I agree in principle of what you say about fighting Kuyt and Riera for the wings but if Rafa's transfers go much the way people are wanting I.E Silva arriving then I feel Riera and Silva will be fighting out for that Role and the Right hand side will be a two horse race between Kuyt and Yossi.
I think Babel would still have the talent to compete with Silva, Riera, Kuyt and Benayoun. Each player of course brings something different. And what Babel could bring is pace. He has recently improved his first touch as well and he has an eye for goal. If he stops running into dead ends and ,as I said in my last post, plays for the team, then he could walk into the starting XI. That all provides on him dumping that ego he picked up in the European under 21 championships, and put in the work!
