Pennant in..Who's next?

rafa said he hoped to have 2 in by the weekend.

i dont think the 2nd will be kuyt, i wonder will he go for klose or one of the italian based players

or...will it be alves...

[Red_Al_77]

Nice spot Fagan. Personally I think Rafa will hit us with a surprise purchase.

[Red_Polo]

I love it

If we snag ourselves Kuyt or another striker then it's been a really brilliant transfer window for us. If we get Alves but no striker then that's great too. Both.....? Well... :jizz:

Could Trezeguet still be on the cards?

[kurtangle01]

hopefully kuyt but as you say he seems unlikely to be signed because of the price. if you look at the fact that we struggled to pay the

[univofchicago]

Thanks Fagan.

Looks like its Pennant then.

Not excited but relieved that this RW issue is out of the way.

Don't think Alves will sign for us now. Pity. Thought he was a real prospect.

[anfieldanfield]

Stole my thunder Fagan, I posted this in the other Pennant thread....

"Latest news filtering through is that....

PENNANT IS IN LIVERPOOL NOW AND IS ON THE BRINK OF SIGNING FOR 6.2M.

Yikes, I'm not sure about this one at all, smacks of transfer desperation as far as I'm concerned. I seriously hope Jermaine Pennant realises Rafa's given him a lifeline with this one, he doesn't really deserve this oportunity.

No second chances with us Pennant. None. At. All."

I doubt it will be Kuyt to be honest, purely because I dont think we've got 12m + to be playing around with.

Maybe Klose, or Trez on loan, or maybe even that young greek fella....

[FaganK]

i think could would only cost 8-9M and alves about 10-11M

so were talking 20M really.

having said that we never pay all upfront, always in installments.

i think he may well go for alves and a player on loan lik trez or ibrahimovic

or just 1 striker being bought, either kuyt, trez or klose

[kurtangle01]

P.S.

i'm not sold on pennant. he'll have to win me over but i'm not going to complain about it. he has undoubted quality and is used to the prem i just hope his personal troubles are well and truely behind him.

if he does well then i'd expect him to get in to the england squad ahead of SWP and lennon.

[Joey Jones]

6.2m is far from being a bargain buy, hope he takes his chance and turns out to be a good player for us.

It seems as if Rafa has his work cut out trying to keep tabs on Bellamy and Pennant!! I can't see them being chosen to be room mates!

technically this isnt a pennant thread!

you know how much i hate duplicate threads

this is meant ot be about who's coming in next.

but re pennant, i think its a great signing, a bit pricey, but how many times have we all moaned about the club not paying over the odds for players when everyone else does.

we cant butter our bread on both sides.

if pennant is a hit then its a bargain.

now back to the topic..whos next?!!

Who's next? It's Dirk Kuyt for me.......

[Red_Polo]

that's very true mate.

kuyt would be nice. failing that i have no idea. zlatan, klose, ronaldo, raul?:confused:

It's almost impossible to say at the moment isn't it? Kuyt would have to be the favourite, but like Al said it could well be a surprise signing. Can't see the wood for the trees on this one.

[kurtangle01]

i've just had a thought if pennant plays most games then who out of stevie xabi and momo would we leave out? all 3 need to play and rafa has adopted a 4-4-2 in recent times.

I think we've had this debate on KT before mate, but I think there's more chance of LFC signing me.

For one, we've already got Crouchie (similar mould) who Rafa seems to love and has long term plans for. Two, he'd cost far far too much for us and, thirdly (not that this carries any weight), I think he's shite. :D

ibrahimovic - great talent but not a rafa player - totally disruptive, self-absorbed nutter.

I'd say we might be thinking of a loan deal for Trez. We are clearly in for another striker so it's either him or white sox.

A loan deal would be great from our point of view but I don't see why Juve would allow it. He'd be over almost 32 by the time they got back up to Serie A, and in the final year of his contract too. Plus they've taken a heavy hit losing sponsorships etc, and with such a small matchgoing fan base they'll need to raise as much as they can from selling players. As much as I'd love it I really don't fancy our chances of getting him on loan....unless you know otherwise of course :D

[Shaggy]

yeah i agree, but if we do get a striker in on a loan deal, then rafa still has a fair bit of cash to play with so i wouldnt rule out alves

Totally agreed. It could be that Rafa's plan is to get a striker in on loan (i.e. Trezeguet) and leave money left over for more bids for Alves - hence the alleged plans to get rid of Kromkamp. If the Dutchman does leave, then we simply have to sign another right back...leaving the door open for Alves - who would also provide another right wing option.

Then we'd have Pennant/Alves competing for the right wing slot, with Stevie also an option. Two right backs Finnan/Alves, thus pretty much completing the "two top players for every position" jigsaw.

All supposition of course but it's feasible and, if I may say so, pant-wettingly exciting. :D

Lazio have been reinstated to Serie A with an 11 point deduction.

Fiorentina reinstated to Serie A with a 19 point deduction. Ground closed for 2 matches. 120,000 Euros fine.

Juventus stay in Serie B with a 17 point deduction. For the first time in their history they will play Serie B football. Ground closed for 3 matches. 120,000 Euros fine.

AC Milan stay in Serie A with an 8 point deduction. They have been handed a chance to participate in the Champions League but they will need to play in the preliminary rounds. :rant:

i'm really optimistic about Pennant, reckon we've got a rough diamond that needs to put his dodgy past behind him and fulfil his potential... oh and he's a Liverpool fan... bonus.

As for the other player... striker. kuyt please, although wouldn't be dissapointed with Trez.

and if theres anything left over then Yes; Alves please rafa, we'll need a right sided player for competition if Kromkamp moves on.

on a serious note, I dont mind Pennant (as long as he leaves his mobile at home), and for 6m its not too bad imo. He has quality and is a diamond in the rough at the moment but with top quality coaches, some dicipline and a right diet plan he could be superb for us for many years to come.
I wouldnt mind Treza on a loan deal, even for a season with the option of buying him next year, at least this way we can save the 10m we have left and either buy him next year if he turns out ok or ship him back off to Juve and put that 10m towards someone like Torres or Villa.

I'd rather have Alves too but I have always rated Pennant highly, Whenever he played for the U21s he appeared to be lightning quick and i remember being very jealous of Arsenal when he made his premiership debut and scored a Hat-Trick. We've got a great player if Rafa can control him and i'm sure he will knuckle down at the club he supports.

FWIW i'd rather have Klose than Kuyt even though they are both good buys.
