Former Liverpool forward Ryan Babel was a very promising kid when he plied his trade in Ajax before moving to England to play under Rafa Benitez in Liverpool.

The then 21-year old Dutch raw talent agreed to move for a transfer fee in the region to 11.5 million Pounds.

In the summer of 2007, he signed a five year contract with the Merseysiders and was handed the number 19 jersey famously owned by Spanish player Fernando Morientes. The player, only 21 then already had over 100 appearancess for Ajax helping them lift the Eredivisie 2003/2004 and also the KNVB cup. He also has two of the Johan Cruyff Shield medal.

He made his senior international debut on March 26th 2005 against Romania where he came on as a substitute for Arjen Robben, Babel went on to score their second goal in the 2-0 thumping. He was also added in the Dutch squad for FIFA World Cup 2006 by then manager Marco Van Basten at the age of 19.

He was heavily linked as the next best thing and nicknamed the ‘next Thierry Henry’. He was selected to make the 2010 FIFA World Cup but did not appear in any of the matches. He kept on with decent play at Liverpool under Rafa Benitez terrorizing the opponents with his great dribbling and ball control skills. He scored a lot of crucial goals for The Reds, mostly in the UEFA Champions League.

His career was marred by consecutive controversies when he had a rift with the manager. He posted on Twitter that he has been dropped for a game and the club took disciplinary actions and fined him. He angered fans the more when he reportedly travelled to London with an intention to move to West Ham or Spurs. His game time became more limited and he took to social media more.

He was also reported to have played online games whilst watching the team from the subs bench, though in fairness at least they were football-themed games, and they do look uite exciting!

He was the first professional player who was charged and fined by the FA for improper conduct made on social media. He eventually moved to TSG Hoffenheim in 2010 before returning to his boyhood club. Two years later. He currently is in the UAE Gulf league where nothing is practically heard of him.

Ryan Babel never truly wanted to join and perform with Al Ain

Ryan Babel used to be a hugely promising player when he signed for Liverpool at the age of 17 for a fee of £11.5 million.

The Dutch footballer was even compared to have similar abilities to Thierry Henry as Marco van Basten said that Babel has the talent and skills to become the next Thierry Henry but he failed to live up to the hype and expectations from everyone.

Throughout the entire playing career of Ryan Babel, he has gone through a number of clubs including: Ajax, Liverpool, Hoffenheim, Kasimpasa and his current team is Al Ain.

Even though Ryan Babel joined Al Ain on July 2015, he has never managed to get any playing time with the club UAE club and it doesn’t seem like things will be changing anytime soon as a board member of Al Ain has revealed details concerning Babel and it’s not good news.

Mohammed Obeid Hamdoun is a board member of Al Ain and he recently revealed that Ryan Babel never really showed any motivation or signs to perform with the club and it’s one of the reasons why he has not been able to get with the main team, as he just simply does not want to as well as also having disciplinary issues with other members of the club.

“I think Babel will go back to Turkey to play with Fenerbahce. This is normal in football. Sometimes big name and big players come and don’t do anything here. This can happen in any team. Sometimes you bring one big name and he doesn’t want to play that’s my opinion on Babel.’’ Mohammed Obeid Hamdoun of Al Ain said.

The head coach of Al Ain, ZlatkoDalic has also talked about Ryan Babel’s current situation in the club and the future of the Dutch footballer appears to be linked with a move away from Al Ain as he does not serve any purpose and will not serve any role with the UAE club at all.

“I want to say thank you to Babel for the last six months with us. I wish him all the best next season at a new club. This is football, this is life. Also, we did everything that our fans wanted of us. I hope to make them happy.’’ ZlatcoDalic said as he wished Ryan Babel good luck, who will probably leaving Al Ain after an underwhelming period of time with the UAE club.

Is Ryan Babel a summer target of Galatasaray?

Ryan Babel has not made a single appearance for his current club Al Ain since December of 2015 but he still an ongoing contract with the club which extends until 2017.

The time that Babel has spent performing with Al Ain has been a forgettable one as the Dutch player has had to deal with problems involving disciplinary issues and has even faced problems in relation to things that he has done in the world of social media.

“I know I have not performed at 100 per cent until now and I promise everyone that I will do my very best in the coming period and I await the fans support for myself and the rest of the team. I hope that Al Ain’s supporters can trust me. Given another, last chance I have no doubts that you will back me when I wear the Al Ain shirt so that I can perform to your expectations. As a team we will be stronger and can win titles domestically and on the continent.’’ This is the statement that Ryan Babel released within the opening few weeks after having signed with Al Ain as he vowed to perform at his best and avoid going through problems but it hasn’t been working out for him.

