Niko Kranjcar

[Nick77]

It's amazing how a Spurs player gets injured on the Saturday and they've gone out and bought a replacement 48 hours later.

Really emphasises how ****ed we are in terms of transfers.

Exactly I mean Krancjar cost Spurs 2 million quid which wouldn't have been much of a gamble at all. I've seen him have some decent games & some not so decent games - who knows, Rafa might have actually got the best out of him & he's only 25.
I think he would have DEFINITELY improved our squad, no doubt.

he's not a central mid, he's a forward, best position behind the striker, where we already have stevie, and can play benayoun or kuyt there if needed. kranjčar does not have the pace to be good on either wing or being a wide forward. his only attribute would be set pieces, and with aquilani to come back i'm hoping we have that sorted.

and if he was that good, Mamić(chairman of Dinamo Zagreb) would not have let him go to Hajduk for only 1€mio, but would have sold him to a club from the top 5 leagues himself, like he did Ćorluka, Modrić, Eduardo,..

That list is quite selective Where is Gerrard? And if you add Kalou what about Kuyt or Benayoun? It's not a gulf in class IMO.

I don't know, if Lampard is a midfielder I would count Gerrard as well, even if he plays that high up the field he can be used in midfield. But I probably being a bit pedantic though!

Kranjcar has a decent period about 2 years ago but generally he is ****. Not signing him is no loss to LFC and he is no replacement for Modric.

if there was ever a time for Gerrard to get back in the centre its now!!!

maybe but i would still prefer him in our current starting 11 to Lucas.

[Marky]

Talented player however he's not that great.

I'd prefer Danny Guthrie in our starting 11 than Lucas, but it's not a good measure of a player really.

I'd prefer the Biscan of 2004/05 to Lucas and I'm not exaggerating!

I can see Harry getting the best out of him.

[-V-]

He barely got anything out of him the last time he was at Pompey so I don't see how you can make that point. When was the last time Kranjar had a run of form or did anything of note? 2 or 3 years ago?
