Nga preçedenti "Basha", mund te fitojm ca lojtare te vlefshem qe do ti shtonin edhe me teper konkurence grupit aktual te lojtareve qe kemi ne dispozicion. Une do te propozoja :

1) Shkodran Mustafi - CB - Sampdoria Genoa
2) Vullnet Basha - CM - FC Sion
3) Enis Alushi - CM - Fc Kaiserslautern
4) Jurgen Gjasula - OM - MSV Duisburg

Nje katershe qe do te sjellte konkurence pikerisht ne ca reparte ku nuk kemi shume alternativa ...

Well, it allows double nationality but only if you meet certain requirements. I don't know them exactly and if all those players meet with those requirements.

Gjasula said before that he want's to play for us, but it's hard because he has to drop his German nationality.

Mustafi would be great for us, but i doubt he wants to play for us. But FSHF should try, we got nothing to lose.

Kasami isn't any better then the strikers we have. Kasami don't offer nothing I don't get why Fulham bought him in first place he's terrible player one of the worst forwards premiership ever had. Personally I hope we don't get him.
Kasami isn't that bad you make him. He is still 20! In England it's not that easy for young players. That's why a lot of them are send on loan to clubs from lower levels, look at Wellbeck or Cleverley. Kasami is the playmaker and captain of Swiss U21, I don't think that's because the coach thinks he's a nice person. If we can get a player like that it's great for us.

Kasami is from struga in Maqedoni, he did emigrate to Switzerland though

Totally forgot bout that guy until recently he recently posted a pic with hyka (he's on loan at luzern) stating with my "Albanian bro" or some shit like that..getting him could be huge as like basha (with the kosovars)could prompt more Albanians originally from Maqedoni to come over to the NT

First of all he's not a striker; he's a CM. His market value is at 2 million(not bad for a 20 year old), he's the captain of Swiss u21 with many caps, won the u17 world cup, etc.

I'm sure he's looking to play for the Swiss though.

Don't think Mustafi would refuse because he's not a big talent. He's perfect for Albania level.

He's still young so that's why I think he still hopes to play for Germany just like Mavraj did. But I think now is the best moment to try, because he isn't even close to their first team. With Hummels, Badstuber, Boateng etc. his changes to play for Germany are 0% for at least the next 4/5 years. Same goes for Kasami with Xhaka, Inler, Behrami, Dzemaili playing on his position. But I also think he's looking to play for the Swiss. But no shot is always missed!

Mustafi would be a very important player for us and FSHF should do something about it but recently he said that his first choice is Germany and then Albania. I'm not sure if we need players like that. He also just recently got capped by the u21's so it highly doubtful to see him in our colors.

This would be a very good pick up in many ways. First he looks to have ability and could do a job for us, at least better than Bulku. Second it will be a major kick in the teeth to Switzerland if he chooses us as he is a regular in their U21 team. If he accepts the offer it will probably change the trend in players from Switzerland rejecting us. Last thing is I dont understand why one would play for a team like the Swiss which has no identity even if they play in major tournament, playing for us should be a no brainer.

We are lucky Switzerland is producing so many class CMs(Inler, Behrami, Xhaka, Dzemaili, etc) that they don't need the level just below (both Bashas, Abrashi, Kukeli, Kasami(maybe) etc ...)


Basically we are getting their leftovers but they have so much depth in those positions that their leftovers are not bad.

It's funny how alot of the players that were listed here were suddenly called up


Let's update this thread!

New players that should be introduced/scouted:
Defenders:
Simos Roumpoulakos, LB, PAS Giannina

Midfield:
Adrian Nikci, RM, Hannover
Enis Alushi, CM, Kaiserslauten



Any good forward options out there?

Might be the best for him actually. Best situation is some low tier EPL team snatches him up and he has a chance to fight for 1st team minutes.

He's not good enough for Man U but that doesn't mean he's not a bad player. Remember Paul Pogba was released by them and was a regular for Juventus.
