And the Kace hype is getting out of hand by us. He's not the savior you guys make him out to be.
As if Berisha is some Neur esque keeper that cannot be replaced. I did not say Strakosha should replace him, i said i HOPE he will become good enough too.

Kaçe is our best player without a shadow of a doubt. I don't understand some of you, it's like you live in some dream world when it comes to our team. It is not full of great players so i do not know why the good ones get put down, 'Hysaj can't attack', 'Manaj only dives', 'Rashica doesn't fit our squad'. We have Roshi as a starter! He has made one start for his Croatian club all season and he has been fit all season. Manaj plays for Inter and some of you moan about him, while the same people praise Cikalleshi, please tell me would Cikalleshi be at Inter at 19? Lol.
I don't know maybe some of you don't watch general football and only our National Team and that's ok, but players who do not start for their club do not get called up to other National Teams it is just basic stuff we need to start doing. So when a player we have plays ever game well like Hysaj and Kaçe they should be praised, or if we manage to have a player like Manaj playing for Inter the same should be done.

Even without comparing Kaçe with our players he is an amazing footballer. A mix of Pirlo and De Jong, a really top player who possess great technical abillity mixed with a rough robust defensive style. The moment that shka came in as coach of PAOK he said Kaçe is one of our best player, at 22, for a decent club aswell who played Europa League this season.
I'm not hating on Kace but like the rest of the guys he's a limited player as well. We rave on him for his passing ability but he doesn't have the influence offensively for PAOK as he should, from the few Europa league games I caught he seemed like a bystander. Although he's a midget I do like his aggression defensively and his willingness to put in hard challenges(Although his positioning can be poor). I'm just refuting the notion that we all have(I used to think it as well) that Kace is some mini-Xavi, he's not.. But yeah he's a better player than Abrashi or Basha/Kukeli.

To me our best performer has been Xhaka, he's the engine of our midfield. Our best player(in terms of talent and pedigree) is Hysaj but he's been above average to steadily good for the NT. Berisha, Mavraj and Cana are other consistent players for the NT. Besides that you have players who are hit or miss for the NT, one game they look like Bale and the next game they're out of it (Lenjani)

Hey everyone i have been following the forum for a while since everyone was in xtratime. I never had an account in xtratime and i just recently made one here since the forum became private and you couldnt read anymore without an account. I pretty much dont like to argue about stuff and thats the only reason why i never wanted to make an account. But after reading more comments lately i feel as if i wonna jump in because idk if some of you are trolling or youre not honest, or you just say good stuff about players that you like. I am also a failed footballer who had a dream once and i tell you i was pretty good. I also know a few players in the nt (personally). If you guys allow me i would like sum up everything about our players in the national team including the coach. If i am not allowed to say anything for watever reason it might be "like some1 might think im a troll or something" i'd like to say that i think albo_eagle has the most logical comments here. Also i hope this new guys erik is a troll cus the moment i read his comment saying "abrashi and shala have better technical abilities then kace i've crossed him off" dude has no idea whats he talking about. Thanks for reading.

Nice first post, so you're a ''failed footballer'' who knows players in the NT personally. Which players in the national team do you know personally and how often do you speak to them?

I'm also really interested to hear in which areas you think Kace is better technically than Abrashi/Shala?

Abrashi has been Freiburgs centrepiece in their promotion to the Bundesliga this season and most of their build up goes through him. And the only reason Shala gets no game time is because he doesn't have the work rate or stamina for the De Biasi system. Many technically better players struggle or get left out in his system because it just doesn't cater for them.

I seriously don't understand why some of you see Kace as some kind of XavI/Makelele hybrid when in reality he's very limited technique wise. Physically he's right up their despite his height but I've not seen enough of him in games for Albania and Paok to think of him as any more than that.

Edit: ''New guy'' I've been here for nearly a 8 months and was also on Xtratime

Lol i was about to reply to Erik when i saw this answered for me. Welcome.

Wow Shala and Abrashi on Kaçe's level. Unbelievable you say two players who are both older than Kaçe and play in Czech Republic and the Second League of Germany are on Kaçe level, Kaçe played in Europa League this season and is also one of the best players of his club. Please tell me how many times you have seen Kaçe play, honestly? To compare him with those two i find unbelievable. I guess everyone has different opinions but i find that beyond ridiculous.

Kaçe is not my cousing or friend that i will for no reason just big up, i probably slate our players more then anyone here for being benchwarmers and poor players in general who get praise like Gashi and Cika. I do not jump on any band waggon. Kaçe is special, that is a fact and when he gets his move to a bigger club i think everyone will see that. Living in England i watch the EPL every week and without a shadow of a doubt Kaçe would fit in perfectly and i hope Swansea or Southampton show some interest in him. How can someone say Kaçe is not special technically, re watch the France game (or watch it for the first time) as Kaçe was our best player against these are top players. Kaçe is a complete player which posseses both great attacking and defensive qualities, and while he plays a deep role for PAOK for us he is used as sort of a CAM for us showing his versitality.

In conclusion we have many poor players and all i am saying is when some special players come through you all seem to slate them and instead shower Cikalleshi and Roshi with praise. Kaçe, Hysaj, Rashica and Xhaka for me will be the backbone of our team and in comparison with what we have i find it unbelievable people choose to slate them out of all the players.

Man just watch kaces game for paok against benfika in portugal. Pure class. (for those having any doubts in his technical abilities if the games albo_eagle mentioned did not impress you)

Only a few people kept their nicknames from Xtratime, the majority have new nicknames.

Welcome to the forum, hope you stick around.

Being a PAOK fan and having watched Kaçes games regularly l have to say that he resembles the most N'golo Kante when he plays with the right partner at the midfield
Kaçe all these years has played for PAOK at only two positions DM and CM never AM like GDB plays him for Albania and that's the biggest reason he hasn't shown what he can do for the nt
But there other reasons too like who he plays with. For example at PAOK most of the time his partner at a 4-4-2 system is Tziolis a tall (1,87) strong player who doesn't run a lot but plays with his mind and of course takes the most headers for the team leaving the dirty work for Kaçe
Their partnership can be compared with the partnership of Motta-Verratti at PSG or Drinkwater-Kante at Leicester
Sometimes this season he played alongside two players who has pretty much the same characteristics as him Çimirot and Charisis both young (23 and 21) fast with good technique the results were bad for the team cause these guys are short too (1,76 and 1,74) with no body power so we won like 1/5 headers per game meaning that we didn't have the ball at our feet and when we had it we lost it with easy from stronger opponents
In conclusion l have too say that in order Kaçe too show his 100% for the nt he must not play behind the striker and must have at least one tall & strong player with him at the midfield
