Fans Excited About Kranjcar

Not a prolific goalscorer but there is obviously more depth to this young talented man as a provider. Hope he fits in well and that Harry doesn't rush him into the 'front line' too soon. He could have a very bright future as we sell him for 20M to Chelsea.

bit of a landslide result tbh. i had thought fernandes would get more of a vote but equally both great transfers.

Taylor will keep his place in the side until Kranjcar or anyone shines more, but you might find if stefanovic isn't playing well he'll move matty to left back or possibly if Johnson gets injured again, linvoy might move to right back and harry we'll play campbell along side dejan and move matty to left back, and if campbell or linvoy get injured, matty will move to left back and dejan will play at centre half!

Pompey pessimist LoL ...im surprised, your surprised at the result as we have had quite a few Croatian visitors to the site and gained a lot of new croatian pompey fans.... :-) welcom boys.. by the way Westov you forgot if Johnson gets injured H will play Pamarot in that position.

Bit scary that poll result.That's the kind of numbers I'd expect to see come out of croatia poll .His every move was under scrutiny in croatia which put him under huge pressure .If he had one bad game the knives were drawn.I just hope he settles in before trying to take on teams by himself just to live up to these expectations.I think in the WC he was just a shadow of his true ability, not sure why but he didn't take the defences on like he did in qualifying.Extra pressure?? Not sure but he's a confidence player so he'll want to start well .But I do believe he's the best talent since the team of 98.Up to that class no question but that was a team of players in their late 20's and early 30's so he has plenty of time on his side.Still, he's been bought on what he's shown already and he'll have to find his feet quickly.I would like to point out that the premiership almost ruined Bosko Balaban.Before he came to England he looked a superb talent.An absolute goal machine back home and a hat-trick for Croatia in one of his first games for the national side.He then went to villa as we all know and was awful and it almost ended his career.But he simply wasn't suited to the pace of the game nor was he given the chance to find his feet if I remember right.Didn't produce in the first few games and was a bench warmer for the remainder of his career in england.I know he had the skills cause I saw him score some amazing goals and he went to belguim and was top scorer in the league first season I think.My point being that Niko is the most talented player croatia has produced ,possibly ever, but the prem is a killer league.Give him time and he'll be a star player. He 'll have to force his way into a decent side too, wicked midfield.If I didn't know better I'd think this team was built to play in european competition.It looks like a rotation policy may be needed.

Greetings from Split,Croatia! Give Niko some time and use him as a center midfield or attacking mid and he will make great show there! Drži se Niko!
