Reds eye spanish defender

[Tones]

Liverpool are reported to be lining up a move for Athletic Bilbao defender Fernando Amorebieta.

 

Reports emanating from Spain suggest Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez is keeping tabs on the highly-rated defender.

 

The Reds are believed to have watched the 22-year-old on a couple of occasions this season as they ponder making some transfer forays in January.

 

Benitez has admitted he is considering adding to his squad when the transfer window reopens and defensive reinforcements are believed to be his top priority.

 

The Reds are short of cover in defence after failing in their pursuit of Gabriel Heinze and Amorebieta's versatility makes him an attractive proposition.

 

Bilbao are keen to keep hold of Amorebieta, but the player could find it hard to resist the opportunity to become the latest player to join the Spanish contingent at Anfield.

 

 

 

Must admit i have never heard of him, but i never heard of Arbeloa and he has been a great signing.

Good point. Well made.

[Molby]

don't suppose anyone knows where in defence he plays

 

 

or if he's any good, is quick, can pass, is strong, has good positional play, gets up to score the odd goal etc etc

Fernando Amorebieta Mardaras is a soccer player born in Cantaura, Anzoátegui State, Venezuela, the 21 of March of 1985, although being very young would return to Bilbao, native city of its parents. It measures 1.92 and it weighs 85 kg.

 

When her mother gave light, she was in Venezuela, although their parents vivian in Euskadi. So Venezuelan nationalized itself, but recently, Spanish nationalized itself.

 

That Amorebieta was born in Venezuela does not prevent that rojiblanco can military man in the rows of the club since all soccer player born in the Basque quarry can get to play in the Athletic.

 

. The International in the inferior categories of the Spanish selection, can play as much of central defense as of lateral left, as therefore it has demonstrated it in the branch.

 

The young puppy had an important paper season 2005/2006. The tactical defensive missions by the left band caused that in numerous occasions it abandoned his natural position like power station to occupy the lateral left-handed person. In this position it fulfilled his work, although in some party it had difficulties.

 

Something that also one attributes the young player to him is its excess of impetus. Season 2005/2006, in the 15 parties of League that played, saw 9 yellow cards and was expelled in an occasion. In November of 2006 Fernando it was shuffling the opportunity to play with the Venezuelan selection of soccer, to delay of which the trainer of the selection (Richard Páez) summoned it in a concentration with the Vinotinto.

 

Although according to fifa it cannot be called by vinitinto by to have played previously with the inferior seleciones of Spain.

That's good to know.

Erm... he's a left sided centrehalf. Really tall, dominates the air. Not very slow but not quick either and he has got decent experience for a 22 year old.
