I think it is a sound bet though as I think if Vardy leaves one of Kante or Mahrez will depart also. And as you said, being in the Champions League will take it's toll on the rest of the squad.

We_are_the_Hearts Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 So they now have Barton, Krancjar, Rossiter, Halliday and Holt for central midfield? Can't see Jason getting many starts.

Zibi Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Kranjcar was a class act at Spurs, though his career has taken a nose dive since then. Having said that, I'm more worried about this signing than I was with Barton. He's not only younger but I think having an out and out attacking midfielder makes them a different proposition to Barton who by the sounds of it is going to be deployed in a role similar to Kitchen.

It all comes down to whether he wants regular game time as much as he wanted at Hearts, or whether he is happy to be the Sevco version of Scott Allan. It will be interesting to see how it pans out. As Nookie Bear said, Kranjcar isn't going to be cheap and isn't coming here to bench warm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprised he ended up in the US at still a young age. Think he is injured just now though so it may be a gamble but if it pays off he will be a very good signing.

Mr Rabbit Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 He's only 31, good signing sadly. He may only be 31 but he hasn't looked interested now for the last couple of years. I think fitness and motivation will be the main thing, if he can be bothered he'll do well but think this is just another pay day for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he is anything like the player he was at Spurs then he will sadly be an outstanding signing. Though as you said, it is very strange he ended up in America at a young age. Dado Prso is Croatian and has questioned the signing, sighting he's not sure if he will be up to the physical demands of the SPL though also admitted he hasn't really followed his career recently.

Billy King certainly seemed happy at being a Sevco impact sub, but not at Hearts. That agent all the young players seem to have just stirs shit up. I can imagine Levein has rightly told him to bolt and he is in the huff and using Holt and King to spite Levein. He will no doubt be on the phone to Sevco constantly as he knows they are the only ones stupid enough to bow to his mental wage demands for his average clients.

I'd imagine the money might buy Holt a nice cushion for the bench. I must say I wouldn't expect him to walk away from whatever he's on. Hope I'm wrong though, he could do well for a decent Championship or bottom-eight Prem side, and get a decent run of games out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope I'm wrong though, he could do well for a decent Championship or bottom-eight Prem side, and get a decent run of games out of it. He signed a long term deal recently so wouldn't surprise me if he sits on it and gets loaned out to a host of clubs over the next 5 seasons. We all know one club who love a loan deal, however I doubt they would do any business with them after the Cup Final. As annoying as it is, the Blue Bigots will continue to sign players like Kranjcar, who will all be ahead of Holt in the pecking order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Internet Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Surprised Rangers aren't going for Greer if they think Hill is worth a punt. There's definitely no harm in signing street-wise experienced players like that when you come back up to the premiership, plus they've got in the likes of Rossiter and WIndass in who are young players with a lot of promise. Barton is and always has been better than Cowie but his wages and previous clubs clearly reflect that. Weird comparison to make really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