Babel has made less than 20 appearances with Al Ain but he has already received a red card as he was sent off during Al Ain’s match against Dibba.

Despite all of these issues that Ryan Babel has gone through, it’s rumored that Galatasaray are interested in signing him and considering that he has not played a single match for Al Ain in over 1 year, Galatasaray should not find it difficult trying to sign Babel in the approaching summer transfer window.

It is a well-known fact that Ryan Babel does not really like Rafael Benitez. This animosity started way back during the time when Benitez was managing Babel at Liverpool. Babel blamed his poor career on the way the former Liverpool played him.

According to Babel, he never played three games in a row and that the Spanish manager did not have what it takes to develop young players.

Babel also criticized the appointment of Rafael Benitez as Real Madrid coach. He joked saying that Ronaldo will be played in defense when Benitez takes over.

His comments over Benitez have not gone well with some Liverpool fans, and this has prompted them to question Babel’s attitude on Twitter. This is the origin of the insulting reply made by Babel on Twitter.

Ryan Babel played for Liverpool from 2007-2011 and managed to make 146 appearances for the English team. He scored 22 goals along the way. He will then move to Germany to play for TSG 1899 Hoffenheim where he managed to make 51 appearances while scoring six goals.

Babel might move to Real Salt Lake

The MLS is renowned for being a league for retired players to enjoy themselves while demonstrating their playing skills.

The latest player that could be making the move to MLS is Ryan Babel. In fact, Babel is not the type of player that traditionally makes it to the MLS. He is still only 29 years old, but he has so far struggled to get his career going after leaving Liverpool.

The player has recently tweeted Salt Lake City without giving any additional information. This has sparked a lot of rumors about the player moving to the MLS.

The player has recently tweeted Salt Lake City without giving any additional information. This has sparked a lot of rumors about the player moving to the MLS.

That said, he is alway tweeting things such as where to watch horse racing online (on betting company StanJames website), and his views on popular music.

Babel who last played in Turkey and the Arab Emirates will want to end his career in style, and playing in the MLS might be just the opportunity he needs.

At some moment in his career, he was tipped as going to be a world-class player, but his career stalled when he was at Liverpool. Babel recently blamed Rafael Benitez for being the one responsible for his unsuccessful career but in fairness, it would be more to a lack of talent and of belief from the Dutch player.

Another former star player that just came to the MLS is Julio Baptista. The former Arsenal player is renowned in the Premier League for having scored four goals past Liverpool in a game where the Gunners won 6-3. The Brazilian player will be teaming up with fellow Brazilian Kaka for Orlando City.

We will have to wait to see whether Ryan Babel will make the move to MLS. For the time being, we only have a tweet that is giving rise to all sorts of rumors. The MLS will definitely benefit from having a player of Ryan Babel’s quality especially when you know that he still have a few seasons at the top level left in him.

Liverpool rumours that Volland from Hoffenheim and Kostic from Stuggart are both being scouted

With transfers and transfer options on the horizon, there’s been a lot of rumours and speculation going around for a lot of major players and teams this season.

First, we have some Liverpool rumours that Volland from Hoffenheim and Kostic from Stuggart are both being scouted. They have a very high interest in bringing the two to the club to restructure their team.

With transfers and transfer options on the horizon, there’s been a lot of rumours and speculation going around for a lot of major players and teams this season.

First, we have some Liverpool rumours that Volland from Hoffenheim and Kostic from Stuggart are both being scouted. They have a very high interest in bringing the two to the club to restructure their team.

Both of the players are a young 23 years old and both of them are very good on either flank. Volland has also been known to play a very great game as a central striker. Volland has had 26 Bundesliga appearances this season and has an impressive track record this season alone of five assists and seven nets. One of those appearances also provided him the opportunity to provide the team an opportunity to make a decent return.

While Volland’s release clause is set at a very cool £14 million, this number is an absolute steal for Liverpool.

Klopp’s attacking line may be fierce but it’s still in need of some fine tuning. This is where the Serbian winger Kostic could come into play. He has shown his excelled skills in dribbling the ball and he’s also very good at crossing the ball with very high accuracy. He impresses players again and again with his fancy footwork. However, Liverpool has an obstacle with Kostic because while he wants to leave Stuttgart, it’s reported that he’s only going to move to a club that will offer him European football.

In other rumoured news, Liverpool is said to have made contact with River about bringing Alario to the team. However, Los Milonarios said that they want more than they initially asked for, which was £5.7 million. Instead, they’re reporting to hold out for almost twice the initial amount and don’t seem to be budging. While Liverpool is currently short on great strikers, the price may not be too unreasonable.

