He has scored some good goals and given glimpses of what he is capable of, but I still have my doubts. He certainly needs to toughen up as Nanny has already said, and start using his left foot occasionally if only to put a little doubt in the oppositions mind as to what he is going to do.
If I had to guess I would say he will be a decent player but not quite what we are looking for (Pongole) rather than the new Henry.
The thing is, S@int, remember Henry in his first two seasons with Arsenal? He looked average. Babel has actually done very well if what he says is true about setting himself a benchmark of 10 goals for himself to reach personally. He's been more of an impact player and has done great considering he's not playing in his natural position. If he continues to improve, then we could have a potential superstar playing for us within the next few years IMO. We haven't seen the best of him yet by any stretch. He's also probably got the most fierce right foot strike in the Prem since Hasselbaink. We just haven't seen enough of it yet.

I must have missed that match.

Maybe if we'd seen "flashes" of brilliance I'd have higher hopes.
But I haven't, so i haven't.

Yeah, that Inter Milan game was a nice match. Shame you missed him dance around Zanetti and Maicon at the same time. Some other time in the match, he elbowed Maicon in the mouth when Maicon attempted to stab in for the ball. That's aggressive in my eyes.
As for touch, if you haven't seen his touch, it's because he moves too quick for you

Whatever, lad. He's a good, promising young player but you're way overhyping him. His touch is decent not spectacular and his aggression--or lack thereof--is one of his biggest liabilities, IMO. I've seen numerous occasions this season where 50/50 balls were there to be won and he's held back. That's why I say he's not aggressive enough. BTW, elbowing a player is not good aggression, it's stupidity.
