Summer '09 Transfer Speculation Thread

[SpeedyG]

Just been watching some Poulson vids on youtube, i dont think we are going to win any friends with him in the team seems a right dirty bastard.

 

Is he any good at it though? Is he the intimidating type a la Souness or the sneaky, snidey type?

No problem at all with signing Poulsen as cover for Mascherano, but there's barely a single report of it in Italy at the moment. Doesn't mean it's not true, but there's only very rarely no fire without smoke.

Poulsen is utter shit and far behind Lucas and Spearing in quality, so i don`t believe in this rumour.

 

That's a bit odd , Judge.

 

Poulsen is an experienced international who has won UEFA Cup & European Supercup winners medals , been Danish player of the year twice , was voted best new foreign player in Spanish football by Marca in 2006 & signed by Juventus last summer for 10 million euros.

 

Lucas and Jay are young kids who might be good players in years to come.

It is far too say that he has been a flop at Juve though. If you're below Tiago in the pecking order then you know you've fucked up.

 

I wouldn't want us to sign him permanently straight away, as to be honest I don't rate him that highly, however I could see the case for signing him on loan with a view to a permanent move should he impress.

 

Poulsens agent has told the Italian press we're interested in him, but like someone said, there's fuck all in the Italian media today about it. Best to see tomorrow if there's anything in it.

Totti did spit in Poulsens face one time, sign him up.

Today is a sad day and Xabi will be sorely missed. However, am I alone in experiencing a frisson of excitement at the prospect of having a decent wedge for Benitez to spend?(assuming he gets it blah blah).

 

He must be licking his lips. With this sale + Arbeloa money + potential other sales + any residual cash + contractual freedom in the market, he now has the license to really make his stamp.

 

The title may be won or lost in Rafa's transfer decisions in the next month. I think he will relish the challenge. I'm both optimistic and right behind him.

I'm locking this thread and the Xabi one, as it's possible (probably even according to a post I read on the vb help forums) that they are contributing to the high server load. So I guess you'll have to post in the other Xabi thread, and start new ones for transfer speculation.
