Portsmouth boss Paul Hart insists the club have the creativity to cope without Niko Kranjcar.[LNB]Hart was disappointed to lose the Croatian international in a deadline-day move to Spurs, but believes his new recruits can fill the void.[LNB]"I think we have brought in players who are equally as creative as Niko," said Hart.[LNB]"If you say that he was our only creative player, I would disagree with that. We have brought in three of four players now who are extremely creative.[LNB]"Losing any quality player is hard, but Niko was in the last year of his contract. I spoke to him in the summer and he made it clear that he wasn't going to sign a new contract and he was going to see it through.[LNB]"When offers come in for a player in that position, it's difficult for anybody to refuse it. But Niko was excellent for me and is a great lad - I have no criticism of him whatsoever."
