Benitez happy with 'risky' business
Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez accepts signing Jermaine Pennant is a "risk" and that the 6.7million winger has been given his last chance at a big club.
Benitez is fully aware he has been questioned over the wisdom of signing of a player who served a prison spell last season and has had a string of problems off the field. But the Spaniard - who has now spent more 13million this summer on two of football's problem players - likened the situation to his recent capture of striker Craig Bellamy.
"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," said Benitez. "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."
