From the sound of it, Aurelio also poses a major attacking threat, and with him, Riise, Kewell and Gonzalez at our disposal, the left suddenly looks very formidable.

I don't know where this leaves Warnock, but I certainly hope it means the end of the road for Traore.

If he does come in then it should mean good bye to Troare and Warnock. Troare is appalling, and although Warnock is O.K, people are going over the top on how well he has done because of the fact he is a local boy and has done really well to come back from a couple of broken legs. I personally would like to see him go out on loan to a Premiership club were he is guaranteed 38 league starts, he has some very desirable attributes as a left back but is often naïve in his play, this may be down to inexperience, so I would like to see him go out on loan to see if he improves, though I think he will leave permanently.

Hope the rumours of Kromkamp leaving aren’t true because as a two, he have the best right back situation in the country. The squad shape at the back is looking good:

                           Reina
                           Dudek (I would keep him, but if he leaves we will need an experienced back up)
                           Martin (Carson should go out on loan so he will take 3rd spot)

Finnan        Carragher     Hyypia      Aurelio
Kromkamp     Agger         Paleta        Riise

Although this is an Aurelio topic, i would like to answer on your question about palleta. He is very good in the air because he is big and buff. He has pace, maybe the same speed as garcia. The way he look is scary!! honestly 

I watched one of palleta under 21 game in the national side and he is a premiership type of player. Very agressive, likes to tackle(he tends to do some clumsy tackle, but because of his inexperience) but he should work on his marking a bit because he loses concentration during set pieces etc...

Maybe he is on holiday and will sort out the details when he gets back. And if he does arrive will that mean a swift end for Troare and Warnock?
