Fabio Aurelio

[mersey86]

Fabio + Insua next year will more than get us through!

That's risky. Fabio is almost guaranteed to miss half the season. Can we rely on Insua? Not that much, not yet. However, if we get Rafinha and Agger is fit we do know that Arbeloa and Carra can play left back, so between them we should be OK.

I think he more than makes up for his flaws with what he adds in terms of attacking play. I would like to see a new LB but if one has to go I would rather see Riise go (who I also suspect would be the least happy of the two to be a mere backup).

yup, he is a decent enough LB, very good going forward but average at tracking back. Thing is, in Spain he did score a decent amount of goals, but has not posed that threat for us. If we got rid of Riise and fast tracked Insua then could be quite a sweet deal for us.

i have always liked aurelio, but the thing is when he seems to hit good form, he gets injured.. which is a shame really.

When he passes the ball he reminds me of Alonso, most of his passes are usually Direct and could probably fire it through the eye of a needle
