Kranjcar would be a very average player for Juventus, not anywhere near Pavel in terms of ability.

another football proffesor on forums

Hard to admit and to accept but I must say this: Kranjcar invented the game of football comparing to Nedved....but has 1 flaw....he's a lazy scumbag and even today he doesn't like to run....

In ranieri's system with no creativity....yes,Nedved is superior player. In a system with a playmaker on the pitch,Kranjcar is far superior....

And let's get back on topic....

What I did see about rakitic this season in Bundesliga and CL impressed me. Now I see that all hardworking clubs(Juve,L'pool,Inter...) want him.....and I took a look at his game and I realized why. He's a box2box all running creative player,one of best set piece takers,good technician WITH a good shot.....and teams like those I mentioned cannot afford to have a lazy scumbag on the pitch. You gottqa admit that there aren't much players with those abilities on this world :)

Rakitic is fast and actually very smart with the ball and have pretty good shots at the goal, what i like about him is that he could make something out of nothing. his weaknesses is that during the match he sometimes goes missing but comes back and he have alittle weak body which is the only downside. the guy will be huge trust me
:tup:

Niko is my favorit player but it doesn't mean that i don't know thing or two about Rakitic. He is Cesc like player extremly intelegent on the ball but bout footed with better shot and cross corner and freekicks. i was watching last game yesterday and he played very well had an assist

Niko might me your favorite player but be realistic, the lad will NEVER be a great player at a top club.

This guy looks like he's got talent...I wouldn't mind seeing him in a Juventus shirt, that's for certain. And as far as I'm concerned, Juventus should always have a Croatian player in the squad, especially someone as talented as Rakitic.
