Christian Crapsen

That's still a loan option though, if he plays very well we still have the right to refuse a sale.

I hope.

So changing Crapsen with Aquaman strengthen one of our main rivals for the Europe League by miles!

techincally we changed aqualini wih meireles and poulsen with mash.
 
I'm disappointed with Poulsen as he's been rubbish so far; but we've replaced a top quality DM with someone who's being kept out by Sissoko. This was alwasy on the cards.

If Hodgson couldnt get a good DM he should have just changed the formations with Gerrard and Meireles.

Indeed. Brendan's theory that Poulsen is the worst defensive midfielder in the world suggests he's worse than Lucas!! Poulsen is an abysmal player but still 10 times better than Lucas.
 
playing 4-5-1 with alonso and mash/momo/didi makes sense as you have two holding midifleders but one of them is a creator.

playing 4-5-1 with two out and out holding midfielders who are incapable of creating is plain daft as it puts pressure on the wide players to create and our wide players aren't wingers.

Based on the fact he can make the occasional forward pass that reaches our own player. It's rare but it happens, which is more than can be said for Lucas.

He doesn't give away stupid free kicks every other minute, he can occasionally pass to a team mate, he tackles marginally BETTER than my 6 year old niece.

That line is thinner than oneof your pubehairs!!!!
 
It seems Juventus has a good central midfield. Marchisio, Filepe Melo, Aquilani and Sissoko...

They are probably laughin at our idea of giving them aquilani on a free and taking poulsen back at a price..

And Sissoko played very well last night in their 1-1 draw at City. Momo had his weaknesses (i.e. ball control) but pisses on Poulsen & Lucas from a height in terms of effectiveness.

Poulsen actually kept Sissoko out mate.

Anyways he's been totally underwhelming so far but seriously most of our players have. Oncy said elsewhere that Gerrard is the only player so far who can hold his head up. I almost agree although I do believe Meireles have had a decent enough start. Konchesky for me has looked completely lost and he's even the one who's supposedly familiar with the style of play. Not very promising.

Imagine had we just bought Torres we'd all be seriously worried as he's looked nowhere near his best form either. And sadly for quite some time now ever since his very mediocre to crap WC.

Everyone is feeling the pressure and there's no real belief in the squad these days which obviously isn't helping any of the newcomers. Poulsen included.

I've been as downhearted by our performances so far as the next man but we simply has got to give Roy and the new players at bit more time to try and prove themselves. Everything else would not be in the right spirit.
 
Roys defeatist comments are really starting to fucking irritate me. It's easy Roy - "it's not good enough, we're not playing to our potential and we need to work harder and do better."

You are aware that apart from Poulsen out Aquilani in that's the exact same midfield as last year in a Season where they were completely underwhelming?

I'd swap Melo even though he probably was their worst midfielder last Season for Lucas but the rest:

Been there, tried that, didn't work.

Not recently he didn't, though my sources tell me Juve fans would have preferred to see Poulsen keep his place.

Part of the problem is the Lucas conundrum. Even Masher suffered from having to play alongside him and Poulsen, I'm afraid, isn't half the player Masher is.

'conundrum' suggests there isnt a solution.

There is, shoot the fucker.
 
poulson might keep his place in an italian league but this is the premiership. footballers are known to occasionally run here.

no idea why grandpa bought him. he didn't have to!

Cheers mate perhaps it was before he got injured mid-Season then.

Anyways I still don't think Roy is betting all his money on Lucas. Injuries, form and the compressed fixturelist so far has given him a lot of playing time but there has been early indications that he won't feature when everyones fit and ready. I'll keep my fingers firmly crossed that's indeed the case.
 
Roy is completely out of his depth like a fish out of water!

Oh dear, these are dark days for us supporters. If its not the off field crisis, then its an onfield crisis. Wish I could see the light at the end of the tunnel!
 
Poulsen is right up there with Diao with one of the worst players to ever play for this club.

He cannot pass the ball 5 yards.

What a silly, wrong and completely premature post.
 
He's too old to suddenly blossom and flourish in the Premier League.

What you see is what you get.

Even the Juve fans thought he was shite, and that was in Italy - a league where Steven Hawking could be considered a competitive DM.
