Off the Market: Niko Kranjcar
Portsmouth’s Niko Kranjcar has tragically gone off market, Kickettes.
He’s just gotten engaged to his long term girlfriend, Simona Fistric, who has an economics degree and moved to the UK to be with him two years ago. The pair have been together for four years.
By the way, Simona’s 29 – six years older than Niko. This means she got in there when Niko was just 19. You know the integral Wagabee rule about getting in there while they’re young and/or hanging on for dear life, yes? Simona, we applaud you for seeing into the future with such focused and dedicated vision.
Niko is notoriously media shy and it’s unlikely there will be much information leaked about the upcoming nuptials. Reports have it set for the end of the year.
Congratulations!

I agree – she DOES look like his mother… Ah well, congratulations to both of them
:O *cries uncontrollably* i guess i will have to find someone else to partner sergio hmmmm choices choices choices,, but anyway congrats even though im distraught
Shes a bit of a cradle snatcher isn't she…getting in there when he was just 19 and she was 25! Oh well…they look like a really cute couple and i wish them the best! Congrats Niko! But its a shame he is off the market
The song he plays on the Vibraphone is “Flowing”
I was going to say something like NOO.. he is so cute!! she is so ugly! Elen Rives again blabla until I saw that picture.. he doesn´t look cute there! so i have to pass this one
OH my story published-oh first time this has happened (first time I actually did this-beginners like I suppose).I saw them both and they look lot better than in pictures.Sorry Simona-I will still drool over your soon to be man(but she must know by now that every woman between 7-77 has naughty thoughts about Niko).If Ron only found a girl like her(yeah right).
Girls, girls. I'm Niko's #1 fan but I'm really happy for them. She's been a great support to him all this time. She's an intelligent, normal looking woman and I'm very proud of Niko as he certainly could've gotten himself another one of those empty plastic model/stripper girls if he wanted to. But I like the idea that he looks for other qualities in women. Leaves hope for the rest of us naturally sexy, smart and charming women.

Nikohow can you be soo stupid to marry that girl.you areso pratty and she is soo ugly
Oh I can feel the Pompey love right here on kickette today!!!
Congrats Niko- gutted, but hey- at least she’s a homegrown albeit older lady and not a Danielle Lyold/Charoltee/Aisleyene/permatanned wag wannabee!!!
Aaaah, congrats Niko. They look very sweet. Who am I going to lust over now?!
What a bummer <img src="http://www.kickette.com/images/smileys/mad.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="mad" style="border:0;" /> She looks nice, of course I’m not sure what I as expecting. Oh well Niko is a nice boy and that lovely woman was smart getting in there early enough. Oh I need to get a move on if I intend to snag a baller soon <img src="http://www.kickette.com/images/smileys/smirk.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="smirk" style="border:0;" />
She looks like his mother. Or at least, a much older sister. Seriously, he could do better. Fresh Legs Blog
I don't see what's the problem with Niko (who is kind of cute) marrying a woman who is a couple of years older than him. Hell, such relationships exist, even in Hollywood (Halle Berry rings any bells?). And I think she looks fine, a plain Jane in my book. Nothing particularly bad about here that screams "ugly".
I'm not upset he is off the market, at all, but major props to Simona! Love your economics degree and going for the younger guy, not to mention that he would normally be aesthetically out of your league. Kudos to you!
My hubby is younger than me. I say, 'you go, Simona!'. Both are adorable. All together now, "AWW!" I just want to pinch their cheeks. lose that girl blog
I applaud any woman in her condition. clap clap
Congratulations!! That's about as much enthusiasm as I can muster. I really must get my plan of snatching up Pato while he's a baby into action.
NO!!! Oh, woe is me… Ugh, whatever and good luck to them both and I wish them every happiness

That’s really sad – I didn’t realise how cute he is until he got engaged – always the way… Except for the hair though, that’s feral… And it’s a bit off that they got together when he was 19 and she was 25 – Niko, you could do better!

Aw, she’s really cute! Love the hair. And he looks better with short hair. But they seem sweet together, congratulations to them!
There is NO such thing as OFF THE MARKET until they are hitched. Fiance does NOT equal wife. Take that Elen Rives! Ok, having said that, I agree with TFO that even though she is only a few years older, she looks like his mother or way older sister, not his lover. Please. He could do better. There are loads of lovely Kickette girls here that adore him. Rethink this thing Niko.
I’m going to agree with both LoveLamps and TFO – she does look like an older sister more than a girlfriend. But I guess it’s KIND of sweet that they’ve been together that long without any prior mention of engagement. That I’m aware of.
