Liverpool hunt Babel

Reds in babel Hunt- Agent

Ryan babel's agent has claimed Liverpool have made a bid for the Ajax winger.
Babel impressed as the Holland Under-21 side won the recent European Champonship and has been heavily link with a move to Arsenal.
However it now appears Liverpool have joined the race to sign the 20-year-old.
His agent Winnie Haatrecht told Sportweek Weekend: 'I can say nothing about transfer fees, but i can confirm that Liverpool have made a bid for Ryan."
"Ryan himself hasn't spoken with that club. Only when Ajax says that the clubs have an agreement can we speak, and phase two starts."
"But it's not far yet. We first have to wait to see if the clubs reach a deal or not."

K3: With the arrival of Fernando Torres, I hope Quaresma and Babel will join Liverpool. This trio for sure will make Liverpool a stronger squad next season.

P/s: We don’t want another spitty-Diouf here...:P

Liverpoolfc.tv reveals 10 things you never knew about Fernando Torres:

1. The 23-year-old spent his early years in football as a keeper: "I played in goal until one day I got a couple of teeth knocked out by the ball," he explains. "I decided then that my career between the sticks was finished. Great save, though!"

AC Milan 2-1 Liverpool

damn...milan won against liverpool 2-1...thanks to inzaghi's double...kuyt scores for the KOP..
it was a good game, superb football from both side. Liverpool hold the attacking throne but AC Milan defense were pretty tight. Nesta is everywhere in the box and Gattuso the tanker really stormed the midfield area. Liverpool early attacks were amazing but it was all wasted. If they managed to just nailed those opportunities, the end results might be different tonight.

I believe substituting Mascherano was a very big gamble and Benitez really paid the price. Sure, you need Crouch help already but Mascherano were doing a good job restricting Kaka’s move. Right after that subsitute, Kaka slip on the ball to Inzaghi and beat Reina for the second goal. The Italian side was really good at playing in the line of offside/onside. Dangerous!

Congrats to AC Milan for being the champion of UEFA Champions League 06/07! We all now can go back to our normal sleep schedule, eh?
