He will be a great player, if not for Arsenal then maybe for another club. He already is for Denmark ...

He's a great player for us and will be with us for many many years especially after his new deal.

I don't consider it contradicting because Lasana played a handful of games and then decided he was too good for the bench and used the press to get a transfer.

I think Ryan has gone about it wrong, but int he games I have seen him play in a red shirt he has not been as bad as some of the people I have seen starting ahead of him with regularity.

That really is exactly the same as Babel then. What's different? Lassana plays a few games, goes back to the bench, moans to the media to move. Babel plays a few games, goes back to the bench, moans to the media to move.

He's been slightly worse than Riera and much, much worse than Benayoun recently. Aurelio is also a better option.

Going back to Ajax would have been a boost to his confidence and he would have played regularly. His playing for Ajax is what garnered the attention of Arsenal, Liverpool, and Newcastle prior to his coming to England.

What reason would be need to play for a club similar to the level of Liverpool? Right now Liverpool aren't impressive so just about anyone would be an improvement to Liverpool. Liverpool is a big club, but when you aren't playing it doesn't matter who you play for.

Well I don't find his attitude terrible and I know he would have succeeded at Arsenal, but that doesn't really matter since he will continue to waste away on the pine for Liverpool.

Regardless of what you think of Liverpool now, when he was asking for a loan move we were in a title race, so we were impressive. The Ajax loan deal would give Babel false hope that he can play football. He'd play well in the dutch league then once he comes back he suddenly loses any ability he has to trap a ball and beat a man. That's not a confidence issue, his touch has always been woeful.

You clearly don't know Babel if you think his attitude is right. His head isn't in it, he's not focused, he doesn't work hard during games, he moans at team mates, he moans to the media. You know lalalala all about whether he'd succeed at Arsenal. Maybe Wenger pulled out for a reason?

I don't care what two Liverpool fans are saying. Most Liverpool fans don't like him and would be hard pressed to day anything positive about him.

I don't think that it's a co-incidence that most Liverpool fans don't rate him. He couldn't give a toss about the club, he's just picking up his wages for little effort, why would we like that?
