Fair to say I'm not that updated on Kenwyne, he looked sharp a couple a Seasons ago, but seems to have disappeared somehow from the limelight. So if we are to use Babel in a swap deal here's what should be done instead.
Offer him to Arsenal, I bet Wenger would love him there and probably turn him into a great player, and let us take Nik Bendtner of their books.
He can play everywhere along the frontline (wide, central and in the hole) and he'll score you a lot of goals too. Is a big, strong lad who's winning 9 out of 10 headers, can hold up play as well as well as hitting a good cross and create chances. Another ability of his, is his talent for leaving a man stranded. Something we miss dearly almost everywhere on the pitch, especially when we're without Torres and Gerrard. (Maxi, should he arrive, will give us more quality in that department mind).
He's not Bolt pacy I know, but he's no Kuyt either. He's got some pace to burn but it's not his main attribute.
The fact that's he's only just turning 22 will certainly not harm his potential to become a star-player. For us would be loverly.
*I know a lot of posters despise him (personality-wise mostly I reckon) but I still think he'd be a quality signing for us (or any other topclub for that matter). It'll probably never happen as Wenger seems to rate him a lot but should they go for someone older to lead their line we may have a chance offering Babel as leverage.
