140 & 10- Tomas Rincon won the most tackles (140) and made the most assists (10) among the Genoa's players in Serie A since 2014/15. General
''An aggressive, hard-working, and tactically versatile defensive midfielder, with good technique, Poulsen is known in particular for his tenacious tackling. Although he usually plays in a holding midfield role, he is also capable of being deployed in more advanced midfield positions.''

He seems to be competent at least. I dont think he could be a downgrade from the nanes.

Its a shame he is 28 years old. We can get at least a god 4 years from him i guess?-

It's clear the guy is a pitbull and does a lot of dirty work.

It's also clear he's a cheap signing, mostly because his salaries are probably relatively low.

Don't know about his technical skills though. He must be better than Sturaro or be able to naturally play DM when Marchisio can't.

It's definitel a low risk bet. Not sure about the reward, though. If it's also low, I don't like this. But if he shows technical skills enough to put him ahead of Sturaro, it's good enough. Have to wait to judge. If he can be a decent rotation piece (really decent), it's OK.

Let's say the total cost of the deal is 10m, we sell hernanes for 6m then for diffrence of 4 mil imo is not a bad deal.
I have another idea. Sell Hernanes for 6 mio, and dont use the money to buy another 28/29 year old shitty CM. Instead invest the money and add some more,and invest in someone who would make a difference either now or in the future. Add another 20 mio. and get Kessie, add 25 mio. and get Dahoud.

Kessie has talent but our managment has blocked a potential arrival due to his disciplinary problems.

Dahoud is a good shout for the future but he is not what we need right now. We need physicality and power in the midfield, not another fancy creative midfielder.

So for our needs at this current moment, Rincon does the job at a reasonable price. We are getting rincon to fullfill our needs not because we can't afford other midfielders. I'm sure our managment have an idea of talents like tielemans, dahoud etc... and will likely pounce on one just like they did with dybala,sandro, pogba, rugani etc....

What disciplinary problems?

And we have one creative CM and since our coach insist on playing 4 CMs it would probably be a good idea to invest in one more, instead of giving on of our CM spots to an absolutely useless player. Have you ever seen him play?
Hes is a 28 year old midtable material CM with no notworthy skills, and you want us to pay 8 mio for him.

What evidence of disciplinary problems?


You're the second person I've heard say that. Is it true or newspaper bs?
It could be newpaper bs or just a cover up. I think the 25m+ price and the fact that altalanta want to keep him until the summer has a more to do with it.

Have you seen sturaro, asa and hernanes play?

He is a fysical beast, with much better technique than sturaro. His skills are very much needed in our midfield

Marchisio and Pjanic are our "creative" playmakers. Rincon again is a quick fix; there is a lack of whysical appearance in our midfield since vidal and pogba left. there aren't any other midfielders around with similar characteristics unless u pay 25m+, which is why i think marotta will wait until the summer for another good CM.

Let's not kid ourselves. He sucks.

Hamburg got his 7 years younger version for 750,000 and Genoa got him for free. If we are going to pay anything more than a million, guess what happened?

club got robbed AGAIN.

This is a very similar situation to Hernanes in 2015. Hernanes is not a WC player but he did a job for us especially when marchisio was out. This transfer is just to fullfill the needs we need now.

We need to improve not keep the same players or similar to them in our midfield when clearly something isn't right there.
