Good luck to the lad.

Although knowing our luck, I bet we've signed the only Kosovan who's soft as shite.

Could be a great signing. Kosovo are having a little bit of a golden generation right now. I’ve never seen him play mind but he ticks the boxes of where we should be looking. Wish the lad well!

Wikipedia tells me that he made his professional debut in a 0.21 away win. So let’s get a friendly at St James’ set up ASAP;)

And for the point that really matters. He’s great and above this level on football manager. So relax.

Now after all of that good will, here is my attempt to phonetically type out how you pronounce his name. Forgive me Alby if you’re reading this: Dz-em-ay-lee. For sake of ease let’s just say Smiley with a Z. Any Balkan based fans able to confirm?

I have tried to pronounce with his help a couple of times and I still sound drunk
 
We kind of got the surprise ruined and just went 'yay Kosovo' when he came in. I'm excited by this lad.

With any f***ing luck none of the squad get on RTG because it's the most savage public sphere I've ever seen, but just in case, ha'way the Xhemajli, welcome to Sunderland

There was like a 6/8 minute vid of him up when someone first spotted the Jones link, but it went Private pretty quick once it was noticed. Given he's a 22yr old CB it's pretty nuts he has a highlight reel at all.

Look at that two-footedness though. Pinging it with the right or the left peg? That is SO rare. If I was 10, I'd be getting Xhemajli on my shirt.

Going to wait till he scores at home to get his name on my boys shirt for free I think.

This is the best signing so far - we don't know how good he'll be..

If you don't know how good he will be how do you know he's the best signing? 😂 😂😂

Your lad will be an OAP by the time a Sunderland player scores.

I'll bet the club have forgotten to order any capital 'X's mate, don't think we've ever needed any before!

I’m perfectly happy with the signing. It was a light hearted piss take. :lol:

Which is ironic as when I take a piss I probably am more happy than I am with this signing 🤣🤣

We have had a long and distinguished history of picking only the worst players currently playing. Yesterday's result showed it despite Hull being the stronger team. Strong enough to win despite not playing well.

I've no idea what the lad is like but its the type of signing we should have made more of. Young, hungry, eager to improve with his entire career ahead of him and someone we can develop into a player that either outgrows us and we make a profit on or gets us higher up the leagues.

The best thing about this signing however (if its deliberate) is that he's clearly been signed to suit our system. I dont think its an accident he's been used as a left sided centre back in a back three. Thats really good scouting, should hopefully slot straight in.

I agree with all of that, but what worries me is how long he'll have to wait for a start in the team - I hope I'm wrong, but I think PP will persist with Flanagan till he either gets injured, or has a few awful performances in a row.
