Welcome back Aurelio

[DannyMan2006]

No chance Insua will stay IMO. If he doesn't go to the Viola he'll be off elsewhere.

What can't happen is us ending up in the same sitaution as last season.

Excellent news on both fronts IMO

If some other club wanted Insua, they'd have been in for him already.

Left Back was our biggest problem position last season, with the same two again we could very easily end up with the same problem.

No, lack of strikers was our biggest problem last season

[little dave hedgehog]

i'm aurelio pleased about this.

agree that with the same left backs as last year, a utility defender might be nice, someone luke a very young diego renan.

I agree. But we need a LB. If I could guarantee Aurelio staying injury free we'd be fine with what we have. But chances of that.........

Dave Usher says we're after Konchesky aswell but Insua still being here is holding that up.

Please stay Emiliano!

Why?

He's ****ing ****e mate...always has been and always will be.

Nah not having that. Aurelio when fit is a reliable, cultered left back/mid.

However when Insua plays we automatically look a shaky back 4, he's that bad...won't be a happy man if we can't get him sold this summer.

[Fernandinho]

But that is my point, the situation could easily arise again where Aurelio is injured again and Insua is our only option...

True, true. A left back is still very much needed.

[the rev leeroy brown]

hopefully with fabio back to full fitness and these new medical folks on board, aurelio can hold onto this left back position and give us some stability in defense this year. if we can still get fig on board then our left side would go from non-existant to preety solid in a the space of a few days.

welcome home fabio . . . . . . please stay fit htis time.

Back to square 1, and people think that is a good thing?

Still need a first choice LB.

Konchesky certainly is that.
