Some players just ooze class, right now this lad looks up there in terms of quality.

one thing for DAMN sure is I think we can put to bed the arguement of what attacking fullbacks bring to the team.

Instability?

possibly but the majority of goals have come from set pieces so I don't know how defensive fullbacks would have helped unless they were good in the air.

Evra is a lot better than Aurelio.

I'm not saying aurelio is bettervI'm saying he can get up to that level and he (aurelio) can certainly bring more to the table with his dead ball ability.

F*ck me Johnson is just about as good a signing as any team could hope to wish for.
What an amazing start. He already looks like the most likely to make something happen after Stevie and Torres.
And for a right back that is simply amazing stuff!
Great to see.

It helps when Bolton give you the freedom of the right-wing.
Contrast that to the midweek game when Ashley Young stood on his toes for 90 minutes, and we got nothing out of him.
Yes, he's a fucking lovely right-back, and started very well, but some people need to calm down.
And no Spidey - Aurelio can't get to the level of Evra or Cole. Wise the fuck up.

True but we need in the games like Bolton and Stoke where teams sit deep and we cannot break them down.
As for the Auerlio will never be what Cole or Evra are but most people know that.

He seems to have settled instantly and his play has been very good.
Nice to see a player who can use both feet to good effect as well.
I think criticism that he did less well in a game where an opposing teams attacker is sacrificed to man mark him is a little harsh and may be seen as a compliment to his ability.
He is definitely going to present a major headache for any opposing team and will get on the scoresheet from time to time.

if he delivers crosses to the quality he is capable of and takes set peices to the best of his ability and has an injury free fun then aurelio can definately delivery a comparable amount of assists as the afore mentioned fullbacks, why not? I'm obviously not talking about powering past people cutting the ball back from the byline that's not his game.

johnson has been amazing on the right, once aurelio is fit again we'll have the best fullbacks in the league (yes, I think aurelio is that good).
[/quote]
I'd rather have Evra or Cole.
[/quote]
Why?
EDIT
Oh, instead of Aurelio?
That's obvious then...
