By the looks of what you comment, he seems more a winger role wing man than a midfielder role wing man.
If he's expensive, not world class, and he wouldn't improve that much what Pennant provides as a winger, I wouldn't consider him a priority.
For me, Pennant is one of the best in England. And that means that he'd be also good enough for the position anywhere in the world. If he hasn't made it to the national squad, he should be on the fringe line at the least. In any case, his trajectory seems to be ascending in this club and I'd give him some continuity.
What we need IMHO is somebody who can play as a midfielder on the left, and the right. Pennant can do the winger role, we need someone like Arteta, who can play in the right wing (Allowing Gerrard to play his natural position once and for all) with a not so "stuck to the lime line" winger role. Putting early crosses, and giving consistency to the wing.
Who would you see able to play the right midfielder role (not winger role) in the Premiership ? I don't know well the league and I'd appreciate your comments. (Benayoun doesn't count, the ex Racing player is not good enough IMHO)
