“I know they have been looking for another full-back”

|

Liverpool left back Fabio Aurelio says he is aware that Roy Hodgson is looking for another left back but he is determined to prove his worth to the team and become first choice next season:

“I know it doesn’t feel like I am new signing for many people but for me it feels like it is a whole new beginning. That is why I have changed my squad number. I want to start everything new and hopefully we can do much better. When you are at a top side like Liverpool, it is always important to have confidence. I know they have been looking for another full-back but I am confident if I do my job and do the best I can do it, hopefully I can convince the boss I can be first choice.”

Aurelio was re-signed by Roy Hodgson after he was released at the end of last season and has taken the number 6 shirt for the forthcoming campaign. Liverpool have been linked with Maynor Figueroa and Paul Konchesky in recent weeks but the failure to sell Emiliano Insua has led to no signings being made in that position.

    I think Fabio could have been number 1 last season if he didnt have his injury problems, after his performances in the season we finished 2nd. Good luck to him, but we do need another left back so they both can fight for that position……YNWA

    We don’t need another left back even if someone else will pay Insua £40,000 per week.

    It’s Aurelio’s position. He’s supposed to be over his injuries.
    The impressive Martin Kelly or Agger can cover the position or perhaps Robinson as he gets blooded.

  • Greg says:

    Aurelio will get injured again – every player does, even those not as injury-prone as him. Robinson is a couple of years away in reality, Mavinga is close but not as good as Insua yet. Having Kelly as Aurelio’s backup might be asking too much of him, but he’s probably the best option if we have no money to spend!
    I wouldn’t complain if Insua stayed for another season, and then hopefully Mavinga might be ready to take the back-up role.
