As a Liverpool fan, I’d much rather pick up Mathieu Flamini than Christian Poulsen. Flamini was always a player who I’d watch closely while he was at Arsenal and his ability to play as a fullback would be quite useful for the oft-injured team.
That being said, Steven Defour would be a dream pickup for the Reds. Defour has an offensive aspect to his game that Mascherano never had or will have, and he’s able to fill in as any center midfield position. He’d obviously be better suited as a box to box CM, but he’s not a bad pickup to pair with someone who tends to take a more offensive role like Aqua. Especially if we cash in on Lucas.
Ryan, I totally agree. As a Spurs fan, I’d take Flamini over Poulsen any day.
i seriously wonder how poulsen made it this far as a professional footballer. the guy’s as wooden as can be. flamini i rate highly, he’s far too under appreciated at milan. probably cos of their hierarchy bullshit which says gatusso>ambrosini>flamini. should be other way around.
I thought the bin dippers were skint and couldn’t afford anyone…
