Ryan Babel's move to Liverpool, confirmed.

Babel Unveiled
By Mighy Reds July 13 2007
Ryan Babel has officially signed for Liverpool Football Club today. The Dutch international has agreed a five year contract which keeps him at Anfield until 2012. The 20-year old Dutchman was unveiled at a press conference today. He will wear the number 19 shirt.

Babel said:

"I was in Aruba at the end of last week when I was told to start thinking about Liverpool because a move could happen," Babel said. "I have met Rafael Benítez and my conversation with him was the moment I knew the deal would get done.
 
"He is like the ideal father-in-law. He has a lot of football knowhow and he told me that I would be challenging with six other players for four positions. I have a good feeling about things.
 
"I met Dirk Kuyt at training, who I knew from the national team. At that moment he did not feel like a rival but I suppose that is what will happen.
 
"It was very important how the coach spoke to me, how I would fit in his team. After that conversation I knew it was the right decision."

Don't like all the comparisons to Terry Henry. Just be Ryan Babel.
