Gigli: Fans Will Love Poulsen
Juventus President Giovanni Cobolli Gigli is confident that the club’s fans will soon fall in love with imminent new signing Christian Poulsen.
The Bianconeri are well known to be in the market for a top class centre midfielder, and this has seen them pursue the likes of Alberto Aquilani, Xabi Alonso, Dejan Stankovic and Xabi Alonso.
However, according to reports in the Italian press this morning, it seems that it will be Sevilla hardman Christian Poulsen who will be arriving in Turin, and a deal could be completed as early as today.
The Juve fans have been very vocal in who they believe the club should sign, and have made it clear that Xabi Alonso is their first choice. The tifosi have also declared their opposition against Inter man Stankovic.
Old Lady President Gigli believes that the fans will take to Poulsen, if he does indeed complete his transfer from Sevilla.
“The fans will like a midfield warrior [like Poulsen],” said Gigli.
“In football there is quality, but let us not forget the quantity also."
Juve have so far signed Dario Knezevic, Olof Mellberg and Amauri this pre season.
