I did a babelfish on that article...it's funny if not illuminating...

"Fabio Aurelio could finish in Anfield It seems that the future of Fabio Aurelio it is more and more far from Mestalla. The player has been several months without reaching an agreement to renew his commitment with the organization Che and all he makes indicate that he will change of airs the next month of June. Madrid, Barcelona and other equipment of the League could have interested in obtaining their services. Nevertheless, to the list it has been united in last a name that sounds with much force and that could have taken certain advantage with respect to its rivals. The Liverpool wants to take to the soccer player to Anfield and to fulfill one of requests of Rafa Benítez. Fabio fulfills all requirements that requests trainer since it is a reliable professional, who has a great handling of his left leg and emphasizes by his versatility to act as much in the lateral one, as in the interior or until in mediocentro. In case outside little, both shared the most glorious stage of the Valencia in which canarinho even completed its better campaigns and got to be one of the goleadores of that set that proclaimed league champion."

he is a really great left back and that means the end of traore! Riise will have tough competition because he can fit in the english premier league.

but i will wait for the liverpool official site to announce it

He'd be an excellent signing.

He can play LB, LM, Pure midfielder... he has strong long shots, he's quick.

On the bad side, he's been a bit prone to injuries and... according to my reports, Barcelona wants him too...

But he got his greatest moment of form with Benitez in Valencia, and scored a good number of goals, so, may be...

Some good vid links on that site as well. They've run out of bandwidth, so I've bunged them on youtube...

Nice goal v Madrid...

Cracking free kick against Recreativo...

It's a pleasure to help, Ciggy :)

Signing him up for LB, would give us one of the best player we can think of in that position, he's not maldini defending, but he provides a lot of danger to that wing when he plays as LB.

But if we do sign him up, I don't know what position he would play. 2 years ago, when Vicente was injured, he subbed him in that position and banged 9 goals for the team! so i wouldn't know to say what woul be Rafa's plans fo him.

I preffer F. Aurelio rather than Riise in the LB, and Kewell in the LW, so if it happens, I'll be happy. :)

There's actually loads on Youtube already. He looks very handy indeed.

Nice finish vs Mallorca
Diving header vs Celta Vigo
Great composure vs Barca

:idea excellent -- bye bye traore -- in hockey(since everyone refers to hockey when i post) there is a term "traded for a bag of pucks" -- wonder what the footie equivilent is cos i think thats all we'll get for traore

hope this guy is as good as everyone says but jar will make it tough on him to play
