Thread: Niko Kranjcar

Yes,and don´t forget V.Ćorluka-great technique and ball skils for a backwinger(they usualy just hit and run).And about cro-fetish,I think it´s like Barcenola was once "best dutch club",and french was official language in Arsenal´s lockerroom,since I´m a Spurs fan I´m glad that our best players joined my favorite squad.I hope our boys will help Spurs reach top four and play in Champions league next season.I just hope Dinamo Z. and Spurs will not meet in the CL qualifications...

No,I think I don´t know anyone in Zagreb who hates Spurs,not even after that 4:0 on WHL.But Dinamo´s supporters-Bad blue boys made us all in Zagreb proud cos they were singing,supporting and making noise all the way and after the match was finished and even it was a terrible defeat.It was great proof of loving and devotion no mather what....

First and most important of ALL... we love our country, there are no words to describe that.... everything else is second to that, when we lost in euros "that" way to Turkey, perhaps you know what im talking about, the whole nation were in state of complete shock for a week.
And we will Never get over that loss.....

As for Niko, from early years it was evident what enormous potential he had.... Magical moves, drives, assists, captain at dinamo at age of 18, complete package. But then something went wrong (you tott. fans probably dont know this): he had opinion (god forbid...), attitude and didnt hesitate to tell it.
From that point where he stood in defense of players, and dare to criticize coach and director of club his nightmare begun.....
They unlished incredible media terror on Niko through our corupted newspapers, tv, and so on, literally they tried to end his career! You cant even imagine how that looked here.....
To cut short, he survived, but 3 or 4 years in his career he didnt progress as a player as much he would normally do, in normal sourroundings.
His recovery slowly started at Portsmouth, but the problem was portsmouth is just not the club where he can show what he can do.
But now he came here, and let me tell you; i am delighted with what i see!
And the best part is, this is not all, by far..... His shot has potential to be simply deadly, and remember that 2nd goal vs. City? has the potential to to that all the time. He did that when he was 18.....all the time, just has to come out again.

There, a little insight on him, i wish him all the best, of all people he deserved it!

Its amazing how swiftly our opinions changed on Niko. Went from fill-in/sub to undroppable and has kept Modders out of the starting XI for two stright games. His impact was felt quicker thane we could have dreamed. Surely the bargain of the year for 2.5 mil.

Hello everyone. I'm the new guy here. I'm Croatian and love Tottenham and the Croatian national team!!

First things first, Tottenham bought a 24 - 30 million dollar player for 2-5 mill!!!! THAT IS PROBABLY one of the best purchases I have ever seen a club make EVER.

Niko is fantastic, I cant imagine the Croatian team without him. he is pure class...the more attention you give him, the better he plays on the pitch.

I think it is safe to say that Tottenham has the best Middfield in ENGLAND now. Kranjcar has amazing dribbling skills, great shot, and accurate long passes. Modric is quick and has very accurate short and long ground passes. Lennon has unstoppable speed and is a nusence to any team in the prem. Pallacios gives strengh in the midfield, hes a bodyguard of some sort...he keeps us an offensive team by winning goal kicks and tackles.

This team that we have can win the league. EFF 4th place!!!

It´s true that in this season Spurs,especially in the midfield have high-class players (Lennon,Tom H.,Palacios,Niko,Luka,Jenas,Keane...),but so happened a few times in the past and there was no good game or result in the end.
The big difference in last and especially this season is in my opinion in the spirit,state of mind,believing in your own quality,mental strenght and avareness that we belong to the very top of the league and really can beat anyone,collectiveness,bond and cohesion among players,menager and fans-all that positive atmosphere united with quality of players will result with finishing the season in top 4 and playing CL next season...

Hahahaha!

I've just flicked around the Pompey forums, to see what they had to say about their ex-player scoring twice for us today.

"Fat Tub of Lard for Spuds.(x2)"

".... arse like a racehorse, more chins than Mr Blobby."

".... that was a rarity, wasn't it? Best bit of business we did for years when we sold him."

How stupid are these people? And how lucky are we to have him?
