And not a James Perch or Christian Poulsen in sight Yes, we have only had seven games of the Premier League season, and yes it is the beginning of October. Even so, during the summer transfer window 120 players were signed by Premier League clubs. Who has impressed so far? 10. Ali Al-Habsi – Wigan [.

Rumours swirling around the internet this morning are suggesting that Liverpool's new owners NESV are weighing up taking the £3 million hit it would take to release current manager Roy Hodgson back into the wild thus clearing the way to install Frank Rijkaard at the Anfield helm.

It would appear fairly certain that Javier Mascherano will leave Liverpool before the transfer window shuts at the end of the month which would then leave Roy Hodgson on the look-out for a new midfielder.

Plenty of names have already been linked with a move to Anfield in recent weeks and if you believe some reports, Liverpool are close to signing Juventus midfielder Christian Poulsen.

Javier Mascherano now appears likely to stay at Anfield. The Argentinian defensive midfielder has not suddenly had a change of heart, there was no dramatic last minute reverse to his earlier plea to leave. Javier Mascherano is set to stay at Liverpool Football Club because of money, or more appropriately the lack of it.

Dud deals Following hot on the heels of yesterday's best signings, here is the worst signings of the season so far. The Premier League transfer market dabbling which currently look like the buying clubs involved were ripped off. 1. Laurent Koscielny Arsene Wenger spent relatively big on his defence this summer, not least £8.

News today in the Daily Star that Newcastle want to bring in Juventus midfielder Christian Poulsen, on loan for next season. Christian Poulsen - Newcastle interested in Juventus midfielder Since it's a loan deal we suspect that the age doesn't matter and the 30 year-old central midfielder could provide some significant skills in the middle of the [.

We just watched the Cameroon vs Denmark game, in which quite a few former Newcastle players and Magpie targets, played in the game. Vincent Aboubakar 18 year-old Cameroon International Jon Dahl Tomasson played at center-forward for Denmark and supposed loan target for next season Christian Poulsen played in midfield for Denmark but it was [.

Liverpool today confirmed the signing of Danish international Christian Poulsen from Juventus for an initial fee of £4.8 million. The new Liverpool number 28 will pave the way for Javier Mascherano's departure from Anfield, effectively coming in as a cut-price replacement for the want-away Argentine.

Liverpool have confirmed the signing of 30 year Danish Midfielder Christian Poulsen from Juventus. Liverpool were after a replacement for Javier Mascherano who is likely to leave the club, and Roy Hodgson sees the tough Danish man as the ideal replacement. Capped 77 times for his country, Poulsen has signed for £4.

In the English Premiership Arsenal won away at Ewood Park against Blackburn Rovers, one of the tougher fixtures in the domestic season. They did so largely thanks to Theo Walcott who continued the fine form he displayed last week, when he scored a hat trick against Blackpool, scoring today with a cracking finish to open the scoring.

Liverpool:

Team sheet when it's released.

Following on from my take on the situation at Liverpool yesterday an ex-coach has voiced his verdit on what's happened there and let's just say he hasn't held back. Jacques Crevoisier who worked under Gerard Houllier for two seasons has spoken out and his comments are published in The SUN this morning.

There has been widespread criticism of the Bianconeri board and its directors yet there are some obvious aspects which have been overlooked by the reporters and fans alike. The Juve management has actually erred in allowing Pavel Nedved to retire, in hiring Cirro Ferrara to lead the team and in their choice of players brought in to Turin.

In a daunting looking group alongside Holland, Cameroon and Japan, Denmark's path to the later stages of the World Cup 2010 appears far from comfortable.

But with a sturdy group of players, good team spirit and in Morten Olsen one of international football's longest-serving managers, Denmark may well surprise an upset or two.

With star striker Nicklas Bendtner already thrown out of London nightspot Boujis last year with his trousers around his knees, the worry for Denmark ahead of their fourth World Cup finals campaign is that the coming month will leave them further exposed.

Morten Olsen, now in his tenth year as national coach, can rely on a relatively solid back line marshalled by Liverpool's Daniel Agger and – knee problems permitting – the hugely promising 21 year-old Simon Kjær, coming from a second straight outstanding season at Palermo.

Group E is one of the deepest groups in the World Cup as each nation will believe that they have the ability to advance to the knock out stages.

The Netherlands have always relied on their attacking flair and in 2010, the story remains the same as Wesley Sneijder and Robin Van Persie lead a fierce dutch attack.

Premier League giants Liverpool are looking to sign Christian Poulsen from Italian powerhouse Juventus, according to a report in Italy.
Tuttocalcionews.it reports that the Reds want to sign the Danish international and are ready to barter Dirk Kuyt in exchange.
The Bianconeri are looking to sell one of their central midfielders to make room in their transfer and wage budgets to invest in other departments, and it appears they would be willing to listen to enquiries from Roy Hodgson's side.

Former Arsenal midfielder Mathieu Flamini is on Liverpool's list of possible replacements for Javier Mascherano.
Roy Hodgson has been offered Danish international Christian Poulsen by Juventus.
But the Frenchman has four years of experience in the Premier League before joining Milan on a free transfer in 2008.

Juventus and Danish defensive midfielder Christian Poulsen, are expected to sign on at Liverpool next week. The 30-year-old has been a long time target for Liverpool boss Roy Hodgson, who helped launch his career at one of Denmark's biggest teams in F.C. Copenhagen.

