Comments on: 3 reasons why Babel for Liverpool is a good move at 13.5m http://soccerlens.com/3-reasons-why-babel-for-liverpool-is-a-good-move-at-10m/2312/ Football News Thu, 24 May 2012 11:24:02 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Dakor http://soccerlens.com/3-reasons-why-babel-for-liverpool-is-a-good-move-at-10m/2312/#comment-53310 Dakor Fri, 13 Jul 2007 08:38:26 +0000 http://soccerlens.com/3-reasons-why-babel-for-liverpool-is-a-good-move-at-10m/2312/#comment-53310 Fact is, VDV and Zlaten went too cheap. Babel and Sneijder are the last remaining growth gems. Sneijder has almost reached his peak where Babel's growth curve seems to increase. It's a risk for both Liverpool aswell as Babel. Only the future will tell if he was worth the money. I do think tho that if Benitez lets him play the way Foppe de Haan let him play in the U21 Babel will provide Torres with alot of ammo. As a single man scoring threat Babel isnt quiet there yet. Fact is, VDV and Zlaten went too cheap. Babel and Sneijder are the last remaining growth gems.

That's for sure. One, two, three signings won't make a difference. Well, this may not necessarily be true, but what is certain is that Babel won't be the saviour. And what's wrong with Pennant? He was the best player in the CL final. That's not good enough? For people that had to endure the likes of Cheyrou, Diao and such, you've got some fucking high standards.

My point isn't that Babel won't come good, but that Liverpool are getting fleeced at the rumored transfer fee. I think Babel has great potential, but certainly has not demonstrated as much so far as Zlatan did (he was an established international when Juve took him) or as much as Van Der Vaart did (established international as well) at the time they were sold. Now I understand that both Zlatan and VDV probably wanted out a bit more than Babel, but still the money being spent on Babel when only a few million pounds more gets you Quaresma seems staggering. But I suppose the price for top English teams is almost always double the price for everyone else.

Could we please have some punctuation. However, I have to say that your observation that Liverpool are 'stealing' from Arsenal is amusing. He is an Ajax player. If anyone is getting done here it is he dutch league again. Liverpool have an amazing network of scouts in place now; have you seen how many young kids have come in during the last two seasons? And another thing, if Arsenal lose out to Liverpool with Babel it is their own fault for moving too slowly and allowing the Thierry Henry deal to take their eye of the ball. Arse-anal Fan.

Babel might not be worldclass, but he ís unpredictable. I think Rafa is also looking to add more flair players, one of the things they lacked causing them to lose the champ league final last year.
