Keep him for following reasons
1) Would Rafa actually get the £8/£9m to spend on other players?
2) Babel has a poor attitude, but has occassionally proven he can be a decent player and change games - one of the few players we have that can do that from our substandard bench dwellers.
3) It's a World Cup year, which might mean that Babel puts in more effort in order to get picked for Holland, which would increase his value should Rafa wish to sell him in summer, and where there will be more oppportunities to sign more players/not pay over the odds in the January anti-sales.
and u think he will get a decent run of games for that ???
dropping kuyt?forget it.
when no one was sure that we will be getting the monnies from summer sales then we can also forget it this time...
keeping babel also wont help because this cancer of bloody [oops]$ just wont leave soon.
loan him out wud be if its not assured that we will get the money to spend again.let that [oops] have regular first team football and prove his critics wrong.keeping him here just will add more negativity to the squad and the bloody press.already we have shambolic morale within the team.
everything is and will keep on haunting us...
just one being the optimism and confidence starting this season..because we finished the last season well...see
