Ryan Babel (LFC -> Hoffenheim. Now Fulham)

All the best Ryan!

Honestly believe he will do well in Germany, easier league and all that! Don't really regret letting him go as IMO he wouldn't fulfill his true potential in the English league! Just don't score any wonder goals against us in the future and we will get on just fine

He should have went to Arsenal in the beginning would've have been a complete star from the off.

Always thought he'd come good. Would have loved to see him play up front for a succession of games. Thought he was at his best when played through the middle!

Anyway best of luck with the future ryan.

Average player, should have gone year ago at least.

Not got the brains to make it at the top. His final ball is shocking, he runs into players, and that's when he is trying, instead of moping about complaining he was not playing as a striker. sorry mate. Time to go find your level. and Germany aint it. they are not daft 2.5 year contract, he will be back in holland after half of that, and it wont be ajax.

Skysports.com understands Ryan Babel has sealed his switch to Hoffenheim from Liverpool.

The Reds confirmed on Monday that Babel was set for talks with the Bundesliga side after a deal was reached for the Dutchman.

Babel is believed to have signed a two-and-a-half -ear deal at Hoffenheim after agreeing personal terms and passing a medical.

The move ends Babel's four years at Liverpool after he joined the club in the summer of 2007 from Ajax for a fee of £11.5million.

The 24-year-old failed to live up to expectations at Anfield and never established himself as a regular in the first-team.

Liverpool have decided to cash-in on the versatile forward as they look to raise funds for their own signings in this month's transfer window.

The Holland international will help replace Demba Ba at the German club following his move to West Ham.

Hoffenheim sign Dutch forward Ryan Babel from Liverpool on an initial two-and-a-half-year deal
 

Good luck lad. Best option for both us and you. 

He was a player I was certainly excited about when we signed him a few years ago, there was a lot of hype with this guy coming from Holland. First year he had those number of great showing off the bench but seem he never could claim a spot on the first team due to his inconsistent performances.

I think a change of place could be what the doctor ordered to get his career back on track because it was clear he was never going to find it with this club.

Good luck Babel!

Good luck, but you had your chance here but never took it, won't realy be missed

Good luck Ryan, didn't work out here, make it work over there.

Was never a fan, glad he's gone.

It'll make room on the wage bill, another space on the bench or in the side for a new face or young lad.

Plenty more deadwood needs shifting, but a step in the right direction.

Do they have Twitter in Germany?

Could have, should have....didn't. Bye.

All up to Lucas now for the tweets now!

Shame it never worked out.

Knowing our luck he'll turn into a sensation at Hoffenheim.

Our squad is worryingly thin now, though. We seriously need to get some faces in.

Good luck, Ryan. Bye, bye......

New faces please.

Babel - He trotted in, he tweeted on, he teetered out.

The thing is he was too inconsistent someday's his tweets were good others they were bad.

Holy days-old joke Batman!

Had potential but decided not to fulfil it. Ah oh well, hes 24 now and I cant see him progressing any further. Good for us and good for him. Best of luck!

All the best Ryan. YNWA

Bye Bye Ryan all the best lad, shame you never recaptured your debut season form in teh time you were here as if you'd kicked on from that, you could have been one hell of a player.

Still quite like the fella, good look Ryan, hope you can realise your potential in Germany!

You can now bring your laziness to Hoffenheim. We don't appreciate it here.
