Would you want Poulsen?
He'd be a huge upgrade over what we have. Would definitely take him.

I chose Essien and I will always choose Essien over Messi and I don't care if you think that I'm totally out of my mind.
Actually for Arsenal i'd choose Essien over Messi too. For two reasons:

1) When everybody's fit, our offense is rather strong

2) We have no real ball winner in midfield, and that has been the biggest reason for our downfall more times than once this season.


But when i think in Juve's context. You guys have Momo who is a monster tackler, and the upcoming Marchisio. I do think you're out of your mind when you choose Essien over Messi :D

    I thought you are one of those who "stick to their word", that's why.

    It is not a matter of "sticking to the point"... I know your view and the type of football you admire the most... taking this in consideration I can expect you to pick Essien ahead of Messi.

    Not that I agree with your choice or think it is logical.

    why are people consistently bashing Poulsen? look at him for his performances, not in the "I wish we had Alonso" context...he has hardly featured in the team due to injuries and Marchisio's outstanding form...honestly I think he will turn out to be a very good signing for us

    To some extent yes, but I like Grosso anyways. He gave me goosebumps once, I believe he can do it again. I don't believe any player can guarantee a title for Juve so I picked the one I like best.

    They would be in mine. Man U will still do great I think without CRonaldo.
    Man U can do without Ronaldo in big games. To be fair, I find him to be better this season than last season because there is an improvement in the games against the strong teams, although he has scored less this term. Putting Park or Nani in wouldn't make such a big difference. In the league though, Man U needs to put away the easy games and that is what Ronaldo is very good at.

    I like Poulsen. He was the one who made the long pass to Iaquinta to assist in the first goal isn't it? However, many fans are asking him to leave and Arsenal needs a DM, so I popped the question.

    If I was purchasing based upon our current needs (but with the fantasy twist, of course), it would be Douglas Maicon - simply because RB is our worst position, and I haven't seen another RB who I rate higher than Maicon ATM. Too bad he plays for our nemesis...

    Otherwise, if it's just for an out and out fantasy purchase, it's Messi... all day, everyday. He's definitely taking the Ballon D'Or this season... and he's still 21.
