Asllani move to Inter was very stupid decision from him, too early and he went on worst possible club. It's sad to see him and Kumbulla hindering their development with terrible decision making outside pitch. Kumbulla has already accepted fringe player role at Roma.

If Kumbulla spent more time at a lower level playing more minutes and developing he would have been able to make the jump without problems, but only played 1 season before moving to a bigger team and also under a coach who is famous for not having patience with his players.

Also didn't take the chance to move to Torino with Juric when they had interest and Roma were allowing him to leave.

If Asllani doesn't play many minutes he should try and move on loan ASAP and not make the same mistake as Kumbulla.

Asllani should (at least) be getting Gagliardini's minutes.

Look at Inzaghi's subs today and the timing of them. He changed his backline 4 times during the game just because they got yellow cards. There is no way he doesn't get fired.

Stankovic is the favorite to take over when he gets fired. He could be a good father figure to Kristian.

I don't think Asllani problem is Simone Inzaghi, maybe next manager will prefer Asllani over Gagliardini and give him more minutes from bench but no manager on earth will bench Brozovic to play Asllani.

Stankovic is name mentioned by Inter fans nostalgic of famous tripletta but he hasn't shown nothing in his managerial career to deserve job of Inter magnitude. Stankovic downgraded Crvena Zvezda from Champions League club to Europa League and had budget more than previous coach.

Broja, Kumbulla, Asllani have all gotten themselves in the same dilemma.

Perform well in youth team -> Perform well in bottom table club -> Go to higher club and get benched cause they don't trust you.

It's just a case of ownership wanting these guys to succeed, but coaches not trusting them.

The issue is that Asllani can play alongside Brozovic. Even Inzaghi said this at the start of the season.

The problem with Italian coaches is once they get fixated on something, no amount of evidence will change their mind.

Inzaghi is restricting his potential by keeping him only a sub for holding midfielder.

Why not try him as a CM/box to box?

Ironically, during the game vs Inter last year he played as a #10 and he scored. Don't think he has potential as a #10 but as a CM? Definitely. Pre season showed it too where he was showed some attacking potential.

Potter apparently loves Broja and is going to start him. Thank god for that

Over 2.5..
Yes (~42%)
No (~58%)

Both teams to score..
Yes (~48.5%)
No (~51.5%)

Albania starts out strong, but fades as the game goes on. We must field our most conditioned group of players to handle a motivated Israel, who comes in as favourite and looks to win 1st place in front of their home fans.

Edon Zhegrova with an emotional post about the "traitors" lol https://telegrafi.com/wp-content/upload ... grova1.jpg

Has to be said and I've always said this.... Kosovo has the most amount of mercenaries out of any other country. They make Africans look nationalistic...

This is why I never bought into the "Duka asked me for money" bs myths. What are the excuses now? Xhaka, Shaqiri, Behrami, etc also had the chance to play for Kosovo when they got accepted and they refused. Valon Berisha was the ONLY foreign international who made the sacrifice.
