Who can argue with Jermaine pennant
Some sports news outlets saying that we can sign a pre-contract agreement with him and get him on a free in the summer.It was a clerical error, so I expect it to happen in the summer at roughly the same agreement as was already made.
Unless either side starts to be awkward about it, in which case all future dealings would be jeopardised - which I don't see as being helpful to either.
Re Diaz.
Has klopp ever gushed over a new signing like this before?
You are left with the abiding impression though - why do Liverpool always leave everything until the last second on Jan transfer day? Are they on some sort of retainer from Jim White to try and make the show more exciting?
so two ex players constitute a link to a transfer now?
Nothing got to do with his rap sheet?


Oh ffs... note the player in question and who I tagged![]()

Its like your suggesting Jermaine pennant isn’t an angel and his ringing endorsement of a player isn’t ideal?
On a side note, has pennant got rid of his ankle tag yet

I don't know how contracts work for 19 year olds who are out of contract but can the above be a possible option, does anyone know?
Technically in England you can only sign a pre-contract with out of contract player in the final month so can’t do it now.
However, foreign clubs can speak to him now, and get something signed now. And we could speak to mbappe and get him signed if we wanted.

And we would still have to pay a fee to Fulham for his development. Either we agree a fee or it's set by a Tribunal, like with Elliot. European clubs wouldn't pay the fee.Technically in England you can only sign a pre-contract with out of contract player in the final month so can’t do it now.

Fairly certain he'll leave this summer when his contract runs out.You must log in or register to see media
Oh yeah. Blimey that feels like ages ago.And Ings
The last minute deal that wasn't, overshadowed the very good signing that we did make. I'm very happy with Diaz, hope he settles in well and am excited to watch him in action in a red shirt.

Although you wouldn't think so, judging by the comments of some fans - we have made steady progress towards the future in recent years with a few mostly well-judged transfers of established players and the introduction of promising young talent.It was absolutely a necessary signing for long term health of club.
