// A bit of a hack but it works// The article snippet is wrapped onto a second line, even when #article-sub is emptyif( $("div#article-sub").children().length == 0 ) {$("div#article-sub").remove();} Ivan Klasnic is refusing to give too much thought to his chances of earning a permanent deal at Bolton.[LNB] The Croatian striker joined the Trotters on a season-long loan deal from Nantes over the summer.[LNB]He has quickly adapted to the rigours of English football and grabbed his first goal for his new employers in Bolton's 3-2 victory over Everton on Sunday.[LNB]It is still too early to tell whether Gary Megson will attempt to sign him on a full-time basis at the end of the season, but Klasnic has vowed to give his all during his time at the Reebok Stadium - however long that may be.[LNB]"I don't know if I will stay," he told Sportske Novosti.[LNB]"For the moment I am focused on Bolton and I will be giving everything for this club.[LNB]"Then I will make a decision on Nantes. Remember I still have a two-year deal in France."[LNB]PhysicalKlasnic, who underwent a kidney transplant after suffering health problems during his days at Werder Bremen, feels he has adjusted to life in the Premier League following a few initial shocks.[LNB]"I like to play in the Premier League, everything is great," he said.[LNB]"It is a very tough league. I got some major kicks in my first few games. Against Everton I saw stars when one of their players struck me with an elbow in the face."[LNB]Understandably, Klasnic is delighted to have opened his Bolton goal account and he hopes to have endeared himself to the club's supporters during his short time at the club.[LNB]"Everything is great, but the first goal doesn't change too much," he added.[LNB]"Even before that I knew that I'm part of a great club in which I feel great support from the coaching staff, the players and the fans.[LNB]"But then scoring goals is the best possible way to pay back this support. This will, of course, bring you the highest possible status at a club and everybody will be happy."[LNB]
