Babel to continue as a left winger!

This is what Benitez said today, at the official website in an interview:

Ryan Babel has been impressing recently, are you considering to play him up-front with Torres?

He prefers to play as a striker but we have four very good strikers. Ryan is Dutch and like Bergkamp and Van Persie he will need one or two years to settle down. He will need time and we have time to support him. In the future he could be a striker, but at the moment we need him to play on the left side.

Er… four good strikers? The last time I counted it was only Torres. Maybe you can count Crouch but the guy hasn’t been given enough time on the field. Kuyt works like a horse, plays too deep thus he doesn’t put the ball in the net. Voronin, impressed in the pre season but withered away like a baby.

Good strikers? Well, that would be Tevez, Rooney, Saha (if he’s not injured), Van Persie (if he’s fit), Adebayor, Drogba, Anelka, Martins… to name a few.

Another note, DIC might completely take over Liverpool by the end of the week. Still a rumour??

DIC to buy-out Liverpool?

BBC reports that DIC are planning to buy out Liverpool for a cool £500 million. Well the current owners are running tight.. as they borrowed money to finance the take over of Liverpool and also to finance players. They are currently trying to get a loan approved for a cool £350. That’s a hell of alot of money… I could buy a new Beemer with that… er… no maybe 100 new Beemers!!

Whether Gillett and Hicks will give up their shares is another thing all together.

But I just came across this article, kinda worrying if it was true. Even if DIC gets hold of Liverpool, they might sack Benitez and all Mr Parry himself. Rumours??

Anyways, there’s a thread on BBC website itself discussing this debate whether DIC takeover would be beneficial for the club.
