You don't get if you don't ask. There is a difference between being realistic and selling the club short, personally I think you're doing the latter. I have my doubts about Babel choosing us over clubs with the lure of European football, but for God's sake it's silly season, lets all get our hopes up as Bluenoses for once. You never know, he may be content to wait a few years for European football as long as he's getting regular Premier League football and can see the club's potential. Be careful how strongly you argue your point - it sounds like you don't want him to join just so you can say "I told you so" on here. |

Exactly **thumbup Babel could play either wing or up front. Gardener could play RM/RB as well as CM. These two players would give us options, i doubt Babel would be willing to sit in the bench so he would be a starter but one who could be moved about to change things about. I am sure if a fee is agreed McLeish will stress to him that although he has been brought into the team as a starter, its down to him to take his chances as McLeish wont keep starting him unless he does better than anyone else we have. |

Completly agree mate, too many people here scared on what we could achieve. Iv said all along the premiership is weaker this season than it will be next which needs to be took into consideration. |

I am getting a litle worried about paying over the odds for this player.. Liverpool fans have been brought up on good football and know a player when they seen one. Go to this forum and go to the general prem section and look for post Babel to Birmingham? http://www.footballforums.net/forums/showt...t=236269&page=3 |

He's got pace to burn, of that there is no doubt. But I have seen nothing from him yet to justify this ridiculous price tag. |

Kyle is quite right Babel wants 1st team football and the stories going around Merseyside now are that Benitez has lost the respect of most of his players including Gerrard Babel wants to nail a place in the Holland World Cup sqaud.....he needs more playing time I think it would be a major coup for BCFC......and show other clubs around us chasing the Europa League (Sunderland, Fulham, Stoke, Everton etc) our intent KRO |

spot on Parti........... with us showing intent by trying to sign Babel it makes us a more attractive club to come to, which in turn helps us in the transfer market means players will look at us more favourably rather than blackmailing them and having to pay over the odds just to aquire theyre services dont mind paying the asking price for REAL quality as long as it makes us a viable proposition and i really rate Babel just dont think Benitez knew when or how to play him the way he did with Keane . **thumbup |

It wont have gone unnoticed that Joe Hart has gone from being a young, inexperienced, second-string keeper at Man City, to being a favourite to make the plane to South Africa in the summer, by playing regularly in our side. It wont have gone unnoticed that two Championship central defenders have stepped up to become acknowledged as one of the Premiership's best defensive pairings by playing here. It wont have gone unnoticed that players of the class and ability of Bowyer, Ferguson and McFadden, have been able to put an underachieving past behind them and show their best since arriving at Birmingham. And it certainly wont have escaped notice that we have at Birmingham a man who is quickly building a reputation as one of the most highly regarded managers in football today. And we have owners who have money to spend and will spend it to get to where they want the club to be. It strikes me that we must be one of the more attractive clubs for an ambitious footballer to join. As fans, we tend to underestimate our club. we shouldn't. We are going places and people are starting to recognise that. |

After how many years of waiting to be in a position like this, where are actually trying to buy players from teams above as opposed to trying to build a team from championship players, yet people are stilling saying we should worry about relegation, worry about not getting players. why shouldnt we punch above our weight, weve had one of the best seasons in the clubs history and people have started to stand up and take notice, every game for the first time i can remember, the opposing teams manager has said its going to be a difficult game and they actually mean it! 10 mill is a big price tag, i think the negative people are scared by it because its never happened before, yes its a gamble, but Big Eck is a great man manager, he will get the respect of the lad, tell him what he needs to do, he will listen and hopefully become a star for us! he obviously wants to go to the world cup, so if he could light himself up with a team like us in the premier league, playing well again teams of a supposed higher callibre than us then thats going to do the world for his career! Just think of the teams around us, Darren Bent to Sunderland, im not 100% but im sure his record at tottenham wasnt great! but he was still alot of money! Just believe in McLeish, i think hes a smart man and he wouldnt carry on going after someone if he didnt think they were good enough, or he could sort them out! Have Faith! :banner: |
