Broja lacks tactical understanding. I said this a long time ago so it's nice to see people echoing the same sentiments now.

He gets his head down and kicks and runs but doesnt really think about what he's doing or get in space for teammates to pass to him. The best strikers are ones who are smart and understand how to move and connect with their teammates. Currently he is an athlete who will score a few amazing goals here and there purely from his brilliant physical attributes but he will not be a consistent contributor until he understands how to play football.

January will be a make or break month for Broja. Jackson is away with Senegal at CAF so he should be getting a lot more minutes. West Hamm have shown interest in Broja. I think he might be better suited to their counter attackign style of play thank Chelsea's.

Fikaj can be a gem like Mitaj he impressed during the summer pre season games and is a regular at Panathinaikos B team which plays at Greek 2nd division
He also said at an interview that his dream is to play at a world cup with Albania
Cokaj is dog shit

If he could be half as good as Mitaj that'd be a win for us.

What about Leandro Frroku?

Unfortunately Frroku had two serious injuries in a row and hasn't played any games this season 😞
He needs to work extra hard now it's too bad for him because he even made his debut for the 1st team last season

Mitaj was able to get minutes for AEK when he was 17 and he even had an impressive performance against Leicester in the Europa league. Just because this kid got called up to the bench doesn't mean anything as that happens all the time with youth players. Mitaj always passed the "eye" test as a young player as he always showed good physical abilities and talent on the ball. Teams are noticing Mitaj and he will be playing in a top league sooner than later.

Edit: Nevermind the comparison was to Ndoj. Also noticed he's still not capped by Greece after rejecting Albania.

Mitaj is one of the most talented players we have in our pool right now. We don't need Fikaj to be as good as Mitaj to call him up.

Ndoj Kabashi. Rejecting Albania has turned into a curse lol. Januzaj was the worst one, because Albania could've given him great experience at a crucial age where he just benchwarmed.
