Yeah I totally agree, he's settling in very well and I think by the time he does settle in I think he'll be immense. I think after his performance in the Sunderland match, Harry may start him more oftern, well, hopefully anyway

Whoever said Nikko is rubbish is a complete Tard, the guy is a class act and we are totally ruining his career by not playing him on the left especialy with Modders out, i blame Harry 100% for the lack of action hes seeing i mean he would rather put Palacios on the left against the scum and Keane there for the other games which is a trully strange decision to keep making.
What exactly was the point of buying this established Croat if hes going to discarded to the bench!!!

erm, Palacios wasn't on the left v Scum, mate. He was where he usually is, on the left side of CM. Its just we had the extra man in CM & Robbie was supposed to drop out wide left, effectively a 451 or a 4321 to be more precise.Originally Posted by yidno1
I don't agree at all that Harry is "ruining his career" that is an exaggeration if ever I heard one! Niko is settling in & he'll get plenty opportunities but I think Harry was correct not to play him at Arsenal. I think Harry's tactics against Arsenal were spot on tbh, it was just the players who failed to do their bit.
I am surprised Niko did not play against sunderland. That is the only time I have really questioned Harry's selection this season. Niko arrived & was a sub for his 1st 2 games, v United & Chelsea, but he then played the next 4 in a row & I thought he was excellent in every single 1 of those games. Next came Arsenal & I do not believe he was what we needed in that fixture but why he did not come straight back into the side against Sunderland, at Home, I have no idea. The only thing I can suggest is that we don't see the guys in training every day like Harry does & there may have been something to cause Harry to think Niko was not 100%
Regardless, Niko has played plenty of football since coming here & has started as many Prem games as he's not. Arsenal was the only game he has not had any involvement in at all& he'll surely play against Wigan also as I don't think Modders will walk straight back into the starting lineup after being out for so long but, if he does, he deffo not last the full 90.
I've been very happy with him since he's come & he gives us something I really felt we were lacking, a midfielder prepared both to shoot from distance as well as get himself into the box. JJ can do it, but doesn't do it enough.
Jan Vertonghen!
Vertonghen is his name!
Spurs will never ever-ever,!
lose again!

I disagree with everything youve said especially the crap re Harry getting the tactics 'spot on' against the scum just to remind we lost 3 nil without a serious effort on target, yeah it was great to watch!
Not sure how you also come to the conclusion Nikko has had lots of action, hes been on the bench more often than not.
As for the scum game and Palacios have a look again and youl see him lumbering on the left with Keane infront of him also offering f*ck all to the cause.

I think what was happening was that Keane, while deployed as basically a midfielder, wasn't tracking back to defend at all, and Palacios was pulled out wide to cover more than he probably should have been.
so I pretty much agree with yidno1- bad tactics, or at least poor personnel decision-making given that this does tend to keep happening when Keane is put in this role.
Look, I love Keano, but I think we'd be better served with Niko starting at LM tbh. But like I said earlier, I really think Harry sees him as a guy that can come on in the second half and change the pace of the game
At this point of the season, I can’t believe any team except the top 3 can afford the luxury to have a player like Niko as an impact player coming on 65th minute, with Keano doing f*** first 65 minutes.
If anyone's interested (and has access to Sky Sports 2), Niko will be featuring on the "Premier League World" programme, tomorrow night, at 7pm (it also gets repeated, at various strange hours). He'll be talking about how he's settling in at WHL.
<-------- This will be me, in front of the TV screen!

Thanx for the heads up on this , if anyone can put up a Link/Links for this it would be handy for the non subscribers

My favourite spurs player!
Kranjcar what a player he was for us this season.
I think he was about the only one yet not to have any bad games.
Do u guys think harry will let kranjcar and modric play together or not?
I really hope he does. Can u imagine one of both sitting on the bench?
Then again who would u drop ?
Or do u maybe think that harry bought kranjcar in so he could replace modric not only cuz of his injurey maybe he plans to sell him in the near future ? Alex ringing with his cash?
Not sure what the plans are but I cant imagine that modric or kranjcar would sit on the bench for a long time and be happy there.
+ I cant also imagine that our club will do the same mistakes as they did with berbatov and keane back then.
We got our wish today with Kranjcar wide left, what a difference! Looked the class player we know he is, gives a very different threat to Aaron thus creating even more problems to defenders. Aaron is all pace whereas Niko is workrate with a quality first touch and excellent passing ability.
Fitting Modric back in may prove difficult on today's performance, perhaps he could play at the head of a five man midfield with only Defoe upfront? At least when we get the inevitable injury / suspension we have back up.
Big game against Villa let's hope for another great contribution from Niko
“Show class, have pride, and display character. If you do, winning takes care of itself.”
I still think our best lineup is a 4-4-2 with a diamond 4 in the middle. Wilson at CDM, Modders at LM, Lennon at RM and Kranjcar at CAM.

Thugbeatz:
I think both will stay, play together vs. the weak teams in the beginning, see how it turns out. Also, with a near-certainty of European action next year, they will both get more than enough games even if they don't paly together. If you play in Europe, you need to have that width and this is what we're getting. To be a top four club, you need to have two 11-man teams, with the sub team capable of at least mid-table Prem performances. With Niko and Luka you have two smart guys capable of seeing the big picture and not afraid to sacrifice themselves for the team.
Also, they're magic...
Niko is my favorite player in Spurs and in Cro team,so my opinion of him is all the best,from ball skills-shot power and accuracy,teamwork,attitude,behavior of the field...
Even though he can play a few positions I believe he gives his best on the left midfield,a lil bit forward,and now when Luka´s back in the middle it will be fantastic midfield line-Kranjčar,Modrić,Lennon,think they will work great together
