Niko Kranjcar

Spurs would be mad to sell em to us, unless .........................................!

He's leaving Spurs , irrespective , kid .

Why he doesn't play there. We need strikers not Nico. I don't see Harry going after Peanut in the Winter when he's got Bale and won't have to pay a fee in the offseason.

If we lose Pienaar, which is looking likely, we need to replace him as soon as possible really. Buying a goalscorer will mean nothing if we haven't got someone to supply him. As for Kranjcar, I think he'd be a slight step down, but nothing major. He's a similar player to Pienaar in alot of ways, and he and Baines would compliment eachother.

The only worry I'd have is the difference in energy and workrate, Pienaar's excellent at pressing, closing down and forcing defenders into mistakes. He doesn't half get through alot of work.

I agree on that point . Plus , Krancjar lacks pace for me , but needs must an' all .

Kid can play though .

True, we'd have to balance things out and get a pacy right sided player.

Is Yakubu's contract out in the summer?

 

[ijjysmith]

Krancjar would indeed be a slight step down from Pienaar. However, if Moyes can get him to work as hard as Pienaar does then we should do alright.

LCAB mate, do you think we will see both players going and coming in Jan? Reason I ask is I have got all excited in recent transfer windows and just want to set my expectations right this time and you of course are the man!

 

[kenada_blue]

Charlie N'Zog would be the ultimate replacement for Pienaar IMO.

Honest to Fod , I concur .

Mate , Yak COULD leave in about 6 weeks the way things are going .

Ill go out on a limb an' say 1 of him or Saha will NOT be here in May .

Just ME , btw . Not S related .

I do , Ijj' , yes .

I think Ginger will put his foot down . Heitinga , but even Pienaar . Maybe even 1 or two more, tbh .

We NEED something . I think hes gonna gamble rather than endure a push-me-pull-you end to the season as was its beginning .

We are CLOSE . HE KNOWS THIS . He wants to AT LEAST GIVE IT A REAL GO . If it don't work out , so be it , but don't die wondering .

Again , my own feelings , kid .

It looks like there's going to be alot of rebuilding then, it's going to be an interesting summer. Pienaar, Yakubu, Vaughan and Anichebe all out of contract with the futures of players like Heitinga, Bilyaletdinov and Saha uncertain.

If we are safe and not struggling in the League, starting to rebuild in January wouldn't be a bad thing. I don't think Moyes could handle all that work in one summer, he's going to have to work around it, if he can.

I think he may SWAP 3 maybe 4 pieces of the jigsaw , yes .

I think a centre forward may be among the departures AND arrivals , tbh , kid .

No worries , Dude .

 

[best little spaniard]

I know they're your gut feelings LCAB, but for some reason, I dont hold much hope that anything will happen. I'm just presuming Pienaar will leave at the end of the season, and we'll be a bit stuffed.
