Pennant possibly could be in one or two frames of mind .. possibly I repeat:
1) Looking for a decent sized club where he can do the minimum on a short contract to boost his bank balance (rumour has it he's a BIG spender, like leaving a Porsche in a French car park and forgetting all about it .. supposedly)
or 2) Knowing he is in the last chance saloon and is prepared to give it a right good go for a good club who will treat him well if he gets stuck in and will bring 'lots to the party'
He's decent player on his day and on that day would be a good signing for us provided the wages were within reasonable bounds and he was in the latter state of mind
Remember him doing well at the end of the season for Wigan, scored a few free kicks I seem to remember. Would be fairly pleased if he signed.
Signed for them at the end of February and scored 3 goals in 13 games. Turned down a new contract with them. He could be decent back up for us, but i don't see him in our first XI.

“After I left Stoke last January, I quickly realised that it wasn’t my football ability that was in question but my character." To me, the fact that he is willing to accept this suggests that he is on the right track. The fact that he seemed to do okay at Wigan last season as well means I think he's worth a punt. We lack natural wide players.
according to the 'Mirror Poll' .. 2 out of 3 voters would not want him at their club .. no indication if those who expressed a preference were supporters of Arsenal, Accrington Stanley or any other club

Or whether they were discussing football clubs, fishing clubs, bridge clubs, niteclubs...
Don't be jealous mate. Do you think she will hang around Pennant when he's picking up £50 a week playing for some non-league team?
Anyway back on thread. No we don't want Pennant. There's a certain type of player we should be going after eg a young Kinsella or a good old pro like Mendonca. Proper Charlton. Somehow I don't think JP comes into that mould.
No doubt he has, or at least had, the talent to be a real threat at our level.
But on what planet do people think that the multi-millionaire Jermaine Pennant, who's been living the top-level footballer lifestyle for as long as he has, is ever going to have the hunger or desire to put in any sort of consistent performance week in week out. Be serious.

In terms of dedication and commitment to hard work Pennant makes Marcus Bent look like Sir Steven Redgrave.

His wife isn't too shabby though.
