Babel will be fine...if Liverpool get a decent manager who'll give talent a run rather than what he's doing now.
Selling Keane was of course stupid...and I hope Liverpool choke on it...they don't deserve to win the title. It's a club with no vision anymore..the owners are only thinking about selling and the manager can only complain about other managers, even when they are top of the league (FFS!).
WP GG and all that.
Stupid?... remains to be seen and if we aren't champions come may I wont be saying it's because we sold Keane. His impact was minimal.
I'm sure Rafa likes Babel (he wouldn't let him go when he asked and he'd played less than Keane at the time) I just dont think he realised how good Riera would be. Riera's had a good run in the side becuase he's more consistent... does that mean Rafa is a decent manager for letting him have a run? Honestly Boldie, would you start Babel on his games played so far over Riera? I doubt anyone with eyes would.
True Riera has been revelation this season...I have been surprised at just how well he's turning out to be. I still say to all the doubters that Babel will be fine...honest..he will.
And I think I was justified in saying it's stupid to let Keane go...especially now that Torres is hobbling again. Who's going to replace Torres now?And with Gerrard out as well it, again, goes to show that strenght in depth is vital when you want to win a league...Liverpool don't have any and, if they keep treating "fringe" players like they did Keane, they will never have any.
I have been very dissapointed in Rafa since his little "list" but slagging off an ex-player after he's left the club is not on...he's definitely cracking up IMO.
