Frankie 8,570 Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Hmmm, I'm not sure about Kranjčar to be honest. He's a talented player but his career has gone backwards, he's 32 in a couple of months and he'll cost a fair whack. At least Barton has come off the back of a great season. On the other hand, we need more creative players and we need experience. Time will tell I suppose... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uilleam 5,948 Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Recently, and randomly, Radio 5 described Krancjar as a "Match of the Day player": one who looks good on highlights reels, but over 90mins..... I think that he would/will be an attractive addition to the squad. However, he is not a guy for the muck and the nettles, or the blood and the snotters, if you prefer. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

buster. 5,199 Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 (edited) Hmmm, I'm not sure about Kranjčar to be honest.

On the other hand, we need more creative players and we need experience. Time will tell I suppose... We will find it very difficult to attract or afford current international players of an obvious EPL level so if you want experienced ability this is the type of profile we'll have to look at and the gamble you take. Sometimes you may get an 'Indian Summer' out of a player but first he needs to be fit enough to play. I was pleasently surprised we got Barton, who was sought after down south aswell. It was reported that MW spoke to NK in the US and if he did, then that is encouraging. The other dynamic these type of players can bring to the squad is that paygrades that tend to be more uneven and this can make it more difficult to manage. If we want to compete then this is inevitable and I'm sure MW will be looking to turn it into a positive. I looked at one of the NK videos at Spurs and he was playing beside Bale and Modric Edited June 10, 2016 by buster. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

boabie 230 Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Somebody said Kranjcar has only played 90-odd games in 6 years. If that's true I'd hope his troubles are well behind him now. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
