Why Scousers Shouldn't Be Given Money

Proving the old adage that a fool and his money are soon parted, Liverpool have splashed £11.5 million on Ajax's Ryan Babel. This is the third in a string of brilliant signings based on Football Manager 2007 and the results of fairly poor U21 Euro. The Dutch, champions for two on the trot, have already sent Maceo Righters, who scored more in the tournament of two weeks than for the mighty NAC Breda all season, to Blackburn and Daniel de Ridder, who ran wild against Serbia and ran Celta Vigo right to the Segunda, to Birmingham. Expect Tottenham or Chelsea to foolishly bid on Roysten Drenthe, a man who was replaced in his natural position at Feyenoord last campaign, soon.

This is approximately £2 million for each of Babel's 5 goals last season in 27 appearances. Without the brilliant Wesley Sneijder to supply him, we can expect his strike total to implode for a team where creativity is considered an antiquated frivolity. Most speculate that Babel will take the helm of left mid in hopes of widening the team's world famous 6 meters of midfield. However, considering that Rafa the Hut made his assessment based on the aforementioned tournament, he forgot to note that Babel spent more time in the center than John Kerry during his presidential bid. Expect similar results.