Ryan Babel looks very keen on a return to Turkish football

Former Liverpool winger Ryan Babel looks very keen on a return to Turkish football after being pictured recently Turkish capital Istanbul.

Babel is playing for Al Ain in the Middle East, but it appears that he is not very keen on continuing with the club. Despite having moved to Al Ain only six months ago, Babel has already made indications that he would like to return to Turkey where he has spent the better part of the last few years playing for clubs like Kasimpasa. This .

Despite having moved to Al Ain only six months ago, Babel has already made indications that he would like to return to Turkey where he has spent the better part of the last few years playing for clubs like Kasimpasa. This .

The Turkish giant is keen on a revival in fortunes, which is yet to arrive even after several managerial changes. Hence, the club are going into the belief that they need a transformation in the squad in order to be competitive once again. Babel has a lot of experience of European football from his time at clubs like Liverpool and Ajax. He also knows Turkish football very well after having played for Kasimpasa. The Dutch winger recently posted a picture of his Kasimpasa days on Instagram despite being contracted to Al Ain. The Middle East outfit are unlikely to fine him, but they are very keen on receiving a substantial transfer fee.

The player still has 18 months left on the two-year contract that he signed a short while ago. Galatasaray further slipped behind table leaders Fenerbahce following a 3-2 loss against Osmanlıspor. This was yet another setback for the team, who appeared to be on the way in recent weeks. After managing to go unbeaten in three league outings, they have suffered this loss that now allows teams like Istanbul Basaksehir FK to catch them. The sale of Al Ain would allow the club to sign a new foreign player. The club can have only one foreign name in the squad.

Ryan Babel’s pledged to turn things around in Al AIn

Ryan Babel’s joined the Arabian side Al Ain on July of 2015 as he was transferred from Kasimpasa over to Al Ain but he has had early struggles in his new club due to a number of different reasons which range from having underwhelming performances to even being sanctioned after an incident which occurred involving Babel and a Liverpool supporter.

The 29 year old player made a sexist response towards a Liverpool supporter as Babel released a comment to the woman which read: ‘’i think u should concentrate on growing some tits instead of speaking about football… Ur a girl.. Stay in ur lane.’’ Babel continued on by saying that he won’t discuss or argue anything about football with a woman.

This isn’t the first time that Ryan Babel has created uproar in social media as he has already been sanctioned in the past. The other incident which the Dutchman caused was back in 2011 when he posted a picture of the former referee Howard Webb wearing a Manchester United shirt after Liverpool’s 1-0 defeat at Old Trafford. Babel was later fined for £10,000.

Ever since Babel joined Al Ain, he has been under heavy criticism from the fans of the club and this is mainly due to the uninspiring performances that the Dutchman has pulled off. In his 10 opening appearances as a player of Al Ain, he has only scored 2 goals and overall, his conduct in matches has just been dull.

Babel had a meeting with the Al Ain management and he took the chance to voice his determination to improve and consequently start to earn the support of the team.

“I know I have not performed at 100 per cent until now and I promise everyone that I will do my very best in the coming period and I await the fans support for myself and the rest of the team. I hope that Al Ain’s supporters can trust me. Given another, last chance I have no doubts that you will back me when I wear the Al Ain shirt so that I can perform to your expectations’’ Ryan Babel as he pledged his future with the Arabian club.

From there on out, Heitinga has made his way to Everton, Fulham and Hertha BSC before eventually making his return to Ajax.

The 31 years old defender made his return to Ajax on June 25 of the ongoing year after his contract with the Bundesliga club Hertha BSC had reached its end. Heitinga signed a one year deal with Ajax but depending on how the player performs in this period of time; his stay has the possibility of being extended one additional year.

By signing John Heitinga, in their journey of taking the league title away from the current champions PSV Eindhoven who secured the Bundesliga title in the previous season after having secured a total of 88 points.

Ajax came very far behind as they only managed to secure 71 points in the last season but Frank de Boer remains optimistic about the future of Ajax as he wants to win the Bundesliga league with the Dutch club and the manager even denied any rumors which were recently popping around that linked him with a move to other clubs.

The twin brother of Frank de Boer, Ronald de Boer said: “Frank has decided to stay at Ajax for at least another year. He’s said to his manager he doesn’t want to take any calls for another year.’’

Frank de Boer wants to win the league title and with the arrival of John Heitinga, the manager is expecting that the experienced defender will help in this quest.
