Niko Kranjcar

[neptunes]

Good luck Niko and thank you for being a true professional.

I liked Niko, and feel that he had some really positive impact at times when he came on. Remember a good spell of scoring.

But he's been a model professional and feel that he deserves to play more for a club where he can get that time, so I wish him the best.

But we just got a bit uglier.

Sad to see Niko go, very talented player!+

The good news is he's going to Kiev and seeing as I'm there from time to time will nip down and watch a couple of games now!

Good luck Niko...
Will always be a favourite of mine, played a huge part getting us to the CL.

According to a Croatian paper, everything was signed this afternoon.​

And here are the details:​

​

- Kranjcar signed a 4-year deal.​

- He will be paid 2m euros per year.​

- Tottenham will receive 7m euros in transfer fees (over a few payments).​

Given we signed Kranjcar for an undisclosed fee believed to be around £2-3 million, the beancounters can say we've made a profit.​

Niko had some excellent moments, and some very good games, for Spurs, but it never quite worked out. He remained a good professional, never publicly moaning, throughout.

I sometimes wonder whether if he'd been more demonstrative, knocking on the manager's door (to use the cliche), he might have got some more game time and given us a few more special memories....

He was professional to an extent when not getting game time but it there was a question mark at times over his fitness. He carried a little too much weight at times.

Wish him all the best though. Very talented player.

 

[Schitzophonic]

Niko was my favourite player!

 

[AFred]

Towards the end of his Spurs career, I personally dont think he was given a fair chance. This was a guy who put in some very good performances when modric broke his leg during our 4th place season a few seasons ago.

IIRC even the season before last when Kranjcar came on as a substitute to grab a few late goals that led to wins, Redknapp was reluctant to give him a start the following game.

Harry for all his man management skills seem to stick to his favourites even if they are having a run of poor form.

 

[DiamondLites]

Niko was a big part of our 2 most impressive performances of the last season - the 4-0 over Liverpool & the 5-0 over Newcastle. No he isn't quick, but he is intelligent and oozes class on the ball. Him and Charlie were my spurs man-crushes, 1 down and 1 to surely follow soon

So your initial statement of 'This has been confirmed by several players as to how Redknapp treats them.'Those in and around the first team are loved, those outside of it never even get to speak to Redknapp.'....is not confirmed at all then?

Bentley actually did the opposite of what you accuse him of. Dos Santos himself has said himself he has a good relationship with Redknapp

Danny Rose has just complained about Harry's lack of rotation but certainly hasn't come out out and said he never gets to speak to Redknapp

I can only conclude by your inability to back up your claims by supplying no evidence is that you are making stuff up in the hope that people follow your anti-Harry agenda?

No i just can't be fucked to dig out all the quotes i've read, just like you haven't either

Talented and technical but a chronic lack of pace prevented him excelling in Premier League. Much better suited to leagues that are less frenetic

great player for us, never really got a look in when bale came to life.
Now with niko and pineear looking like they are leaving or have left we need cover for lennon and bale.

I've hyperlinked the stories in my post which by in large contradict your claims. They didn't take much digging out, about 2 mins to be precise.

Your claims however may take alot longer to find as I suspect that as you likely made them up, they probably don't exist

No idea why he fell out of favour with Harry. I liked him a lot and thought that he was a classy player that suited the Spurs style. Shame it didn't really work out for him but I hope he doesn't regret his time here.

this is our problem. we will find it very hard to improve on Bale and Lennon within our wage budget. So it's best to buy young players with great potential.

Pienaar/Kranjcar are good players but never got given a chance by our fans because they keep getting compared to two of the best wingers in the prem.

Gareth Bale?

 

[Zammo]

Gareth Bale?

That was definitely an obstacle for him, but even when Bale didn't play he wasn't always the immediate replacement.

Technically a good play but IMO his all round game wasn't suited to EPL always thought he'd be excellent in a more tech leauge ie Italian so its off to Ukrain...good luck and thanks
