Kranjcar

[Royal Family]

He's class. Would love him to play for us. Genuinely never seen him play a bad game.

 

That's because he rarely plays due to injuries....

 

This would be a genuinely dumb signing.

[Funkasy]

enough of glass men on our team.

[Monster Masch]

Injury prone, slow and goes missing too often. I'd rather go for Albrighton if we're talking squad wingers as Kranjcar is not what I have in mind regarding our first team wingers.

[WaltonRed]

Not for me

[Lee909]

As i said before while he wouldnt be my first choice if we could get rid of Cole and Maxi and bring in him instead id be very happy,he younger and would be on far less in wages.He must want 1st team football though so i dont see it.

[silverlining]

Well, he's obviously better than that clown Maxi, but who isn't?

[Glen C]

Pointless signing. We need pace in our first 11 and he doesn't have any.

[Unrighteous]

Not good enough. Not quick enough.

[Razoray]

Our main issue is pace and width, ain't it?

 

Yep and he gives neither. A no for me.

[shaunstrudwick]

if Kranjcar is the level of signing we are aspiring to this summer then FSG can fucking do one

[Seemann]

I'd be pleased swapping him with Joe Cole and give them a couple of mill. aswell.

 

The injuries is a concern, but I think he has a better chance than Cole for contributing to our team over the next 3-4 years.

 

He wouldn't be in our strongest 11, but he could certainly be a nice alternative to say a quick winger on the left. He scores a lot of goals and is good on set pieces too.

[silverlining]

 

He scores a lot of goals

 

 

No he doesn't

[s(k)aturation]

Croatians, I'm half-one myself, are hit and miss. A bit like my posts!

 

Suker etc... brilliant but temperamental, helped them finish an unbelievable 3rd at France '98.

 

Kranjcar not dissimilar although not an out-and-out-striker. Would depend on what Kenny thinks of how many wildcards he can play.

 

Others better, I'd say, but you'd leave the judgment in the King's hands, wouldn't you?

[Duff Man]

Pace, godammit, PACE!

[GJM]

He's scored less than 20 league goals in total since 2006 - best part of 5 seasons. Not a great return for a supposedly attacking midfielder.

 

I hope our reported interest in him is not true.

[Guest TK-421]

Would rather spend money on players in positions we actually need rather than buy players in positions where we're already well covered.

 

Save the £6m and buy that better winger instead.

 

Yeah, there are reasons not to sign him I grant you that, but I still would as I think he's a classy player with a lot to offer. He's my Quaresma. Everyone needs a Quaresma.

[RobbieOR]

Pace? Yeah lets just buy players with pace, you need to strike a balance.

[Seemann]

I'd still say he scores a lot of goals and I'd prefer him to Cole, Jovanovic or Maxi any day.

Agreed, good point. To those three, absolutely preferably.

 

And that National appearances/goal ratio isn't a bad one at all, is it?

[Lightforce]

Pace? Yeah lets just buy players with pace, you need to strike a balance.

 

The only way we'll be able to strike a balance is to buy players with pace, because at the moment we dont fucking have any.

[MLB]

Does anyone actually think there is any chance of this happening? I don't.

[1892-LFCWasBorn]

Id swap Cole for him in a heartbeat.

 

I'd swap Cole for a boil.

[Code]

Pace? Yeah lets just buy players with pace, you need to strike a balance.

 

You mean we have to even out the players with pace with slow turtle paced fuckers?

[Guest TK-421]

Swap Cole for Niko.

[Iantn]

You mean we have to even out the players with pace with slow turtle paced fuckers?

 

Think the point is pace ain't the only thing we need to look at to speed up our play.
