Isn't that the guy Juve signed instead of Alonso and who ended up being shit?
Sky Sports News understands Liverpool are closing in on the signing of Juventus midfielder Christian Poulsen.
Juve are open to the sale of the Denmark international and a number of sides have been linked with an interest in his services.
Premier League duo Fulham and Everton are among those clubs said to be admirers of the 29-year-old.
But it is believed that Rafa Benitez's Liverpool are in pole position to secure Poulsen's signature.
It is speculated that the Reds' move for Poulsen could be linked with Xabi Alonso's uncertain future, amid interest from Real Madrid.

I like what I saw of him when he was at Schalke. IMO, he's more a 'Mascherano-type' of player. If he does come, I don't think its as a direct replacement for Alonso. At a decent price, he'll be a good signing.
if we sign this cunt, then i'm gonna boo him every time he gets the ball.

29?? I can't believe we'll be signing a 29 year old unless he's cheap enough to come as cover for the frail Aquilani.

I'm a bit bemused, but isn't he only a year older than Xabi?
Hopefully he's cover, and maybe we're covering all angles with speculation over both Lucas and Masher.

Apparently he was born in 1980. I'm surprised.

Yeah, I think he's 29. If memory serves, he did so badly at Juve that he lost his place in the team (including to Sissoko).
Can anyone confirm this?

Haha, where the fuck is the_khl when you need him?
He'd make us all feel that Poulsen is better than Alonso, or something like that 😉

I really liked him at seville too but def not an alonso type player at all, he's as you say a masher type player and no replacement for Xabi.

Well said mate.
The vital part here is that he has got to come on cheap otherwise we should stay well clear.
He's not as big a physical presence or as quick as Masher and he doesn't pass and read the game as well as Alonso.
He's better than both in the air and is probably as strong in his tackles.
Overall I'd be very surprised to see this transfer but as a cheap back-up option for Masher he'd be decent I reckon. NEVER as a straight Alonso-replacement.
I won't believe for one minute that's our intention.
