Pompey Land Hreidarsson

Iceland's Hermann Hreidarsson
Portsmouth have signed former Charlton defender Hermann Hreidarsson on a two-year deal.

The 32-year-old Iceland defender exercised a clause in his contract which allowed him to leave The Valley on a free transfer if the Addicks were relegated.

He has moved to Fratton Park two days after Pompey secured the services of former Manchester City defender Sylvain Distin on a three-year deal.

Manager Harry Redknapp told the club's official website www.pompeyfc.co.uk: "I've always liked Hermann. I tried to buy him before and I'm delighted he's now here at Portsmouth.

"He's got great experience at Premier League level, he's big, quick, very good in the air and a good competitor. He can play at left-back and in the centre of defence so he gives us plenty of options."
Last year it was Campbell and Traore. This year Distin and Hreidarsson. I think this is probably a good move for Portsmouth. 'arry's got depth in defense now, though the squad isn't any younger.  As for the Hermannator, the blog has always been a fan. Here's hoping the fifth time is a charm and he can avoid relegation.

No word yet on the status of the Muntari deal. But the day is still young.
