KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Babel/Barry Swap deal ?!

It's been reported in the press that Ryan Babel is wanted by Martin O'neill. I hope we can recoup the 11m we paid for him, or anything close to that amount. another way of getting the most for him is to do a swap deal with Barry coming to Liverpool.

I know that swap deals are very rare, but it's still an option. Especially if Barry rejects the new deal.

Maybe 'football genius' Martin O Neill could then win more than 2 out of the last 16 games of the season if he had Babel.

In all honesty I would have thought that a pacey left sided player who can also play up front would be about the only area O'Neill wouldn't need to strengthen after his abysmal signings last year.

Babel didn't have a good season and loses the ball too easily.
Barry will offer us more so would be worth the deal if it happens

fair trade - but maybe Rafa could throw in a book on "How To Tap Up And Influence Players" to help sweeten the deal

It would be good but I'd say the only way it would happen is if we gave them some money + Babel.

There's now way they'd take a striaght swap!!! There would have to be cash involved but at least it would be could save us a little cash to spend on someone else.

Hopefully MON only watched when he was playing good.

Everyone on this forum can stop the bloody ball better than Babel.

It's not a fair trade. Babel still has 10 years plus in the game. Barry has maybe 5 years. I would rather try and sell babel for as much as we could possibly get.

Sell him to Spain.

really?
