Albanians abroad

With memories of the golden years (80's) of the albanian football still fresh on her mind, Albania is now attempting to recreate its strong football legacy. As young players start making their names abroad, the future is looking bright for Albanian football!

Princ's love story with Ramadani is fascinating. You couldn't have picked a more mid player.

Show an unbiased source praising Ramadani... like a Hungarian coach or analyst or something. You won't find any. They literally ran him out of Hungary because he was so bad that he went all the way to relegation Scotland for his career to continue.
So bad?

That's a strange way to describe a move to a bigger club.

In a more charitable perspective, you could notice how he had stood out enough for a club from a better division to buy him from half way across Europe.

Bigger club how? There is no difference between Aberdeen and Albanian league teams. They are punching bags when they enter European qualifiers. Laci was more respectable than them last season. At least they got eliminated by Anderlecht while Aberdeen got raped by Qarabag. Not to mention their whole team is worth less than Nedim Bajrami alone.

The Scottish league outside of Celtic and Rangers is a joke. No different to any other crap league.

So..?

Iceland ($27million) opened as the favourite to beat Albania ($109million) on June 6th. Israel ($56million) is favoured to win the group.

Scottish league ranked top 10 by UEFA..

Better than Serbian, Russian, Belgian, Ukrainian league, and way ahead of Turkish, Czech, Danish, Croatian league.

It's a much better stepping stone than playing in the Hungarian division, assuming Ramadani is good enough.

Aberdeen is not a good club and probably not all that better than his previous team. But it is much richer, with many thousands more fans and in a much more visible league.

That matters as a player. The club isn't much better but all English clubs scout the Scottish league, and with thousands more fans if he plays well itll be a lot easier to be noticed and have those 'analysts' talking about him, because even if the league sucks, absolutely nobody is paying attention to the Hungarian league. They are more so with the Scottish.

If he does well there, who knows, maybe he ends up at a Championship team or even Celtic/Rangers. Probably a pipe dream to see Ramadani in a decent club but much more likely now he doesn't play for MTK Budapest.

Exactly. They get all their coefficient points by those two teams being in either CL or EL every year. Teams like Aberdeen sure as hell are not giving them points. We can all see how competitive they are.

Dinamo Zagreb is doing the same thing for Croatia. Take out DZ and the Croatian league would be ranked as one of the worst leagues in Europe

The reason there are always talks about Celtic moving to the EPL or even Championship is because their competition in the Scottish league is literally amateur.

It looks like Vrioni could be sent on a further loan to Getafe.

I think it would be better if he played for a team in Turkey/Belgium/Netherlands before making the step to a top league.
