If anyone is still interested!

If you read the relevant posts a bit more carefully you'll see that the point I was answering was that Babel was "very good indeed" in that first season, which he wasn't even by your generous estimate. He could equally well have been picked on the right of the three or up front, where he'd have preferred to play anyway, if he'd been that impressive.

Babel showed enough in his first season (and he was clearly improving towards the end) to get more of a chance in his second. Riera was bought and Babel just couldn't get a look in. It disrupts a players progress and it's been stop start ever since. As already said though, he's not taken his chances when they have been presented to him so you can only show so much sympathy. The gamble we took on him didn't pay off, but hopefully we'll be able to get most of our money back...

He wouldnt go to Brum when they offered, and the helicopter-whoring attempt was also a failure.

We're not likely to get anything for him.

So there you have it! Total nutcase

I don't want to see him ever wearing the Liverpool shirt again.

He made the choice in moving to United - our biggest rivals historically and honours-wise - and for that, I can never forgive him.

I don't give a fuck if it was a good move for him or whatever ppl want to say in defending him signing for United.

He joined the enemy, and no player with any ounce of respect for our club would do that.

That's my stance anyway. Like it or not.

I still remember the many good things he did for us, but I will never forgive him for signing for Utd. I regard him as a traitor and I reserve the right to hold that opinion

I was narked by those interviews he gave when he joined the Mancs about being at a big club "like Chelsea or Arsenal". That was unnecessary, more like a rejected lovesick teenager than anything else, and lost him whatever shreds of sympathy I might otherwise have been tempted to show.
