Roy: There are clubs that want him and who knows what could happen?

|

Liverpool manager Roy Hodgson stated yesterday that he will consider letting Ryan Babel leave before the end of the transfer window:

“There are clubs who want Ryan Babel and who knows what might happen in the next two days? I can’t make bold statements but if Ryan is here at the end of the transfer window then I’m looking to use him in that striking position. That is where he thinks he is best and there is no reason for me to doubt him. I don’t know enough about him to have a strong opinion one way but he has qualities you can use as a striker.”

It is believed that both Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham are interested in buying the Dutch forward.

    woy dnt understand why you dnt get turan dosent look like we gna get a quality striker so why not a quality winger!!!!!!!!arda arda turan turan ynwa

  • Simon says:

    Why on earth would he let him go? We are short enough on strikers already. Babel is a very skilled player. Give him one season up front to see how he turns out. If one of the strikers is to be farmed out it is David N’gog who will never be good enough for Liverpool.

    So who have you mind for the Left Hand Side then Roy?

  • daboy says:

    If Roy sells Babel and mind you i am no Babel fan Roy will likely not see the money, and the yanks will run off with a big wad of cash.
    Smarter to keep him or trade for another player.

  • smarts says:

    We need to keep Bable, why on earth did we not arrange a deal with Galatassary for Turan since we are letting Insua go there? How much are we getting for Plessis and ElZhar? Surely we could top up our offer for Toivenen or Van Wolfswinkle! Come on Roy! The clocks a ticking!!!!

    RH:LUCAS GOOO,,KEEP BABEL,,GET ARDA TURAN.

  • Mike Arms says:

    What alarms me in recent weeks is that Roy keeps saying I don’t know enough about this player or that player so I don’t have an opinion if they stay or go. Sammy Lee and others are at the club, are they not giving their opinions and filling in the blanks? It seems Roy is making a lot of hasty decisions and letting potential top players leave for nothing because he says he doesn’t know enough about them. How good was the young lad we’ve just give to Fulham? Why let players go who are unknown to him and keep players who he knows are crap like Lucas?

    you people said the same when we sold Buchtmann to fulham,..and guess what..he is now at Koln!!!the people working for the club know 1000things more than us..we all pretend to be managers of liverpool fc but dont know a thing about it.buchtmann was voted one of the ten greatest youngsters when he was at liverpool.then liverpool sold him and everyone said “Noooo,…he is a great youngster…etc,…”and now he is at Koln!he may still become a good player but not liverpool standard.the same might be for Lauri Dalla Vale who would better finalise his move now,cauz there are 3 more hours..Konchesky isnt a Liverpool player yet.i hope we buy him as he will be a great addittion to the squad.and if we use babel wisely,we dont need another striker.babel’s got the potential many little strikers in all europe have.his pace and shooting skills are top class.his finishing aint bad either and if Roy gives this guy a chance,it will be like we’ve just signed him from Ajax.start talking like you know everything.we can give our opinions,but not telling Roy what to do!he knows 10000things ahead of us

    It would be stupid of you Roy Hodgson if you are going to sell Babel to your main rivals in the league.. I tell ya

  • jay says:

    Can’t understand how Ngog is ahead of babel in the pecking order for our strikers. Babel is faster stronger and has a better shot I can’t understand hw he can come to liverpool with such a good rep and turn to a bad player overnight. He just needs some1 to show him they believe in him because u can’t doubt he is talented 1 season in his preferred postion roy that’s all I’m saying

  • LFCDIEHARD says:

    Everybody tend to shout we lack pace upfront or dnt have people who can beat defense on the wings with speed that guy has got plenty of got some skills but misfortune met him under rafa era so give him he’s proper role and see what happens to our attack!!!

  • Mario says:

    we need babel if roy just give him 30 min a game he will see that he is good rather he should sell lucas and ngog