While Hodgson was at Fulham he was trying to get Poulsen to Craven Cottage.

Liverpool have confirmed a deal to bring Danish midfielder Christian Poulsen to Anfield for a fee of almost €5.5 million.

The arrival of the 30-year old Juventus player, who has formerly enjoyed a successful career at Sevilla as well, can finally allow Argentine midfielder Javier Mascherano to complete a move away from Merseyside.

Check out this video of Christian Poulsen against Kaka in a Champions League game against AC Milan, where his job was to mark Kaka out of the game. He puts in some decent challenges, along with a few kicks to let Kaka know he is there. Enjoy..

Christian Poulsen is no stranger to hard tackles and controversy, and this video of him punching Marcus Rosenburg shows he takes no prisoners! Sweden were winning 3-0, but Denmark got it back to 3-3, before Poulsen punched his opponent, only to be sent off. A penalty was awarded, but it was never taken as a fan [.

Liverpool manager makes his point concerning his player Javier Mascherano. Roy Hodgson opened up about his Argentine defensive midfielder and made it perfectly clear, that if a bid for Mascherano comes in from the team he wants to go to they will relcutantly consider it, even though he secured the services of Christian Poulsen, a similar type of player.

So the EPL season is upon us. Here are 10 players that have recently moved to the Premier League that we expect to have a big impact on their teams and league in general, in no particular order. Anyone that's not on the list. . . . Well there is a reason why!

Javier Hernandez-Manchester United, the young Mexican forward has already started scoring for the Red Devils, and is already dubbed the new Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

Roy Hodgson confirmed that Diego Cavalieri looks set to leave Liverpool - but...

Mention the 2009-2010 season to Juventus' 170 million fans and they will shake their head in disgust. Italy's most successful and beloved soccer team was a shell of itself, missing out on a European tournament spot due to poor play and aging players. It is not a coincidence that the Italian national team also failed to live up to expectations in the World Cup, as Juve players made up a large contingent of the team.

Liverpool head to Eastlands on Monday night to take on a Manchester City side that has invested over £129m this summer, on the talents of Yaya Toure, James Milner, Mario Balotelli, David Silva, Aleksandar Kolarov & Jermone Boateng.

Despite the players City have added to their squad and a tough opening day fixture against Arsenal, the Reds may find themselves facing Mancini's men at a good time, as the side is clearly going to take time to gel before any real fluency of football is played on a consistent basis and there was certainly evidence of that against a more established Spurs side that they struggled to keep at bay for the first 45mins last weekend.

Liverpool manager Roy Hodgson has confirmed he would like funds to strengthen his squad.
The Merseysiders have been busy in the transfer market this summer with Joe Cole, Christian Poulsen, Brad Jones, Danny Wilson, Milan Jovanovic, and Jonjo Shelvey all joining.
However, the ex-Fulham boss knows that with just one week left before the transfer window closes, the time left to strengthen is not the best period in which to splash the cash.

Maxi celebrates the winner for Liverpool...There were no horrors in store for Liverpool yesterday after their Halloween clash with Bolton Wanderers ended in a 1-0 win. The victory takes the Reds up into 12th and finally out of the relegation zone. Perhaps not a perfect performance and it did begin to get worrying as we got closer to the 90minute mark but refreshingly, the lads didn't give up and

For the first sixty minutes or so it seemed a familiar story, a return to the pre-Blackburn misery of an uninspired Liverpool playing deep and passive football without a single glimmer of hope to suggest they could achieve anything through their own merits. Carragher hoofed, Poulsen was shockingly bad, N'Gog was bereft of service, and half the side was playing out of their natural positions.

Carragher hoofed, Poulsen was shockingly bad, N'Gog was bereft of service, and half the side was playing out of their natural positions.

Liverpool manager Roy Hodgson has said the next two games will determine whether they are moving in the right direction.
The Reds have beaten Blackburn, Bolton and Chelsea and now sit ninth in the Premier League, facing two away trips - to Wigan and Stoke - in just three days.
"If we can do well in the next two games we'll continue to look up," Hodgson told the club's official website.

Nicklas Bendtner has been included in Denmark's international selection for the first time since the World Cup in the summer. Morten Olsen's select will face The Czech's in an interesting friendly next Wednesday.

Bendtner missed a couple of European Qualifiers due to the ongoing groin problem but it has now cleared, and he has been in action for The Gunners for a fortnight now scoring twice so far, against Manchester City & Newcastle Utd respectively.

Liverpool boss Roy Hodgson admits summer signing Christian Poulsen is 'devastated' by the poor start he has made to his Anfield career
The Danish international has conceded he has yet to show his best form since his summer arrival from Juventus as he is still adapting to life in England.
Poulsen was withdrawn to ironic jeers against Napoli in the Europa League at Anfield last week while his late introduction for Dirk Kuyt during Wednesday's 1-1 draw with Wigan was booed by some Liverpool fans.

Christian Poulsen could be set to end his Anfield nightmare by leaving Liverpool for former club Sevilla, according to reports.
Goal.com Spain comments that the Dane is unsettled at Merseyside and craves a move away from the Reds, with los Nervionenses emerging as front-runners to secure his signature.
