KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Babel..... This sum's him up completely!

he is a good player but he refused a new contract ..... better than babel at any rate

merida has the potential to be a very good player...just like fabregas he started his career at barcelona before he joined arsenal...

i would love it if he joined us but if his contract runs out in the summer it would be smarter to offer him a deal and get him for free insted of swaping him for babel...birmingham sems ready to pay 9-10m for him and i don't think wenger would pay that kind of money.

The problem is that Babel refuses to play for Birmingham. We can only sell him to someone he wants to go to.

Don't think anyone will be offering anywhere near £9m for Babel after his performance vs Everton.

Given a perfect opportunity to show his worth and again, did not look the least bit interested.

Should be fit as a butcher's dog after not playing and he didn't break a sweat !!

Lazy tw@t !!!

Yep heard of Merida seen him play and score a goal hes pretty good . If memory serves me right hes from the Barcelona youth system.

I saw him run for the first 2 minutes he was on the pitch, then nothing ! .

Playing up front on his own he should have been holding the ball up, which he didn't.

Should have been making runs in the channels and didn't.

Should be closing everything down and he didn't.

He's garbage

i remember two things babel did. got caught offside, and fell over.

Thats two more than he normally does. Things are looking up!

he is a confidence player and needs games to get confidence. Unfortunately, he will never get a string of games under rafa and therefore needs to be sold. He will be a success elsewhere. not sure why he didnt go to Birmingham. He would have done well there.

I like Riera on the left. I think he is very attack minded and he always threatens and creates chances.

I have to agree with Toneloc. First 2 mins he tried then after that did not look interested just ambling around.

Reminded me of Stan Collymore at his worst.

He's does not have it in him get rid !!
