La Liga - Pennant joins Zaragoza

Eurosport - Fri, 10 Jul 11:25:00 2009

Real Zaragoza have completed the signing of Jermaine Pennant after his release by Liverpool.

FOOTBALL Liverpool Pennant - 0

The former Arsenal youngster passed a medical with the Spanish outfit and will join their bid for survival next season after being promoted back to the Primera Division.

The 26-year-old becomes Zaragoza's first signing of the summer and joins for nothing on a three-year deal.

Pennant told the club's website: "I wanted to come to Spain and I had offers from important teams in Europe but joined Real Zaragoza.

"I really want to get started and do well in the league."

Pennant spent time on loan at Portsmouth last season after being frozen out at Anfield.

The former England U21 winger impressed for Liverpool in the 2007 Champions League final defeat by Milan but found opportunities increasingly limited from then on.

  4. Good luck Pennant but like Kewell he didn't really­ cut it at Liverpool. We can't afford to give­ players a lot of time to blend in...

  7. Never understood why this lad wasnt given more­ opportunities to shine. He is a hard worker and quick­ as hell. Maybe no a gifted player that all managers­ dream of, but Pennant was an excellent prospect who was­ never given the right amount of time playing. I wonder­ if Benni is a little bit racist sometimes

  8. who are these people who say"good luck­ abroad"and "he's leaving his comfort zone­ so he can play"and "nice to see an english­ man going abroad".He's going to Spain for­ fooks sake,he can be there in less than three hours,and­ the place is full of English.I've had­ "regular" jobs in England that have taken­ longer to get to and when i did get there i've been­ surrounded by foreigners.

  10. Arsenal will finish 5th this year because Arsene wenger­ has convinced the board that his philosophies will­ bring trophies, wot is it they say about cheap labour?­ Stay wenger, i want your face to be rubbed in with­ every defeat.

  15. PENNANT IS AVERAGE, A BIG TIE CHARLIE WHO CHOSEN SPAIN­ DUE TO TAX REASONS JUST LIKE ALL OTHER TRAITORS WHO­ ONLY EVER CAME TO ENGLAND TO GET RICH. NOW THEY KNOW A­ 50% TAX IS COMING IN THEY FLEEING LIKE MERCENARIES THEY­ ARE..

    PENNANT WILL BE PLAYING IN THE 1ST DIVISION­ INSIDE 3 YEARS... HE IS SIMPLY "IN IT FOR THE­ MONEY"

  16. man city as usual next season get nothing all wiind and­ pi**b just like that other team in that Sh** hole of a­ city VIVE REAL MADRID

    From Ian, on Fri 10 Jul 9:41AM

  17. what i couldn't understand is, why rafa alway deal­ only with spanish teams
    he brough most of the players­ from there and he sell them to there too
    i'm glad­ for signing johnson but with rafa on the bench no hope­ of winning epl
    he is good in knock out compitetion but­ weak in league
    with the same players we have, if we­ have hidink or van gaal we would had won epl all the­ time

    From James, on Fri 10 Jul 9:20AM

  18. My God, what has got into you all. The man is a fool.­ Banged up, tagged, given a glorious chance at the Reds­ and he didn't even try and grab it. He is an idiot­ who thinks that football owes him a living, he will be­ a nearly man as long as he has got a hole in his @rse.­ Well rid of that parasite.
