Really excited about Manaj at Pescara. Few goals and boom. Ajeti i think will do very well at Torino of he gets played aswell.

Things are at a peak for us.

That's not true, Mihajlovic was the guy who invited Manaj with the first team, Behrami was his favorite player at Fiorentina so i don't believe that's true. He will be even more careful with Ajeti and probably will give him more than he deserves.

I thinj we should go for Mateo Musacchio. What is there to lose. He doesn't play internatiomally so you never know we could get an absolute gem of a player. If it even is possible for him to play for us as I'm not sure what the rules what be regarding him. His family still speak Arbereshe.

Dario Cvitanich wanted to play for Croatia due do his Croatian heritage but FIFA didn't accept it,

i think Masacchio have kinda the same problem if he wants to play for us. But anyway i doubt Masacchio would really play for us, when you are 25 and play for AC Milan you still hope that Argentina is going to call you up.

That was a interesting read as i had never heard a case like that before.

We could probably fix him a fake passport on grounds that one of his grand parents lived in Albania for a while maybe. Not sure though maybe not.

As he is turning 26 next month maybe he would consider playing for us and as his family speak Arberesh it could be possible. Obviously if we were in the position we were 4+ years ago then i wouldn't expect it as we were like a modern day macedonia. But we have moved foward now and could be quite promising if he thought about it.

I feel we are sorr of in the oven slowly baking really well. In 2 or 3 years we could have an great promising young side. Look at how many players we have in Serie A now, Ajeti and Hysaj 22, Manaj 19. Abrashi Bundesliga. Rashica the little wizz kid. Captain Memushaj. Xhaka and Kaçe.

Arbereshe of Argentina still identify themselves as being of Italian origin not Albanian. The fact that some might still speak some Arbereshe is more a cultural phenomenon and doesn't define their ethnicity. The same goes for some Ethnic Greeks in Albania who identify as Albanian and not Greek.

Depends who wants and doesn't want...

Father Alejandro, speak Albanian fluently despite being born and living in Argentina and he is very patriot.

It's just that in probably 100/200 years there won't be anymore Arbereshe people in Southern America. Look at her https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claudia_Conserva

Do you think her children will consider themselves as Arbereshe or pure Chilean?

Even in Italy it's hard to keep the Arbereshe community alive even thought in Italy there are alot and i believe despite mixing with Italians the Arbereshe culture will not be forgotten.

Us trying to cap Musacchio is like an African team trying to cap Lebron.

Shit at least Musacchio knows what ethnic group his ancestors belonged to.
