Pennant strikes La Liga deal

 

Former Arsenal, Leeds United and current Liverpool right winger Jermaine Pennant has clinched a Bosman transfer to Spanish club Valencia this summer according to reports in the Spanish press.

 

Pennant, currently on loan at Portsmouth was keen to stay at Anfield, but sources suggest Rafa Benitez has been told to cut the wage budget at Anfield, if he wants to sign his transfer targets this summer.

 

The wideman was linked with a shock move to Real Madrid in the January transfer window but the deal fell through after Pennant decided he wanted to fight for his place at Anfield.

 

The reports will come as blow to Pompey fans after Pennant admitted yeaterday that a move to the South Coast was a possibility. He said:

 

"It's always going to be an option. I've enjoyed my time there. I've had a very hard season, but next season we'll see what happens."

[Tom R]

He'll do really well in Spain, where he'l get that little bit more time on the ball.

 

i reckon he'll be a top player in their side.

Good luck to him.

[Guest simon]

I wouldn't go that far, but he'll be one of Valencia's better ones, that's for sure.

[zigackly]

Mental.

 

Cheap ...

[Guest RafaIsRafa]

Im sure the Valencia supporters cant wait to get a Portsmouth reserve, but when he bangs in all the goals they'll be happy!

[Josef Svejk]

He's not very good, and he's a bit of a wally. I don't see why he should do especially well in Spain. But we shall see...

[col06]

He will be one of the leagues top players.

:D

[House of Dirk]

when Rafa was there he wanted a table and got a lamp. Not sure what Valencia wanted but they now have a lemon. Would be enough for Silva to think 'fuck this, Im out of here', so it might be a roundabout way of getting him.

[ToxtethTerror]

This is what he needs. He also had an offer from AC Milan and Newcastle. Anything that gets him away from East London will do him good. He isn't good enough for us but then I don't think we had a RW better than him either. Rafa wanted rid so everyones happy. Good luck JP.

He will be one of the leagues top players.

 

He will not, wherever he goes he will still get his period every time he gets close to the box.

[Guest simon]

Any else think this deal could be used for some Valencia player.

[zigackly]

Any else think this deal could be used for some Valencia player.

 

No.

[Guest RafaIsRafa]

Any else think this deal could be used for some Valencia player.

 

No because this deal is nothing to do with Liverpool.

[Woo]

Any else think this deal could be used for some Valencia player.

 

No, because Pennant's contract runs out in the summer, so we have no say in where he goes.
