Fabio Aurelio

We will still need a left-back whether Aurelio stays or goes. It would be good if we could keep him on a PAYP as he is versitile and could cover left-midfield and CM as well, which is useful when we need to rest players, but giving him a new contract is a luxury we cannot afford.

Using this logic we should take the 130m for Torres and Gerrard from City, sell Benny, Agger and Riera and enjoy life in the championship.

I claim my right of reply...

I know that 'injury prone' will mean different things to different people, so I made it clear in my post that I don't regard Torres or Gerrard as injury-prone...yet!! The same goes for Benny and Riera. Agger on the other hand is looking as if he is.

So I think you are being a bit unfair to me.

....Boro Boy it would be interesting to know your views on Adam Johnson, I

Except he seems to think that Downing isn't a useless pile of choking ****e. That lad has no place at a big club or in international football. Even Villa are too good for him!
