Angry Liverpool winger Ryan Babel is desperate to go out on loan after claiming Rafa Benitez has
broken promises made to him.
Babel, 22, has already targeted a move to his former club Ajax in January to salvage his World Cup
dream.
The Dutch star has struggled to get any regular first-team football since moving to Anfield two
years ago.
Team manager Bert van Marwijk refuses to look into the future regarding a comeback of Van der Sar
and Van Nistelrooy. Both players announced that the WC 2010 is still in the back of their heads.
Van der Sar (130 international games) broke two fingers last month and is at

Ryan Babel had been touted as one of the most exciting prospects in Europe when
he made a switch from Ajax to Liverpool but his career has since taken the wrong
