Poulson to join for 4m

[paddyberger15]

Looks like I'm just about the only one who's going to be quite pleased about this signing. he has some Mongrel about him and patrols well.

If we play something like a 4-1-4-1 system, he is ideal. He allows Gerrard to drive forward more and it lets Cole do what he is best at.

I know nothing about him, looking forward to seeing him play.

Your not alone! I'm really happy and think he's a bargain!

 

My only worry is that the prem is tough on the old legs. Playing every game will almost certainly be too much for him but, as a solid back up! Now that's a deal I'd snap you hand off for.

 

Just hope he Is back up and not the replacement for masch we need someone else too.

Yep, pretty much how I see it Comrade. I wouldn't want him playing more than 25-30 games maximum per season, but he knows his way around and I think he will do a decent job for us. People talk about him possibly being a bit of a liability and a sending off waiting to happen, so is Mascherano at times. Masch can either be an asset or a liability depending on his mood.

I remember him fondly from his Sevilla days. That team was playing some of the best football in Europe at the time.

[Trucker Paddy]

£2.5m on Luke Young

£2m on Brad Jones

£4m on Poulsen

£2m on Danny Wilson

 

You could get a good left back for that, which we need the most.

 

He did'nt sign you know, anyway regarding the leftback I agree we need a decent one asap, so lets hope Insua fucks off and it'll go towards getting one.

[danperkins]

Hopefully he can adapt to the pace and tempo of the league, personally i think every team needs a few hard liners, i'll reserve judgement on the lad and give him and Roy the benefit of the doubt and cheer him on.

[Arl arse]

Is this about the right time when we all start pretending he is our favourite player and that we've been monitoring his progress for a few seasons & that we've always thought he was very under rated?

Good a time as any I guess

In one my man.

[Xherdan]

He will be the new cult hero after the derby and manc games. Plus if he and masch play on Sunday behind torres, gerrard, cole and aquilani we will beat them.

Confirmed by Juventus now.

 

Juventus Football Club announces that an agreement has been finalized with Liverpool F.C. for the disposal of the registration rights of the player Christian Poulsen for a consideration of € 5.475 million to be paid in two instalments: € 2.725 million immediately upon the execution of the contract and € 2.75 million on 1 July 2011. Deferred payment is covered by a bank guarantee.

 

This operation generates a non significant capital gain in the 2010/2011 financial year.

 

The consideration for the disposal may increase by a further maximum of € 1.2 million on achieving given sports performances in the course of the duration of the contract

[Seemann]

It's confirmed om Danish Tv2.news as well.

 

I guess Mascherano is well on his way out since we finally have found the money to buy Poulsen? Suppose the £20 mill will go to Konchesky, Crouch and Poulsen. With the exception of Crouch adding something different I really can't see any improvement in all this?

 

And of course Insua will have to leave for Konchesky to come in and probably Cavalieri for Jones at £3 mill. There should be more money available, but I'm not counting on that knowning the shit we're in.

 

It's just so very avarage.

 

How the hell did we get Cole and convince Gerrard and mainly Torres to stay on?

Maybe those players don't have your psychic abilities. Difficult to see. Always in motion is the future.

Lets hope so

[Red Banjo]

Underwhelmed. Massively.

 

I guess the rumours about Defour wanting another season at Liege must be true then, and even so - this seems like a panic buy to me. £4.5m for another 30 year old i just cannot understand. IF we lose Mascherano now - we had better put the money to better use than Crouch.

[MLB]

Another massively uninspiring signing, but certainly a lot better than Brad Jones.

[hamstrung]

Even when playing in goal, sadly.

[Warwick Hunt]

Can't understand everyone moaning about these signings. Seem perfectly sensible to me under the circumstances.

 

 

Lets sign Buffon and De Rossi instead then "coz we're like soooooooo minted innit"

[Xherdan]

An uninspiring signing? What the fuck do you expect? We are on the verge of administration for fuck sake.

[RedinSweden]

Whenever I have seen him (which is not loads i grant you), he has seemed decent. He is 30, which is a tad older than I would have liked, but for 4.5 or whatever, this could turn out well. I certainly won't be having a go at this sort of signing, because this is very much the market we are in. Looking forward to seeing him play.

[myrlas]

Hopefully this isn't Hodgsons way of undermining Lucas' development.

[Dave D]

An uninspiring signing? What the fuck do you expect? We are on the verge of administration for fuck sake.

 

Is absolutely right. Given the circumstances I think he's a good signing. I sometimes wonder what all the "massively underwhelmed" brigade seriously expect?

 

It would seem if he's not cost 15m+ he must be crap.

 

He strikes me as the type that will give his all for team. Time will tell. At least give the guy your support

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

Seems like it could turn out to be an astute purchase. I'd have preferred a 22 year old £67m superhero, but this'll do pig. He's a bit of a chopper at times, so this league might even suit him more.

No one is saying we are loaded, that doesnt mean we have to be overjoyed at signing players who clearly arent that good though. Nothing wrong with still having a bit of ambition.
