CLASS DESCRIPTION OF BABEL IN THE GUARDIAN:
The (rumour)Mill has always liked rampaging Liverpool impact meanderer Ryan Babel. There's something appealing about his smooth, round, kindly face, and the way he seems at all times not so much confused as fundamentally, genetically baffled, a hulking, gliding, jinking, charging, slightly not quite sure maybe head back this way again, stop start again, rampage towards the corner flag, look scared, fall over, mass of contradictions – like a young Marlon Brando in The Wild One, but with a hugely and pointlessly powerful pair of thighs instead of a motorbike and a pair of black gloves instead of a baggy sideways cap.
