It's a shame he couldn't reach his full potential. He was at Modric's level and deserved to play in a top team. Young people don't even know who this is...
Not true that he was at Modric's level lol. Redknapp watched both players when they were at Zagreb and asked Bilic about them when he was Croatia U21 manager. Bilic said Kranjcar was a very good player and told Redknapp to buy him, but he said Modric had world class potential and would go right to the top of the game, and Portsmouth couldn't afford him.
I named my son Niko bc of him, meet him while he was playing in our town (Zagreb), for Dinamo. He could be a far better player, maybe like his father once was (Cico Kranjčar), but he found his way anyway. I love the way he played football, the way he controled the ball, but more than that, I like him as a person... very polite, modest, well behaved guy.
He was one of my favorite players from Croatia, along with Modric, Mandzukic, Rakitic and others, he was a good pity player who suffered from injuries.
Ne bih sam bolje napisao. Volio bih zbog njega samoga da je igrao u većim klubovima, ali kao što si i sam rekao, našao je svoj put. Puno puta je bljesnuo i očarao publiku, ogroman talent je bio, ali prije svega pristojan, drag i dobar dečko. Volio bih jedino da je još koju utakmicu više odigrao za reprezentaciju. Sritno ti Niko bilo!
Most naturally gifted Croatian player in last 15 years along with Modric. Just unlucky with injuries , and lacked proper lungs to be in top 10 best players in Europe...maybe born in a wrong time. He would be on level with Batistuta in mid 90-s when football was a bit slower. Killer passing range, vision and oh that cannon in his boots...
What do you mean proper lungs? I speaked once to the coach that he was playing for in Dinamo as a young talent and Coach said Niko's problem was his work ethics
Da slažem se,samo dok je igrao u Dinamu i kasnije u Hajduku bio je užasno loš to moraš priznati,ali tek kada je otišao u englesku ligu tamo je postao ono što je uvijek trebao biti i proradilo je ono što je imao u sebi a to je nogometno znanje kakvo malo igrača ima,jer su englezi od njega napravili ovo što se tu vidi,bio je klasa od igrača šteta što barem u reprezentaciji nije dao barem 20% od ovoga...
@@jakobsantek8194 kako nije, u kvalifikacijama za euro 2012 naš najbolji igrač i strijelac, najzaslužniji što smo se kvalificirali! te 2010 je igrao najbolji nogomet šteta zbog ozlijeda i posljedičnih problema s formom...
@@jakobsantek8194 Niko Kranjčar je bio izvanredan u repki. 87 nastupa 16 golova. Još da su ga stavljali kao playmakera a ne na krilo ili kao lijevog veznog bio bi 10 puta bolji
@@michaelstark8720zbog Mamića Niko nije imao mjesto u reprezentaciji, imao je peh od samog starta u profesionalnom nogometu. Po meni bolji je od Modrića ali nije ga mazila sreća.
this guy was far better than Luka Modić, and if he had will like Luka, he would also won Golden Ball in his prime...just if he had more will for football!!he is my best ever Croatian player
Yea yea if he had will he would be far better than Modric and Maradona together . If my grandmother had a willy she would be Billy . If i was Billy i would order 1 championship for Hajduk Split so u guys stop whining and crying and embarrassing urselfes in the process like ur skaut service did 25 years ago when they didnt sign Modric because they thought he is to small to play football and they ended up sending him home. After that he signed with Dinamo Zagreb and the rest is history. Kranjčar is the biggest gentleman ever but his peak was Hajduk and Glasgow and little bit of premiership football .
@@juresibenik5281 pričaš velike gluposti. Istina je da je ovaj pretjerao s ovim da bi bio daleko bolji od Modrić što je također glupost, ali bi možda bio vrlo blizu, ako ne čak na istoj razini da je imao više discipline. A dečko je bio veliki talent. A to, da je on u rangu ovakvih klubova koje si nabrojao jer nije postigao neku karijeru, je vrlo površno razmišljanje. Svako ko je njega gledao i razumije nogomet to zna.

@@juresibenik5281 ali mi tu pričamo o samoj nogometnoj kvaliteti, odnosno talentu, a ne o sportašu kao osobi i o njegovoj profesionalnosti. Znači samo po kvaliteti, sve ono što sam rekao definitivno stoji. Ali jasno da je ovo jednako bitno, ako ne i bitnije. Sve u svemu, njegov potencijal je netko poput Milana, Reala, Bayerna, Barcelone, ali je nažalost pomalo lijenog karaktera što je sam prizno.
He was the best in Dinamo and Hajduk times. He was very good at Portsmouth and first season of Tottenham(2009/10). But then he didn't play too much and lost some abilities. Then, there was neither good nor bad season with Dynamo Kiev. He was very good when he plays for QPR, 2013-14 season. But 2014-15 was not the best. Then he played less than past years, so many injuries... Ruined career by injuries.
Random Davy He's 31 years old. Mark Warburton (the manager of Rangers) is a big fan of Kranjcar from his days at Tottenham. He flew out to the USA and spoke with Kranjcar about a week ago. The player is still thinking about the move but apparently he has a movie star girlfriend out there. Who knows what will happen at this point but I hope he comes to Scotland.
It's a shame he couldn't reach his full potential. He was at Modric's level and deserved to play in a top team. Young people don't even know who this is...
@marko r You're actually right! As a youngster, he was quite a bit better than Modric
@marko r he is different player better dribbler and shooter than Modric but Modric better passer and organizer more athletic better on defense
@marko r you are correct. Eaven more. Without his dad he would not be eaven alive!

Yes.
In the 80s he would become one of the best ever. I love this kind of player, genious with a ball, skills, dribbles, shoot etc.
Niko bio si niko, a sad si neko i šta

Kranjčar, Modrić at the same time in the midfield of spurs with Ćorluka in the back.

He was just so classy, had some flair & his touches were exquisite.
