Kranjcar: I am not stupid, I know Tottenham axe will still fall

Tottenham midfielder Niko Kranjcar isn't getting carried away with his winner against Bolton Wanderers.

While the plaudits come his way, Kranjcar still expects the first team axe.

"There was a lot of frustration behind that goal," said Kranjcar. "It's been the hardest season for me. I'm not happy just to get paid my money, not play and just train. I've spoken to Harry about it and I think he understood me.

"I don't think I got the opportunity I was waiting for in January. My wife is pregnant and I wanted to stay with her. I wasn't desperate to leave. If the situation doesn't change then we will see in the summer. But I'd be a fool to say that because I scored against Bolton that I deserve to play now."
