Pennant set to sign

[IcelandicFan]

I have to say I am happy about this. He will come good for us.

[Guest Jack Bauer]

However Birmingham City are believed to owe Liverpool between £1 and £2m from the fee they agreed when Emile Heskey left Anfield to join the Midlands club.

 

Hope that puts to rest the Heskey rumours

[Red_Rob]

Good deal. I'm still not keen on Kuyt, but what do I know?

[zimmie4444]

Happy with that. Good signing, and with Trabelsi looking like coming in too, we've finally got options down the right

[c00p]

I thought we lost out on that cash they owed us due to them been relegated ?????????????

[George Costanza]

Waste of money.

 

Pennant & Bellamy in the same team should be fun.

[Rushian]

We did.

[nitski]

Never thought he was good enough to play for us to be honest. But he is better than Cheyrou, Diao etc so I suppose the squad gets improved. Hope he proves me wrong of course.

[Benitez]

Pennant and Bellamy in one summer Whoda thunk!

 

But, Pennant is a very good young player, and would be a good signing at a reasonable fee I think, worth the risk!

 

Gotta say I'm happy at the thought of him and Ballamy, rather than paying £10 + mill for Alves, and maybe 8 or 9 mill for Defoe or Bent.

He and Bellamy have got their chance and have a lot to prove, lets hope they now rise to it.

[Guest Kev]

Both got pace, both got good control and both boyhood reds.

[Morgul]

I like him, and think that he's got the potential to be fantastic for us. If the choice is between Alves for something like £13m or Pennant for £3.5m I'd choose Pennant every time. His wages would probably only be like half of what Alves would have been as well.

 

Good deal.

[Guest Sabre]

Pennant is a great prospect. He's got the right attributes, works hard, good crosser, good engine, excellent cross. He'll be great for us.

[Maldini]

Delighted with this signing. Crouchy to get 20 goals next season.

I like Pennant, and i'm not averse to him signing - but we will regret not bringing in Alves.

 

He'll go somewhere else and become a superstar.

 

Mark my works.

maybe he will.

 

But we don't have an open cheque-book, so what can you do. The team still need more than just Alves now, and it's understandable they can't and won't commit the bulk of the money to him.

[hideNseek]

Not doing cartwheels over this one tbh, but I trust Rafa so fingers cossed that he'll be good.

[RP]

Both got pace, both got good control and both boyhood reds.

 

Will Rafa sign me? I've got 1 out of 3.

 

 

Mark my works.

 

 

You're still at school, aren't you?

[George Costanza]

You're still at school, aren't you?

 

I've got all three. My final ball's not to shoddy either. I'm waiting for the call.

Fair enough - good point.

 

Just disappointed.

 

Not with signing Pennant. I like him - he's an ace crosser and for all those wanted a real, old fashioned winger, he's our man.

 

But Alves would have really excited me. Would have been a sexy signing!

 

Expect him to go to Barca or Real Madrid at some stage and really kick on.

 

Will forever annoy me he won't do it at Anfield

No doubt, he's a great player, he's not worth what they're asking though.

[DonRafa]

Very happy with this, I think he'll be a big success for us

[windy city red]

out of curiosity, is aaron lennon faster than pennant? running with the ball i mean...

[Guest baboo]

Thanks for the update, do you mind if I ask if this is from a good source?
