It might be an idea to keep him as a back up or sub for Riera, cos I reckon Babel will be off in the Summer.
2 great goals and I have to say, I'm delighted for the lad. Might be worth trying him out at LM in a few games before the season is over and see how he pans out.
He's no full back though.

he is a fullback though.. and thats the problem...
havent seen much of him at the left wing to make me believe he'd be better than Riera or even good enough to be backup..
for what its worth i think he'd most probably make a terrible left winger... he cant cross for sh!t, seems to run into players rather than past them, and seems to have very little composure when on the ball... funny enough he scored 2 very good goals that would make you think composure is one of his defining characters...
If Babel leaves then i think we might aswell go out and buy a top class left winger and have riera as the backup... i rate riera, hes a very good player whos provided us with much needed balance since hes been here.. but his end product seems to be lacking...
for now though, Aurelio is doing a brilliant job at leftback and Riera is the much better left winger of the two... i'd take Insua ahead of Dossena as leftback cover and Babel ahead of Dossena as left inger cover so that leaves him...errrr... out the door in the summer...

Is he a fullback though?
Just because he is picked to play there it doesnt mean its his best position
Two examples:
Bob Paisley bought Ray Kennedy, Arsenal striker, and turned him into the best Left sided midfielder of his time.
John Arne Riise was a great left sided midfielder who was put as left back and turned into the disaster that some of us knew he would become.

Aye, but it wouldn't be the first time for Rafa to play someone out of position, would it?
Anyway, I only say it because I think it's obvious that Babel will go in the Summer and I doubt we'll have the shillings to shell out for a new LM, as well as a decent RM and a new striker.

We need Dossena here, otherwise who should we blame if Lucas leave in the summer

a swap deal with any of the seria a clubs for some one good is the best plan for him
and keep lucas as a hate figure, as with pennant leaving i would feel a bit short in the scape goat element of the club which we have had for years!!!!!!!!!
that s a thread on it's own who has been the most disliked lfc player ever!!!!!!!!!!
luis (at times we all hated him the little scamp)
emile......... you know you did
pennant............ my selection as the most wasted money lfc ever spent
lucas.... one for the future
dicks.. never good enough by far
owen... never loved by the kop

Diouff was biggest hate figure by far.
At least Biscan tried.
As for Dossena, well, feck, he's a bizarre one eh?

I love it how Dossena thumped the badge after scoring against Madrid and then Man Utd

Doing a better job of it than a number of those who should be scoring more often. With only one striker on the pitch, the onus is on the rest of the midfield and, to a lesser degree, the defenders to get goals.
I just hope he isn't too much like Riise, not good enough defensively to be a LB, not good enough attacking to be a LM and falling between two stools. For a while I thought Riise would make a good LM, that belief didn't last long

Hopefully he will be here next season so then we can properly assess him and his abilities within the prem - plenty other players took a season to get used to it - even evra was 
poor when he first arrived .

My view is that he's some way short of being good enough and we should listen tot offers in the Summer. Now Insua has emerged as cover, and Aurelio is playing out of his skin, we should put the couple of million we'll get for Dossena towards buying a first team player. We should put the money we'll lose on his transfer down to experience and move on.
