Liverpool have confirmed that they've accepted a bid from Hoffenheim for Ryan Babel. Media reports
put the fee at €7m, or £5.8m, which is almost exactly 50% of what Liverpool paid for the
winger/striker/professional Tweeter in the summer of 2007. The deal's not done yet – Babel still
has to agree personal terms – but I expect we're past the point of no return.
