Kranjcar signs for Dynamo Kiev

[aws_young]

Wishing him well. Surprised he has left the Premier League. Definitely stiill has the ability.

Niko Kranjcar has completed his transfer to Dynamo Kiev, the Ukrainian club have announced.

The 27-year-old midfielder revealed on Wednesday that Tottenham had reached an agreement with Dynamo over a deal, and his new employers confirmed the transfer in a statement on their website.

"After successful negotiations, Niko Kranjcar has signed a four-year contract with Dynamo Kiev," the statement read.
Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp signed Kranjcar from Portsmouth in 2009 and he made a big impact in his first campaign, scoring five goals and providing many assists from the left flank in 32 appearances.

But the emergence of Gareth Bale meant the Croatian dropped down the pecking order the following season and only made nine Barclays Premier League starts in 2011/12, although his campaign was curtailed by a knee injury.

Bye bye Niko. Thanks for the memories

 

[RickyVilla]

Au revoir. The first of many Croatians to leave this summer.

 

[Mr Pink]

There is already a thread in the transfer rumors section...maybe we should merge them?

 

[DuDe]

Good for him.

 

[mpickard2087]

6-7m, good deal for us.

 

[spursgirls]

All the best Niko. He was a great player to have in the squad.

Laters Niko! did a good job when first arrived but we've moved on as a club, now not the standard we need.

Good luck.

Good luck.

when he first arrived we finished with 70 points. since then we've finished on 62 and 69, so how can he not be good enough now?

 

[SugarRay]

Wish him all the best. Will always get a great reception at the Lane.

Just a shame he seemed to pick up a knock whenever those that were in front of him in the pecking order were unavailable.

Classy sign off too, talking about leaving with a heavy heart and that he loved it at Spurs. Always nice to hear when it seems everyone else wants out ( media nonsense I know )

Think about where he plays and the players we have.

 

[Blake Griffin]

yeah? they're the same then as they are now.

 

[markiespurs]

I guess the female attendance is going to go down at the lane next season with the departure of Niko

The woman who sits behind me at the lane is going to be right pissed, first Pav, now Niko

 

[batigol]

6-7m, good deal for us.

Is this confirmed? Euros or pounds? Definitely adds to our transfer kitty so looking forward to some incoming ones now that we are moving people on.

Good luck.

Many on here having been saying that exact same thing about the manager - ya know, the guy you're defending.

Oh, the irony!

 

[mpickard2087]

On the Spurs website now. Bye bye Niko!

 

[kishman]

I'm just glad he hasn't gone to another Premiership club.

Good luck Niko!

Good player. Good technique. Scored some beauties for us.

Sad to see him go, but too good to be a squad player with VDV centrally and Lennon out wide ahead of him.

Should do well at Dynamo Kiev.
