Keep in mind that this was a 30 million defender when he was first bought by them. The talent and potential was always there.

For Albania it's a Broja case... beggars can't be choosers. These bench players are the best players.
Kumbulla ain’t Broja..

Go check the noise that comes from the crowd when Broja is subbed on or has the ball to figure it out for yourself.

Kumbulla is just another CB, actually our 3rd, 4th or 5th option at the position. Kumbulla was so professional that Mourinho said he was no better, and actually even worse than random Norwegian leaguers. Mourinho did not give him a single minute in front of his own home fans Conference league final Tirana.

What more is there to say?

"I'm the one who decided to play with the team we use tonight, so it's my responsibility," Mourinho said to Sky Sport Italia.

"I did it with good intentions and to give opportunities to those who work hard and also give a rest to some guys. Tonight we lost against a team with more quality, it's as simple as that.

"If I could use the same players every match I would. It's risky because there's a huge gulf between our first choice and second choice players. I expected better, but it's my responsibility."

Kumbulla already has few seasons experience warming the bench in Serie A.

It doesn’t get anymore “professional” than that..

We shouldn't take him for granted. This is one of the very few professional Albanian players and the closest to Djimsiti level. Light years better than Mihaj.

He will be very important in the Euros.

Kumbulla absolutely needs to start. The only player Sylvinho should even consider other than him is Ajeti, because he's been proven at this stage.

I feel bad shitting on these players cause without Balaj and Asani we wouldn't have qualified for EUROs, but these are not players that have the quality to be consistent starters.

But because he scored 2 fluke goals he will not only be called up but a guaranteed starter and play heavy minutes like in the last 2 friendlies.

Bekim Balaj 2.0
Sylvinho likes playing with inverted wingers so Asani is super valuable to him on the right flank..

Hard to find another left foot to play that position. Wish we had Eazy E playing for us. He was so close to joining back in the day.

Uzuni-Broja-Zhegrova with Baggio CAM would be crazy offensive firepower! 🔥🔥🔥

His season is absolutely insane, not only just for the number of goals but the quality and timing of goals. Most of the goals are eurogols and late winners.

With this form, he has a small chance to win Golden Boot, even though it's not so likely. For sure, he will go somewhere big in the summer, where is not clear because Sivasspor have put a high price tag (he'll probably leave for around 7-8 million in the end).

I can see some Arab team buying him. Maybe Besiktas too since they spend stupid money on hype. Fener and Gala only go after accomplished top league veterans.

No top league is going after Manaj because he failed in every top league and even English 2nd division. Most of his goals don't translate and he's very poor on the ball and slow.

What I noticed about Manaj is that he has very toxic body language too. Always complains and screams at teammates even for no reason or when it's his fault.
I don't really agree about the translation because the goals are amazing and very impressive strikes, not tap ins or hustle goals. The question is is it just a purple patch.

My view is that he is doing well now he went somewhere where he's the starter and also is far lighter than he's ever been historically. However, he has some of the same issues, his main problem is he needs his team to involve him and get the ball to him, he needs to be able to take shots.

Fenerbahce or Galatasaray would probably buy him if the price was much lower, but for the price Sivasspor want, probably not, especially considering they already have great strikers. Besiktas or Trabzonspor seems like a likely route.

Uzuni has proven himself wherever he has gone..

Always been a starter for his clubs, piling up goals and assists. Next level career considering where he came from!
