Benitez admits Pennant signing is a gamble
Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez has admitted that the signing of Jermaine Pennant is a gamble - but he also points out that every signing is.
We're happy to see the controversial character signed but like most fans we do feel we've been ripped off with his transfer fee.
However, if he proves to be a success, all of us will soon forget how much he cost and he could prove to be a bargain if he delivers the goods.
Talking about the capture, Rafa said: "It doesn't matter who you sign, you must wait and see if it's successful.
"Jermaine is a player we've liked for some time.
"He makes a lot of assists, is a good crosser and has a lot of pace. He's the kind of right winger we've been looking for.
"He also has the advantage of being used to the English style, which means he'll have no problem adjusting.
"We know it's similar to Craig Bellamy because this is Jermaine's last opportunity to show he is a good player at a really big club.
"When you sign a player that's been at a big club before but had problems, you know he will think more about the consequences of everything he does, and that's a positive thing.
"These players know more about the importance of doing the right things. It's a big motivation for them to here people say they're more mature, are different and have the quality to play for a top club.
"It's easier to sign a player who everyone knows is good and has never had any problems, but I believe when a player changes, shows he is more mature and proves to everyone he has the quality and the ability to end any problems, that makes him an even better player and person.
The boss added: "They understand what's expected when you sign for Liverpool, so we're sure there will be no problems." |
