Bye Bye Babble...

Ho hum, Madam Houllier is not pleased with Herr Babbels' discipline having picked up two red cards for something or other and so she is showing him the door. Another good player on his way.

after standing by him through his illness! chaps a dope, who needs an attacking international full back nowadays when you have Carragher to stand in. This sucks.

Ronan|Raven

It is a damn shame to see him go he was a very good player for us before his illness which he was fortunate to make a comeback from. He was great at getting forward and putting in a cross something which Carragher cant do.

jonno

He never really made an impact after the injury and after being subbed against Villa in the Worthington Cup he wasn't happy and showed it. That attitude show was part of the decision too.

We will have an international wingback in Finnan in a few weeks

Babbel's a great free signing for any premiership club. Im sure there will be plenty of interest in him!

what about Carr who is also avail for cheap?????

It looks like the Finnan deal is signed and sealed for Liverpool. Thats a great addition to their squad, now they need a good creative attacking force, esp on the left. But why get rid of a really good defender who can play at right back or centre back? They should get rid of their other misfits like Heskey, Traore, Diouf, etc.

The one's that are deffo leaving according to GH on the official site are Berger, Diomede, Heggem and Xavier !!! Shock. We'll get about £0.5m out of them if we're lucky. :rolleyes:
If we make ~6mil out of Heskey and ~2.5mil for Smicer then we should be able to make a decent bid for Duff, get Finnan in the bag and have some cash left for Cissé and/or Boumsong.

I never was good at maths though ww)

because he never regained full fittness after his illness and his form has been poor in the reserves. Yes he was a good defender, hes not now.

reading this changed my mind on babbel link

Matters

Although he was never the same player after his illness, I don't think the schoolteacher should have said what he did, lets just hope Finnian signs soon, or wouldn't it be nice if Chris McGrath made the break through from the youths team.

uberwolf

to my knowledge chris mc grath is going to lilleshalle(FA Centre, prob misspelt) this summer. they have a youth training camp there. this normally means that a youth player is going to be released and gives them an oppurtunity to impress scouts...

which is strange cos i heard he was good

I personally think that Babbel's Anfield Exit happened when he was taken off in the Worthington Cup against Aston Villa and he wasnt best pleased and stormed off. That was the end of Markus Babbel because Gerald Houllier will not stand for that carry on.
I think Biscan and Berger will go and I also believe Emile Heskey will go but Houllier should not touch the Liverpool lads(Carragher, Owen, Gerrard, Murphy) Troare has to go, how Houllier cant see that he just cant cut it I dont know!
