Niko Kranjcar (Portsmouth)

We definitely need another "classy" forward as for me Ngog and Voronin are non starters. I think Dirk scored 14 from the right (left middle and centre)And Xabi and Masch only scored 3 from midfield so if Riera doesn't start to chip in from the left we definitely need another goal scorer. Having said that despite not having our best two players for quite a bit of the season we did score 77 in the league had the best Goal Diff and lost only 2 so how the F**k did we not win the league. I digress we need cover and something different for the lesser teams that come to Anfield sort that out and the title is as good as ours.

Why wouldnt they sell now and get some cash for him? They have debt, which is why they've let go of Glen and Crouchy, so why let him go on a free for only one more season when they could get upwards of 10m for him?

Odd.

He's their last hope at staying up...

Talk of Guttierez going to Pompey, maybe because someone is leaving...

interesting

Would be a great signing and in my eyes is one that could be needed if we don't fix up look sharp

I agree with you there, Niko would be a steal a real bargain

Niko Kranjcar set to leave Portsmouth

Portsmouth are ready to sell Niko Kranjcar if a club will meet their £8 million asking price.

The 25-year-old Croatia international is in the last year of his contract and has already stated his desire to leave Fratton Park once it expires.

Manager Paul Hart is keen to use the money from Kranjcar’s sale to bolster his depleted squad.

Tottenham, Everton and Stoke have all made tentative enquiries but there has been no firm offers tabled.

There was better news for Pompey fans last night though as the take-over of the club fronted by chief executive Peter Storrie neared completion.

Storrie was forced to take decisive action after the proposed purchase of the club by Sulaiman Al Fahim collapsed when he couldn’t raise the necessary funds to take control.

Storrie will be re-appointed chairman once the deal goes through and contrary to claim Al Fahim will not be one of the investors involved.

Storrie said last night: “The investor is from the middle-east but it’s an individual from a family and not a consortium.

“We have attempted to do this deal in record time and hope to make an official announcement next week.

“My main priority was to safeguard the future of the club and ensure we returned to a sound financial footing.

“I have barely slept for the last week. I have been involved with lawyers and consultants around the clock.

“But I am confident the hard work from all sides will bring about very positive news for the club.”

I'd love him here.

Fantastic player...perfect for us...left winger, small price...Year ago the price was 17 million  €...it will be a great signing

Good player and at 8m, thats a steal at the prices these days.

Could play either left or central so be a great signing for us.

I concur

I agree. It's a steal at 8 mil for the inflated prices these days.

Puts in pretty decent crosses as well.

I've been thinking this for ages. He's an extremely gifted player, and greatly underrated IMO. I'm surprised Man City havent tried buying as they've tried to buy everyone else.

Yes Please!! I think that Kranjcar is class and no disrespect to Pompey I think that he would be even better with better players around him.

we dont have 8 million

Depresing isn't it

IMO, i think we'll go for him on a pre-contract in January.

we dont have 8 million

how do you know ?

He would be a good signing, he can play on the right or left of midfield or even through the middle. I think he'd do a good job for us. He is good at setpieces and is a good crosser. Watching him against City today he looked like he was a class above any other Portsmouth player but then I suppose that is not hard.

would love to see him with a Liverbird upon his chest, but doubt we will seee any signings certainly for now

Might be in our price range next summer when he is free

Now that Pompey have got new owners .It seems highly unlikely he will join us

Yeh but they're terrible Pompey at the moment so I think he would join Liverpool ahead of a struggling Pompey team
