Pennant off to Zaragoza

[Baldi]

Dont know ifd this has been mentioned but Sky are reporting this.....I guess the Madrid deal must have fell thru....

I think his contract expired on the 1st, good luck to the lad and thanks for the goal against the chavs !

Madrid deal fell through in January due to his wage demands!

The irony eh

[fowler9]

good luck to him, never a favourite but before that injury in 07/08 looked like becoming a good player but when he came back we changed formation, to his credit he did well in his few games this year too, wont be remembered very long but his performances every time we played Chelsea and in Athens were terrific

[Red Phoenix]

Yeah, good luck to him. It feels sucky that it didn't work out for him here and I don't know how the hell a move to Madrid fell through with wages, etc, but it'd be great to see him do well over there.

[Kevin D]

Credit to him and his advisors on managing to fool another team. Arsenal, Leeds,Liverpool, (almost) Madrid and now Zaragoza, they've certainly earned their pay and we'd do well to hire them, they'd be a massive upgrade on Parrys laughable negotation tactics.

[RedinSweden]

I think he will do quite well there.

[Rex Banner]

Ah Real Zaragoza it all makes sense now, people heard Real and thought it was Madrid.

[Jackie Moon]

Sales of San Miguel are going to go through the roof in Zaragoza

Best thing for him really, he'd get nowhere near their side in the new season.

I like Pennant's comment, he should really keep his mouth shut sometimes! Not a good way to adhere yourself to your new team's supporters.

But that isn't a wise thing to do anyway.

[Calum]

Don't think he had the right attitude! No sad loss, infact I would say that we wasted £6m and some salary on him.

What is it with Rafa, that he believes he can straighten out bad boys like Bellamy and Pennant? Given the chance, I half feel that he would have enjoyed the challenge of Lee Boyer and Robbie Savage!! :whistle:

Now I know why your in negative rep!

Rafa probably saw that those players you've mentioned are skilful but for one reason or another it didn't work out at their respective clubs and gave them a chance. Turns out their behaviour and level of professionalism was so intrenched there was no hope of Rafa changing it. Those players have screwed up at every big club they've gone to they've got no one to blame but themselves.

Since when was Bellamy a bad boy? He's just a golfer with strong opinions.

And no neck.

[hamstrung]

He hasn't the intelligence to make a success of himself abroad.

[Guest simon]

Good luck to him he'll be huge over there.

[silverlining]

Good luck to him he'll be huge over there.

 

 

Huge in what way?

[Markmywords]

Cheers then Jermaine, all the best.

 

You weren't a bad squad player in my opinion but it's a pity you're such a twat

[fowler9]

anyone find it strange we only had him on a 3 year contract? thought for that price it would have been a 4 year one then we could have sold him at a decent price last summer

[Woo]

Good luck to him, hope he does well.

[dirty_sanchez]

Huge in what way?

 

As in the disappointment way.

[El Rojo]

He's too much of an idiot to make any success of that move.

 

I wish he'd fucked off when we could have gotten a fee for him. At least we're not paying his wages any longer though.

 

A real shame we didn't have a few million extra to go for Alves or Simao at the time.

 

He was an expensive mistake, given that we didn't recoup anything for him.

 

I almost regret my JP LFC LeGEND 4eva tattoo.

It's fine, what we'll do is, sign Jermaine Beckford, and when he plays awesome, you can get the P on the tattoo easily changed to a B.

 

Problem solved.

Didn't we only sign Johnson on a 3 year deal too?
