Ivan Klasnic

Croatcelt, nice website mate you were right with the boy you mentioned Nikola Kalinic sounds the business.
You have a bit of an english slant on your site mate (your not there come and support us etc) your needing to give us Scottish and our Irish mates a mention too, youll probably win more of us over. Although you did that by humping the English home and away.

 

Again I Think That This Player Is One Of The Many Players That Are EPL Bound, There Has Been Many Teems Interesed In Him For A Good While An Players Nowadays Are More Likely To Go South As The Pay Is Much Betta ?! Would Be An Awesome Signin Though Haha !

 

Not worth the gamble would be massive wages and signin on fee . Plus giving his Medical history not worth the risk.

 

Cheers mate, glad you like it. I heard the Scots were all getting behind the Poles. That true?

 

celtic fans maybe, a lot of scots have a chip on their shoulder with the polish

 

theres a St. Pauli-Celtic festival every year in Germany. many of their supporters go to our away games on the continent. if you go to Holland in preseason, i'm sure you'll bump into some.

the players of St. Pauli must be aware of this link imo.

 

What are our chances of getting him? I think it would be a great move despite what a couple others have said!

Btw, I'm ignorant, and don't know what our link with St Pauli is..... what is it?

 

FC St. Pauli enjoy certain fame for the left leaning character of its supporters: most of the team's fans regard themselves as anti-racist, anti-fascist and anti-sexist, and this has on occasion brought them into conflict with neo-Nazis and hooligans at away games. The organization has taken up an outspoken stance against racism, fascism, sexism, and homophobia and has embodied this position in its constitution. Team supporters traditionally participate in demonstrations in the Hamburg district of St. Pauli, including those over squatting or low-income housing such as the Hafenstraße and Bambule. The centre of fan activity is the Fanladen St. Pauli.
The club prides itself on having have the largest number of female fans in all of German football. In 2002, advertisements for the men's magazine Maxim were removed from the team's stadium in response to fan protests over the sexist depictions of women in the ads.
St. Pauli is also a worldwide symbol for punk and related subcultures.[1] The unofficial Totenkopf logo and the team's brown and white football jerseys have often been worn by international artists such as Asian Dub Foundation. Turbonegro recorded a special version of their song "I Got Erection" with re-worked German lyrics for St Pauli. Bad Religion played a charity match against St. Pauli's third team in 2000.[2] KMFDM frontman and Hamburg native Sascha Konietzko is a recognizable St. Pauli fan, even at one point placing a huge picture of a fist smashing a swastika on his band's main page with the caption St. Pauli Fans gegen Rechts! (St. Pauli fans against Nazis) underneath it. One of the most notable supporters and sponsors is Andrew Eldritch, lead singer of band The Sisters of Mercy. On his latest tour, Sisters Bite The Silver Bullet in 2006, Eldritch wore the famous Totenkopf shirt. German musicians: Fettes Brot, Die Ärzte singer/drummer/songwriter Bela B., Kettcar, Tomte and many other bands, most of them underground.
Home fixtures at the Millerntor average greater attendance than any other team in the German third division, and often exceed turnouts for second division teams. St. Pauli can also boast more season ticket holders than many Bundesliga teams. One study recently estimated that the team has roughly 11 million fans throughout Germany[3], making the club one of the widely recognized German sides. There are about 200 registered fan clubs, many of them outside Germany.
St. Pauli are also known for their close links with many other foreign clubs and enjoy a particularly close friendship with Celtic with St. Pauli fans attending Celtic games on the continent when Celtic play UEFA competitions. St Pauli flags and scarves are frequently seen on display at Celtic Park and every year Celtic supporters arrive in Hamburg for the annual St Pauli - Celtic Festival.
In Israel, St. Pauli is identified with Hapoel Tel Aviv F.C., a first division team that also see itself as anti-racist and anti-Fascist. In the Tel Aviv derby that has take place at February 17, 2008, Hapoel Tel-Aviv fans waved a large St. Pauli flag in the stadium.

 

I'm behind the Poles all the way!

 

i was told that the link/ friendship between the saint pauli and celtic started when germany held the olympic games a lot of the irish stayed in hamburg where saint pauli are based and the irish got on with the saint pauli fans and with a majority of irish being celtic supporters this began the friendship between the two clubs

 

Cheers for that Ninja!

 

Back to the original topic....

Klasnic; decent striker but please do not bring him here to Celtic he will flop. Don't want another lanky pile of *. Seen this guy a few times, especially since I followed German football. Not good enough for Celtic i'm afraid and he is getting on a bit now. Id like to see better players than this.

 

"Lanky pile of *." Wow.

I don't think Ivan has been described as lanky since he was maybe 19 years old.

To each his own, but of the few posts I've seen of yours I'll take your footballing "knowledge"/advice with a HUGE grain of salt.

 

Watched a bit of this lad tonight, looks a decent player to me, gets involved and scored a great goal against the holy one.

He'll do for me if tonights showing is anything to go by.

 

we were rumoured to be looking at him too when the story about rangers broke

 

hopefully.... klasnic is a proven world class striker getting back to form after his illness...ill take him in a minute...

and with them signing miller and velicka they are outta the running for strikers now unless they off load cousin....

 

Klasnić would win a first XI spot hands down!

But I'm afraid neither we, nor the mob would get him...he's gonna end up in some stronger league, surely.
Not that I like it!

 

not so sure he was asked about scotland and said he wouldnt be averse to coming here as he felt our football suited his game

 

That's true, but first concrete offer came couple of days ago from torino. 2 million € per season.
It wold be great though, if he would come here.

 

Sometimes wonder if celtic can financially compete with teams like that. But they should be able to especially if he is free fee?

Good player tho. Good in the air and on the ground. If its possible get him 2 paradise.
