It is down to the players, if they want to stay somewhere then they will, all they have to do is NOT sign on the dotted line. Voronin has done it to us last season. We could have sold him but he didn't want to go, so he said NO.
Player power is getting bigger and bigger at football clubs, and in this case it may well be on our side, because the yanks can't force sales, especially when our best players such as Gerrard and Torres want to stay
Babel hasn't been sold due to Rafa's decision, he was told no money from January sales would be invested in players until Summer, so Rafa called off the Babel sale. Good decision if you ask me
Marko I watched the words come out of Rafa's mouth that they had accepted Birminghams offer but Babel rejected the move.
