Gruda finished the season strong and that's not good for Albania. The better these potential players do at their clubs the worse their chances of choosing Albania are.

German-Albos are also an interesting species. They all think they can play for Germany and usually give up when they are 26+

No excuse not to offer Gruda a spot with 26 man list.

This guy's dribbling highlights are crazy. He's exactly what we need. Someone to take on defenders and pass the ball to Broja.

But two issues:

(1) Sylvinho likely won't call him up
(2) He'll likely refuse regardless

Unfortunately, if Gruda will not come now, it is unlikely he ever will.

He'll probably be good enough to get a couple caps for Germany maybe and then never play international football again.

So many times we see the same thing and they never learn.

Medon Berisha starting for Lecce. Won't be surprised if he's a regular starter next season.

We have to try everything to get Gruda. Like a Broja he elevates us to the next level. Whatever it takes.

Gruda had phenomenal game, scored and made fantastic assist to keep Mainz on Bundesliga.

Manaj played a fantastic game, it was against the worst team, but he was amazing and so unlucky not to score.

Great dribbling and movement this game, he looked more mobile than usual, but could be because of the poor opposition.

Asani is definitely one of those that you won't hear from again after the Euros. He's closer to signing for Big Brother Albania than a club.

His fluke run of games helped qualify Albania so he'll still remain a legend like Balaj and Sadiku.

He doesn't look overweight. That doesn't sound right. Who knows what happened behind the scenes.

In any case, it's put us in a very difficult position, because two of the most important attackers, at least theoretically, have both played basically no minutes for almost a year (Broja more like 2 years).

Maybe I see Asani starting one of the games just because it's unlikely we win anyway so Sylvinho will still want to try him but it's really a bad sign to have a player who isn't playing in South Korea to be an attacker you rely on.

Whereas our most in form attacker, Manaj, is great for his club, but the truth is he probably will continue to be poor for the NT due to low work rate and terrible mentality.

I don't know, I think we need other solutions, maybe to convince Gruda to come, or actually possibly even start Daku, who has always been quite impressive. Then we need to analyse our winger options.

However, all this is a bit of a waste of time considering we have no real qualification options so we may as well just use it as a tournament to gain experience and possibly attract some young players.
