashvili??? It's a different level of expectations and pressure like you mentioned.

Lets not pretend like that Asllani is still not the best midfielder. Albania made the playoffs because of him playing every single minute and Shehu taking Ramadani's spot.

[Aurora Bulkuolis]

You can't compare the top clubs in Turkey to the rest. It's night and day. Torino isn't any better than Besiktas. The issue with Asllani is that no one wants to pay 15 million for someone who's not proven himself to be a key player.

Of course Besiktas is a better team. That's almost the problem. He has to play well to hold down a spot there. I think he can do it for sure, but there is a chance he doesn't perform and they don't want to keep him.

And then having already left the top5 leagues he would be benched. Although I think if he isn't in bad form he is good enough to lock down a starting spot.

I don't agree with what was said above that its a backwards step because no good team from the top5 leagues was probably interested. His choices were probably bottom half Italian or Spanish teams. If he performs for Besiktas and especially if he performs in Europe he can always make his way back to a good European team, its just a big if because there is also a big risk if he plays badly.

Ramadani has been heading to Serie B for 3 years in a row now..

[ReyM9]

Ramadani has been heading to Serie B for 3 years in a row now..

They just delayed the inevitable. Last season they survived by 3 points and this season they have to compete with Fiorentina for a relegation spot...

I highly disagree, it’s a step back no matter what, no one’s buying you after leaving a top league to play in turkey where the quality is really bad.

A bottom half team in italy and spain probably wins the title in turkey , it’s full of older guys just getting a pay check .

Horrible move , not like Muci who’s come from Albania , this guys on loan from Inter choosing the money over good football.

[canayoudoit2]

And speaking of muci , another great goal, has to start next month at this rate
