Berisha is having a good season but he is nearing 30 and is too short (165cm) to compare with a versatile player possessing the attributes of Olayinka.. who is now in the prime of his life.

Scoring a brace (goal + penalty) at home against a team like Zenit is respectable but nowhere near the accomplishments of the 25 year old in question.

Leverkusen and Inter are a level above.. even Nice (Olayinka scored match winner away) is worth more than Zenit.

Olayinka only scored 4 league goals in Czech Republic last year and 6 in the season before. Bernard Berisha already has 6 in Russia this year which is better league. Berisha just scored twice against Zenit St Petersburg last week and has been carrying his squad. Are we gonna say Berisha > Olayinka?

Ironically, I think Berisha would have been a good fit with Albania. It's a shame he rushed his decision to join Kosovo and if he would have waited another year (post Euro 2016) he would probably have been a key player for us. The pace with Berisha and Roshi on the wings would have been good. Same with Lirim Kastrati although that was more on us being stupid and not calling him up.

The hate for Muriqi makes no sense to me but what else is new from you

If you would ask Muriqi where he came out from, I doubt he will say Besa or Teuta but Liria..

The other two I don’t rate over Olayinka at the moment, so I didn’t consider them at all in my previous post.

Rrahmani might have a case.. personally I don’t prefer him over a man who shows up in big games, having scored the match winner on a team like Leverkusen and the opening goal away at Inter.

Tbh I think at this point Olayinka is better than Muriqi. He scored 11 goals in Belgium which is ~ Turkey, and that was 2 years ago. He's gotten even better. Let's be honest, Muriqi is not even good enough to be a backup at Lazio. At best he'll be a bottom table Serie A striker if he works hard. That was Tare's worst transfer ever.

Rrahmani still remains to be seen. That one was just unfortunate. He didn't even get a proper chance to show himself.

I'd say right now it's

(1) Rrahmani (for now)
(2) Olayinka
(3) Uzuni
(4) Muriqi

Ferencvaros's total value shot up to 28 million. By comparison the worst Serie A teams are 43 and 45 million. I'd say they're good enough to be a bottom table Serie A team, which speaks volume for Uzuni, even though I think he's already nearing his peak potential.

Rrahmani? Muriqi? Even Berisha?

Those guys all came out of Kosovo though :zgerdhimje:

Lol. Obviously it's both (and Croatia, etc....). But we're more talking about the senior league itself, not player development. Player development in Albania is terrible. Kosova seems somewhat better at it.

Olaynka scored again with Slavia. Quite impressive the career he has made considering he came to Albania when he was 16.

The best player to come out of the Superliga since Bogdani..

Djimsiti benched again. Atalanta 1:1 Shakhtar D after first half.

They also lost to Dinamo Zagreb away 4-0. Their chance of qualifying now are very slim.
