Ah right, I don't remember Aurelio being part of many match-day squads that season but fair enough. Yeah, Benayoun was a fine signing as well.
Always felt a bit sorry for Aspas, he signed the season when we had Suarez, Sterling and Sturridge tearing things apart so it was always going to be difficult for him. Shame he's remembered for a bad corner by some but he's clearly had a strong career in Spain so good for him.
We've had some smashing left backs this century: Riise, Aurelio, Robertson. Aurelio didn't quite have the athleticism or durability of the other two, but by God, he was a bloody good player. Scored a delicious free kick at Old Trafford and a really cheeky one at Stamford Bridge.
Yeah, I feel bad for Aspas, too. Ironically, if we'd signed him a season later, with no Suarez and an injured Sturridge, he could've slotted in really nicely and done well for us. More of a goal threat than Borini and more mobile than Balotelli and Lambert.
Also, another one who didn't win anything: Ryan Babel. Infuriatingly inconsistent but you could see there was talent there.
And who could forget the amazing Andriy Voronin?
