I think its unfair to slate a good loyal servant to the club in this way. Fabio has been very unlucky with injuries, but he is a class act when fit. Unfortunately that is not often enough but i will never forget the free kick in the CL v Chavski..

He did his hammy yesterday and this happens to all players.. I just wish he was more robust but he has a role to play.

thats the thing that frustrates me the most - we don't see him enough.

Think you have worded it wrong mate.

Everyone knows he is not garbage and is a very good player when fit.

But we will all agree that is nowhere near enough.
We desperately need someone new for next season.

I still think that technically he's one of our most gifted players, always comfortable with the ball, never see him hoofing it.

If the fella had the robustness of say Lucas or Kuyt he'd be a diamond, unfortunately he hasn't and I doubt if we'll ever see much of him again.

Also agree with those raising concerns over Agger, another technically gifted player who seems destined for a career curtailed by recurring injuries.

I think Aurelio is finished. Might play one or two more games in a Liverpool shirt but that'll be it. Sad really cos he is very good when fit.

Agree with everyone on Agger as well. Good defender but always seems to be on the sidelines.

One more to add to the list though but thankfully to a much lesser extent...Martin Kelly. I love the lad and pray he has a great career with us but he is injured at the moment and got injured last season just when it seemed like he might become a part of Rafa's plans. Too young to know yet though.

the fact that he is never fit is garbage. pointless having such good technical skills when you don't have the fitness to go with it.

like Woof said, if he had the fitness of Lucas or Kuyt, it would be great. but he doesn't, he's made of glass and i've lost patience with him. the last player who had such a bad fitness record was Harry Kewell.

we always seem to have poor luck when it comes to the left-side.

Left side and both fullback and wing have to be improved this summer if we're serious about mixing it with the top 4 again. Glen Johnson is not the long term solution for that position IMO and sadly Aurelio is done.

Poor Fabio, he wants to play here and can't stay fit. I feel for the guy he was doing so well against the mancs too.

by **bunglemark2** » Tue Mar 08, 2011 5:33 pm

Ship him out. We can't afford to pay his wages and have him spend his time either on the physio's bench or in recovery...
Thanks Fabio but your time is up...

by **7_Kewell** » Tue Mar 08, 2011 9:06 pm

his time was up last season, but due lack of funds we had little choice t bring him back.

Get rid

agree.
he is technically a very good player and has plenty of football in him.its just a pure shame we never had him fit for long enough to get it out of him.
still he should be shipped out in the summer.
if we get someone with his ability and a better fitness record id be happy.

I like many think he is a good player but he always injured, to be honest I couldn't see anyone else buying him.

Hopefully he is only on a short term contract.

A top class left back and left winger are the main priorities for the summer.

Signed for Gremio in Brazil apparently according to sportlinglife.

How odd - did they think they were resigning Lucas?

Best of luck back in Brazil, Fabio.
The best left back in England when playing, and an unsung hero of our best league campaign in 2008-09. Such a shame your ligaments are made from chewing gum.

Funny, but true ,the lad was genuine quality for the days his limbs allowed him to be ....all the best Fabio.

classy player and i`m sure if he wasnt cursed with injuries he`d be our current left back.
he`s one of the few players at the club who could actually cross a ball and i`m sure carroll is gutted that fabio never played more.
good luck in the future mate and thanks for your efforts in a red shirt
