    This season he's started 12 games in all competitions and only finished 7 of them, last season he started 13 games and finished 7 of them.

    So in 2 years he's only been fit enough to start 25 games, and only fit enough to finish 14 of them. As good a player as I think he is he just isn't dependable. If we have him we need someone else available because he's only fit enough to start ~25% of games.

    The only gracious way to accept an insult is to ignore it; if you can't ignore it, top it; if you can't top it, laugh at it; if you can't laugh at it, it's probably deserved.

      Why the eye roll? A player who can only play 9 games a season or so is a drain on resources. Our wage bill is ridiculous when you look at the actual quality available to our managers to put out on the field. He's one of many reasons why.

      In his case it's down to lack of availability as opposed to quality.

      But we can't play Konk because he's ****e, whilst we can't play Fabio because he's always injured. Either way neither are players available to use. As such both are a waste of money.
      He's clearly not a drain on resources. He still goes to training, does his rehabilitation, then his experience must be invaluable to young players.
      Are we winning?

        I don't know the answer to this but I'd be surprised if Aurelio has 20 starts this season at leftback in games which he didn't leave the field through injury.

            we need 2 new LB's really, Aurelio is our best LB but out injured all the time and we have little to back him up with.

            Good player but the injuries are a huge problem

              Don't get me wrong, we wouldn't be depending on Fabio, of course we need another quality left back who could be a regular there. But as a quality addition to our squad, who could play 10 games a year, it'd be great to have him.

                We should just get rid and spend the money on someone who is always available. It'd be worth paying double his wage if it meant getting in someone who can be available for the majority of games as opposed to hardly any.

                I'm not actually sure we need a cover LB anyways. We need a first choice one, but another one? Not so sure. We have Glen who can cover, and young Robinson looks okay to cover him.
                Forwards.......

                  Agree..

                  Aurelio would be great, if he wasn't made in Taiwan..

                    Provided he was only paid for those games and not the vast periods spent crocked on the sidelines
                    A lot of people run a race to see who is fastest. I run to see who has the most guts, who can punish himself into exhausting pace, and then at the end, punish himself even more.

                      Not sure about all this 'starting' and 'finishing' lark, but his appearance stats at LFC are:

                      2006-07: 24
                      2007-08: 29

                        Full back options:

                        RB: Glen, Kelly, Flanagan.
                        LB: New Player, Glen, Robinson.

                        Also: Carra, Agger, Wilson.

                        Five players to cover two full back positions over the course of a season, when we are also unlikely to be playing in Europe which obviously puts a bigger strain on a squad.
                        Forwards.......

                          Lark? It's pretty important not constantly going off injured.

                          I'd love it for him to play 10 games in a row. Just isn't going to happen though.

                            It's been downhill since 2008-09, when in all fairness he was fantastic. Think Insua came in for him at the end of that season as well.

                              Aye, knacked himself against Chelsea in the Champions League, no?
