Albanians abroad

[Albanian Damien]

Lol, people talking shit about Rashica but don't even know where on the pitch he plays, while in the same post saying Manaj is somehow better. That speaks for itself about the baseless hate and ignorance from some people on this forum.

As for Rashica having the chance to prove himself: Rashica had one half against Qatar. That's all he had. Meanwhile he had a decent season in a decent league playing for a decent team where he proved himself.

Also, shove that "we" birthed-shit up your ass. You didn't birth shit. The people of Kosova shed blood for that land, now stfu with this bs already.

Lol I labeled him as a striker by mistake and now everything I say is wrong? He had opportunities vs Qatar and Luxembourg, he didn't take advantage. If he can't impose his will on those team he simply wasn't ready for Euros.

Also Albania did birth you, your culture, your language, your heritage. If not for us you guys would either be speaking Turkish or Serbian.

Tell me a single mainland Kosovar that's talented. We're both just taking talents away from Switzerland/Germany/Belgium.. The only difference is that guys like:

Berisha
Hysaj
Kace
Sadiku
Manaj

All born in Albania..

Berisha was born in Prishtine but a Swedish product, Kace born in Korce then "Made" by greek football, Manaj and Hysaj born in London Albania but chewing football in Italy. Just Sadiku was forged like Çeliku in Elbasani's muddy fields.

You don't know shit about him, that's what is wrong and your absence of knowledge of him just tells us that you don't know wtf you're talking about.

Albania didn't birth Kosova, you imbecile. Kosova is Albania. What exactly did 'Albania' do so Kosova wouldn't be Serbian or Turkish, you piece of shit? - You're not more Albanian than anyone from Kosovë and you didn't do anything more Albanian than anyone in Kosovë - Quite the contrary.

If it wasn't for Isa Boletini and his 300 soldiers, Ismail Qemali wouldn't have had enough support to declare independence because the people in Vlorë didn't recognize the new flag and wanted to stay under Ottoman rule.

Berisha was 21 when he went to Sweden. I don't think you can call him a Swedish product.

Hysaj spent most of his childhood in Albania and played for Vllaznia's youth teams so he be called an Albania product too.

From the NT the pure Albania products are : Hoxha, Hysaj*, Agolli, Lila, Roshi, Hyka, Balaj, Sadiku, Cikalleshi. Manaj*?(like Hysaj I believe that he spent some of his childhood in Albania).

From the youth teams Cekici and Bare are Albania products too.

Some others like Memushaj, Kace were born in Albania but Italian/Greek products. Strakosha was born and raised abroad.

Interesting thing to note is that from this team we only have ONE player who was born in Kosovo. Crazy right? That's Etrit Berisha.

Lenjani was also born in Kosovë.

Dallku, lately Kaçe too didn't get any playing minute and I seriously doubt it was because he lacked talent. Memushaj too 2 years ago played in Serie C, and he turned out to be a key player in this team.
So I wouldn't use those 2 parameters to judge him, at least not with the Brahimi I know, a player almost at Kaçe's level I would say.
I think that their grim club position had/have more to do about mental midgets in societies key positions with little to no knowledge about football.

You could be right though about Celina, but again I remember his very good technic and his cheeky playing style.

Overall I do think we lost 3 very valuable players, not only quality wise but also numerically, we have few players right now in every position.

[Dallku]

Brahimi is 24, not a young kid anymore and he has always struggled with play time at any club he was in.

For the Albanian u-21 he was decent. From that generation I thought Vajushi was a much better attacker though. Shame he's rotting somewhere in Serie B.

[Rodon]

Yeah Vajushi is in a similar position, I saw some of his matches last year at Livorno and he was among their best players the few times he played.

Actually it's been a while that I've started to think that more than talent, Albanians lack image appeal. Just the other day I saw a Fifa ranking with Transfermaekt money value of the NTs and it was pretty interesting to note that Albania had only 4 teams above it with cheaper team value, meaning that in compareason with its potentional, Albania is among the most undervalued NT in the world.

I'll look if I can find that link.

Lenjani was also born in Kosovë.

Kukeli too was born in Kosove. What Kosova diaspora has failed to produce so far is a good top level striker.
