Hermann Hreidarsson will sign on a free transfer from Pompey this week.

Done deal.

Hreiðarsson has been relegated from the Premier League five times, a record he holds jointly with Nathan Blake.

He'll feel at home here then.

would be better with bloody hermann munster :facepalm:

Woz01 · Jan 14, 2012

Not a bad defender to be fair but do we really need defenders?

@richh87 · Jan 14, 2012

37 years old?! Hope he's still up to it

shmmeee · Jan 14, 2012

Yes. We finished with effectively four right backs on the pitch today and our left side is where the goal came from.

Hussey is unfit and a kid. We need a left back almost as much as we need a target man.

Hermann Hreidarsson is poised to complete a move to Coventry this weekend.

The News can reveal the 37-year-old fans’ favourite is set to clinch a permanent switch to the Championship strugglers for what is likely to be a free transfer.

Hreidarsson is out of contract at the end of the season and is not part of Michael Appleton’s plans.

Once completed, the deal will allow Pompey to bring in a new face to bolster their squad.

The Blues have been told by the Football League that they must let a player leave before anyone can be signed this month.

Hreidarsson has become a bit hit with the Fratton faithful since joining Pompey from Charlton in 2007.

But he has been out of the first-team picture this season despite the club having the smallest squad in the Football League.

37!?!?

SkyBlueDickie · Jan 14, 2012

Just when you think we couldn't lose any more credibility...

Covstu · Jan 14, 2012

we are doomed!!!!!

dlozza · Jan 14, 2012

What is the point of signing him?! Please do not be true!

Nonleagueherewecome · Jan 14, 2012

He's virtually retired...desperate times! The market of players that we can compete for is obviously miniscule. Guess we know how much of the Lukas fee AT gets to spend now? A big fat zilch!

It's absolutely true.

And it's now appearing online for those who were asking for a source.

craigus12 · Jan 14, 2012

so he's our FB. i bet he's gonna be a brilliant over lapping Left back

CUS Wyken · Jan 14, 2012

Jesus Christ... Glad to see we're building for the future.

The CableGuy · Jan 14, 2012

We're 7 points from safety and staring League 1 in the face. Let's get rid of our top goalscorer despite being the lowest goalscorers in the league, the day before we 'play well' away from home and get beat yet again. We'll do a deal for a replacement goalscorer whose track record suggests can't score goals and we'll bring him in after today's game, while completing a deal for a 37 year old left-back who has plenty of relegation experience and is probably slower than most of our snail-paced squad.

Seriously, you couldn't make this shit up!

Sub · Jan 14, 2012

is it april fools or something ???:facepalm::facepalm::facepalm::facepalm:

ccfcway · Jan 14, 2012

there is experienced, and there is Hermann !

Woz01 · Jan 14, 2012

The team lacks a bit of experience so i can see why AT wants to bring him in but a striker is also a must!

dlozza · Jan 14, 2012

Its baffling! Whoevers behind this idea is a tool

ccfcway · Jan 14, 2012

so, to confirm, a team in the same league as us, but with a smaller squad than us (i didnt think this was possible), wants to get rid of him

hmm

Sub · Jan 14, 2012

time to solve all CCFC problems

always the answer for a few hours atleast

samccov1987 · Jan 14, 2012

What worries me is which defender we're letting go to bring him in? McPake hopefully - or more likely Cranie or Keogh who we can get a transfer fee for. Any idea how long he's signing on for? Knowing Sisu it will be a 2 1/2 year deal with 18 months of it being spent injured.

I hate our club

ccfcway · Jan 14, 2012

wonder if this will be the Mcpake replacement

Bless, James McPake, he nearly completed a whole game today !

Team didn't lack any experience today. Average age was 25.

Brighton Sky Blue · Jan 14, 2012

He's a) experienced and b) a proper left back, which are two things that neither Hussey or Wood have going for them. Provided the transfer budget is zero and the wage expenditure will be tight, what else did people honestly expect?

How can you say Wood not experienced? He was captain of Wednesday before us. How is a 37 year old gonna help us. Shows how bad it is when a team like Pompey letting go.

I meant that neither of them are both out and out full backs and experienced. I'm hardly saying he'll be a revolution, but he does have those two factors in his favour which neither of the current players we're relying on do.

He means he's not a left-back.

Marty · Jan 14, 2012

He was a decent player in his day, probably to late in his career now to be of any use other then a stop gap, wait until I see him before I judge.

Edit: why are we wasting money when we are already relegated??

But isn't HH a centre back by trade?

Pretty sure he made his name as a full back at Charlton no?

Yes he played at left back but didn't he also play centre half lot of the time too. Especially at Ipswich and pompey.

AlexJohnson93 · Jan 14, 2012

Nothing says progress like a 37 year-old Icelandic on a free transfer.

craigus12 · Jan 14, 2012

we've probably signed him on a 5 yr contract
