Would this move really cause any fans to break down in tears…I think not!

Jermaine Pennant leaves his hotel in central London

The Rumour

Jermaine Pennant is agonising over a dramatic switch across Stanley Park to join Liverpool’s arch-rivals Everton.

The winger’s Anfield contract runs out on July 1, making him availabe on a free transfer.

Goodison Park boss David Moyes is ready to snap him up but Pennant, 26, who was a £6.7million Liverpool signing in the summer of 2006, is concerned about the Kop fans’ reaction to such a controversial move.

A pal of the star admitted: “Jermaine wouldn’t want to do anything to upset the Liverpool fans who have always been good to him.”

The Analysis

Maybe I am misjudging the mood of Liverpool supporters but surely they won’t give a damn where Jermaine Pennant goes? Am I Wrong?

Clearly having a player run out his contract and therefore resulting in the club losing any financial gain they could make from his sale is a little irritating but given the player in question I hardly think the club would have made too much from such a sale anyway.

As for him moving across Stanley Park to join David Moyes’ at Everton, well I would say good luck to them as the former Arsenal man has been something of a headache at Anfield but could yet resurrect his career after it’s major three year stutter!

The Likelihood

Pennant to Everton: I think Moyes will decide against such a move due to the astronomical wages Jermaine is after!
