not a striker, I know, but I would love to see this happen:

Niko Kranjcar 'eyed by Fulham after Shaun Wright-Phillips move collapses'
Fulham manager Mark Hughes is rumoured to have switched his attention to signing Niko Kranjcar from north London rivals Tottenham after attempts to bring in Shaun Wright-Phillips fell through.

Hughes was keen to bring in Wright-Phillips on loan but Manchester City's refusal to pay a wage-subsidy has led to Hughes backing out of the deal.
'We've enquired, that is well documented, but it seems that it is becoming more and more difficult and more things are being put in our way to stop us being able to conclude that,' Hughes said.
Kranjcar's future at White Hart Lane has been left to deteriorate and with Steven Pienaar joining the squad, the 26-year-old is now even further down manager Harry Redknapp's pecking order.
Bundesliga side Werder Bremen are understood to have expressed interest in the Croatian, but a move across town to Craven Cottage has also been suggested.
Hughes said any new player would have to add a new dimension to the squad and Kranjcar's ability to fashion something from nothing could be his ticket back to winning Premier League game time.

'We will look and see what is out there but in fairness we are getting close to the end of the window and anything we get in now we have to be certain it will make a real difference to us,' he said.
'We have a good group here but if there are other players who have different skill sets who might enhance it we would look at it.'

Kranjcar joined Spurs from Portsmouth in 2009 and has made 29 appearances netting six goals.
Both Paul Konchesky and Kranjcar will be prime targets for Hughes after he secured Chelsea attacker Gael Kakuta on-loan until the end of the season.

YES PLEASE!

I've been saying we should sign him since the window opened, it's clear he's on the outer at spurs, he's played for lower level clubs, and he lives in London. I reckon he'd be brilliant.

'...has led to Hughes backing out of the deal'

Good. Absolute joke wanting the wages he's after when he's hardly played all season and is a very hot and cold player anyway.

Not interested in Kranjcar, we've got enough in midfield, we need a striker and possibly a left back.

[MisfitKid]

No thanks.
Striker please.  :dead horse:

[manxman]

this would be class signing - only 26, clearly top quality, can ban a few in and create lots - whats not to want ? :047:

but then again i'd rather a striker..

[cebu]

Kranjcar in, Riise out would be OK. I agree with all the others who said "as long as we still get a striker".

[King_Crud]

use Kranjcar on the left and make Dempsey into a proper striker?

[SmithyFFC]

Too slow, we need some pace, no thanks  :046:

[LRCN]

we have loads of similar players already, as much as i like him we dont need him.

[Lighthouse]

Very classy and comfortable on the ball. But where does he fit in? However he would be a great addition and our squad would only be improved if Gera were to leave or hopefully Riise.

He fits in in a five man midfield!

Curb your enthousiasm, AFChequeBook... the oldies on this site are critical, if not grumpy  :005:

on topic: I don't know enough of the player to make a judgement

The problem with all these wonderful players we are linked with is that once they join a "big" club their wages get yoinked up and they then will be happier to sit on a big juicy contract until they can walk on a Bosman and demand another juicy contract justified by no transfer fee and their last deal.
Can only see this happening as a subsidises loan to be honest

Good replacement for Murphy IMO, should go after him in the summer.

I think Niko Kranjcar would be an outstanding addition to the squad, however, I don't think we should use him as a winger.  I think he has the tools to be that attack minded central midfielder who can dribble right down the throat of the opposing defense and cause fits.  The type of player I feel Fulham has been missing for as long as I've been following.   I've actually been an admirer of his ever since he scored that cracker against us while on pompey.  Not sure about his wages, though.

I think you  make the key point of his attacking qualities and agree with the wages, that would be the issue!

Welcome aboard by the way!

[OldBrownShoe]

On behalf of the oldies on this site Very yes please!

Striker too PLEASE.

Furthermore, leading german press agency dpa reports that Fulham are interested in Paolo Guerrero (loan).

I really hope he doesn't sign - an awful human being. :035:

Got a great goals record though... If anyone can settle a player it's Sparky, I personally wouldn't mind seeing him here.
