I did mention Babel as a possibility when nominating my team. We do need some pace to stretch the Arse on the counter attack, and he's about the only one who can run fast in the entire team, Gerrard excluded.
I'd like to see Purple again (I saw his CC cameo at The Emirates), but thinking about how Chelsea and United beat them, part of their strategy was letting Arsenal play tippy-tappy bellend football, smashing into them on the counter-attack, then playing quick passes to pacy attackers breaking clear.
Obviously Masher can do the smashing bit, Gerrard's a great passer, but the pacy attacking bit is where maybe Babel can fit in.

Pace is great and all, but not on Ryan fucking Babel.
He's one of the worst players to ever play for us.
I will pay good money to never see him on again, the cowering cunt.
