<span class="titolo">Liverpool Eye Bilbao Defender Amorebieta</span></p> <span class="sommario">According to reports, Liverpool are keeping an eye on Athletic Bilbao defender Fernando Amorebieta, with a view to signing him in the January transfer window.</span></p> Reports emanating from Spain suggest Rafa Benitez is monitoring the highly rated 22-year-old closely.</p> After a summer of spending it appears that Benitez still feels he lacks defensive cover, a point highlighted by the injury to Daniel Agger and Alvaro Arbeloa.</p> Despite the Spaniard not being happy with his back line, Liverpool have only conceded two goals from open play in the Premier League so far this season, the basis for their better-than-usual start to the campaign.</p> Amorebieta can play across the back line, and being versatile would appeal to Benitez who was unable to consolidate not bringing Gabriel Heinze to Anfield.</p> Bilbao are said to be keen to hold on to the youngster, but the lure of playing under Benitez at one of the biggest clubs in Europe could be too big to refuse.</p> </p> </p>
Yea, I haven't heard his name either. It says he's versatile, so he has to be good. (is young as well)</p>
<font face="Arial">We've only conceded3 goals from open play this year but we need to stop giving away penalties.</font></p>
Yea I wouldn't be worried about the defense. All they need is for the offense to click and everything else will come and they'll get wins.</p>
<font face="Arial" size="2">i agree they do need speedy defenders as Hypia can't be okay forever</font></p>
<font face="Arial">We're going through a bad run at the moment and I can't see anything that'll change it we just have to naturally let it pass. If this Amorebieta dude can add some goals like D.Agger then great.</font></p>
