Why do folk think that Pennant is after one big last payday with Hibs? Everyone knows we have a wage structure, he will as well, if he plays well enough to earn himself a deal then that's great. If not we can forget all about it.

Champions League Finalist who played for Liverpool and Arsenal? Would bring great experience to our squad in the absence of Holt. Would imagine, like Holt, he will still have that footballing brain to counter his age appropriately.

Players who look after themselves should be able to play until they're in the late 30's. 34 is nothing, why are people getting hung up on his age? All good squads need a mixture of youth and experience.

But the club are clearly taking a very close work and if they are happy then fair enough.

I don't know Jermaine or the ins and outs of his past.
People grow up at different rates and learn from different mistakes though. Maybe at 34 he has realised whilst he has made a lot of money from the game he hasn't always utilised the opportunities he has had and maybe he just wants to keep playing out of an enjoyment and love of the game. Maybe his motivation is to have an enjoyable last couple of years at a level he feels he can contribute. Equally he could just fancy what he sees as easy cash for a season, a few nights out in Edinburgh, an easy ride and then swan off into retirement.
The truth is nobody knows how motivated he is or what he has to offer based on either what he has done before or the 55 minutes we saw of him last night. Neil Lennon has obviously see enough in training to suggest he is worth an extended look at and I'm sure he'll make the best decision for Hibs.PM Awards General Poster of The Year 2015, 2016, 2017. Probably robbed in other years

He's played against some of the best players in the world at the highest level and still a far better player than most of those playing in scotlands top flight...i don't care what baggage he has as long as he can do a job for hibs

Oh and for the record I'm not saying I don't want him just stating a preference.

That's just nonsense. Every player, regardless of age will be judged on what they can bring now to the team.
If there's a cheaper, younger version in the club or available then teams aren't generally daft enough to not take advantage of that and do it as cheaply as possible.

I think that is it though, a 34 year old that has looked after himself "Aye", a 34 year old that has not looked after himself eh "Nah"

Pennant
Lennon said he wanted to have a look at him, gave him 55 minuets last night and said he will have another look on Sunday and maybe the Berwick game too... to me that sounds like Lennon think Pennant has something to offer by giving him three games... the fact he scored last night and hit the post, sounds like he off to a good start....

Would he become our most expensive player ever? I think it might be Taiwo just now at around £5m if you count before Hibs but Fletcher if counting after.
Notts C to Arsenal - £2M
Arse to Birm - £3M
Birm to L'pool - £6.7M
Zaragoza to Stoke - £1.725M with options
Probably more for earlier loans too but that alone totals £13.425 Million.

I thought he did ok. Was expecting him to look unfit but he certainly didn't. Good free kick and made an intelligent run for his goal which paid off. I think the ovation he got when he went off showed the majority of fans were impressed.
