Jamie O’Hara, who only recently signed a new contract with Spurs, has surprisingly come out and said he may want to make his loan move to Pompey permanent.
“I wanted to sign a new deal at Tottenham, but I also want to play football.”
“Being at Portsmouth is a learning curve and it’s a chance for me to show everyone what I can do.
“If I enjoy it down here and Tottenham bring in a few players during the January transfer window, maybe there will be an option to stay here.
“I’m looking forward to giving my best for the club and the manager, and you never know what will happen. If I do well, something might happen.
“I’ve come here to play and if I play and I’m enjoying my football, then why wouldn’t I want to stay?”
On the World Cup…
“Obviously, it’s a big ask to be pushing on for England. But once I have the confidence in my ability from playing week in, week out, hopefully someone will pick up on that.
“Hopefully, I can start pushing myself into that squad and it would be nice to get in – it would be a fantastic achievement. I’m going to get my head down here and work as hard as I can.”

Comments slightly out of context: actaully when he is taking about staying he specifically mentions the optional second half of the season. Even the ‘if Spurs buy a couple of players in Jan’ can be taken in this context.
‘Arry likes him,hence the contract extension, and I believe that his going to Pompey was a precondition of the Kranks deal – though I could be wrong, but I was a tad surprised as I know ‘Arry rates him and he adds defensive cover in midfield to close games down – I said “‘Arry is buttering them up” and lo and behold Kranks arrives :-D
