you're stating it as if Poulsen is a bag of shit...he may not be WC, but he is a damn good player, we just haven't seen it yet...and if you know Juve, you would know that we for the most part make WC players, not buy them...I daresay the top teams qould be quietly jealous to see an excellent player like Poulsen on the Juve bench
Poulsen is not a bad player but he has so far failed to prove himself at Juve. He earns to high of a wage to barely play and his market value is high enough that if sold we could find a replacement. Getting rid of and replacing poulsen is not that important he is an alright backup and a new RB is more important.

Who do you suggest we replace Poulsen with then?
Don't know right now, we will have to wait until January to see how much $ juve has and what players are available

One hell of a bench player, but on a serious side maybe a younger or less defensive more creative central midfielder. Originally I thought Poulsen could help offensively because in the past his passing and long ball skills have been fairly impressive but he rarely shows that at Juve

i guess i'm just a hater amongst patrons
You are not a hater really, Genoa are a real good team on the up, that play nice and balanced football. But they are mainly a home team, thats the essential difference, between the cream and those just below it, Genoa are as close as you can get to a top 4 level, despite way lower budget, but essentially, they can only be counted on when they start getting the results way from home. They easily could have gotten the CL spot last year, in last 5 or so games, IF they could win away from home, they simply choked as hell simply for playing away.

But indeed, they are a promising team.

Genoa is no joke, and they play a good brand of football. I've been pretty impressed with their performances. And let's face it, they have a really good coach and stable ownership. To me, that is a team that you would want to see do well.

An orginization that is run the right way
They also seem to have a knack with youngsters. Our youngsters. Or, at least know how to not upset them.

Perhaps there are some individuals in Genoa we may wish to speak with? Maybe?

@ delpiero06

you do realise that we have FOUR players than can play RB?
Ok, it doesn't matter if their all mediocre as long as we have four of them?
You do know that when one is playing simply having the others doesn't make him better don't you? Whatev its not like you need good RB's unless your system is a 4-3-1-2 with limited creativity from the central midfielders.

3rd place? I doubt it, with the seemingly imminent downfall of both Roma and Milan I think Fiorentina will finish third and Genoa have a shot at fourth. But it is still way to early in the season to count out both Roma and Milan. They have both played very poorly but no matter how impressive Genoa look we all know how hard it is for a mid table club to displace a regular domestic giant in the top 4. It rarely happens and despite Genoa's good form it will be extremely tough for any mid table team to finish above two of Milan, Roma, and Fiorentina.

I'm still having a hard time understanding what happened to Milan,
I mean how can a bunch of world class players (passed their prime, but still) let themselves go like this.

Its hard to believe but we are only three matches into the season. Milan are not in the scudetto race but they have all the time in the world to improve and finish in the top four.

See: the circumference of Ronaldinho's ass.

Actually, three matches into the season and they're already being written off? That's the biggest mistake of all.

I just know that game against Genoa is midweek match. Is Europa League start this week? If so, Genoa will tired too. They just have advantage only because they don't have many players played at NT match last week
