KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Atletico Madrid want Pennant

Atletico Madrid have made an informal offer for Liverpool's Jermaine Pennant.

The news will be welcomed by Reds boss Rafa Benitez as Real Madrid are stalling on concluding a deal for the player as their manager doesn't want him adding to his squad.

Several Premier League clubs are interested in Pennant - notably Wigan - who could be on the verge of losing Liverpool target Antonio Valencia to Real Madrid.

Rafa Benitez was keen on the winger but he doesn't have the £16million to fund a move and that fee would be even higher if we were to enter into a bidding war with the Spanish giants.

Surely it would help us if we could off load Pennant to wigan then we may have our foot in the door for signing Valencia.

just get rid doesn't matter who takes him so long as his wages are freed up

My thoughts exactly trepie it would be a big help all ways round just to get rid.

I think he has a place in the squad until a replacement can be found

He never gets a game though so his place in the squad cant be that valuable.

He's rarely even on the bench, so clearly surplus to requirements...

I do think he has a place in the squad even if only as cover for the first team

he's not good enough to cover the first team ..... he's barely good enough as cover for the reserves ffs

Yeh he is [oops] isn't he lol dunno what I was thinking
