I don't like Poulsen either, but if he's coming WITH alonso, then we're really doing a great job at the mercato. As far as i'm concerned, i'll stay tuned.
Remember that we gave away a DM (nocerino) and that we're left with one only DM (sissoko). With ranieri, who ALWAYS plays at least one DM, we NEED another DM, and i'm afraid to say that poulsen may even be a good solution then. I just read about seviglia possibly taking almiron and that would lower the price of poulsen to 3.5 million € (with 3mio salary). that's a decent deal...
I was against the signing of poulsen because i believed a regista (alonso) to be more important, but if both come, then i could live with that... We all have to keep in mind that we're playing 3 competitions, and that we have in our midfield Nedved, Camo and Zanetti, who are getting older an more injury prone / less fitter. Sissoko, who is suspension prone (and, as we see just now, also not 100% fit), and Marchionni and Giovinco, who are not very experienced. Someone like poulsen, who can do the dirty work is not that unnecessary.....
The only wish i have is to sign alonso along with whoever they want. I don't rate Alonso as the key to our success, because you have to keep in mind that he's benched in both pool and Spain NT, and they surely have a reason to. But Alonso could open up our midfield, and give us plenty of possibilities to rotate our midfield. I see giovinco for example better in cooperation with Alonso than without a CM...
We'll see. The media is going crazy right now about our transfers, and the first articles start to surface about what was hinted yesterday, that both will be coming. Ranieri said he wants the squad complete on Tuesday, and Tuesday is supposed to be THE day both are coming... we'll have to wait another few days.
I disagree, we dont need Poulsen if we sign Alonso and thats exactly what our managers said!!
If we sign Alonso, that means we will play with one DM and one CM.
We have Sissoko, Zanetti as pure DMs and Marchisio as a back up DM because he can be both DM and CM, the DM is fully covered!!
But the CM position is not that covered, with Alonso and Tiago?? as our main CM
and Marchisio and possibly Giovinco as back up solutions!
Since Giovinco is likely to play on our left wing helping Neddy, cause we have no other Left winger and Tiago is likely to go, we might need another back up CM, def not another DM
our DMs and CMs willl have to face the same numbers of competitions and the same quality of opposition. If we bring Alonso and use one DM and one CM,
wasting so much much money for Poulsen wouldnt be wise!!
But lets keep it real, we are buying one 10+mil midfielder,
it is either a DM or CM, the CM we are aiming for happens to be much better player than a random DM like Poulsen and if we get Alonso, he will change the way our team plays!
Poulsen will ruin our summer mercato, no matter how you see it, he is a bad choice from any view...
If money is such an issue for us, we better keep them and invest more and better when we will raise more, we shouldnt just waste them for the sake of it.
Poulsen's transfer is happening only for our managers to boast a transfer...
unless we retire our wingers and play a 4-3-3 with two DMs
