Christian Poulsen

Christian Poulsen arrived at Juve’s headquarters this afternoon to officially sign his contract, ending a few weeks of speculation. While my feelings on him are mixed, I’m glad Secco was able to negotiate fairly quickly. The rumors sprung up about a week and a half ago and somehow they are done. We paid the 9.75million euro release clause in his contract, and he signed a 4-year deal, earning 3million euros a year. That is one of the thing that bothers me, his salary. Only Buffon, Trezeguet, Nedved, Amauri, and Del Piero earn more. That’s right, he’ll be making more than Chiellini or CAMORANESI. Bullshit.

Poulsen is well known in the Boot, mostly for not-very-kind things, although I don’t know how Roma fans can be pissed at him. He instigated Totti, sure, but as much as I love Zizou he was very much in the wrong. If you didn’t know, at Euro2004 after some shittalk, Francesco majorly lost it and spat right on him, earning himself a 3-match ban. Not to goad the Romanistas any more than necessary, but you’ve never seen Alex lose it like that. The closest I’ve seen was this, back in Serie B, when a Pescara player took the dive of the century. Love Alex’s reaction to the ref.
