Noel's gone ahead and capped a busy summer by churning out some unparalleled deadline day
coverage, and if you're just coming back into the fray, scrolling down is an absolute necessity.
From Tuesday's confirmation that Sebastian Coates had arrived to the exit of Raul Meireles last
night, the club's transfer activity was covered incomparably.
Noel's gone ahead and capped a busy summer by churning out some unparalleled deadline day
coverage, and if you're just coming back into the fray, scrolling down is an absolute necessity.
From Tuesday's confirmation that Sebastian Coates had arrived to the exit of Raul Meireles last
night, the club's transfer activity was covered incomparably.
Christian Poulsen has revealed he was persuaded to leave Liverpool by Evian coach Pascal
Dupraz.
The 31-year-old was signed by former Liverpool coach Roy Hodgson for £4.5million from Juventus
last season.
Poulsen arrived at Anfield with an impressive reputation but struggled to find his best form at
Liverpool.
For whatever reason, Christian Poulsen has been a regular whipping-boy for Liverpool fans over the
last year. He has constantly been labelled 'not good enough', and generally treated with
disrespect. This is totally unfair because, as I will illustrate, Poulsen had a positive impact for
Liverpool overall.
Is the only criteria that matters that the club now appears to have owners who aren't interested
in bleeding it dry? How much of a damper does the last minute sucker punch of Meireles to Chelsea
alter things? And are you too deliriously happy that Philipp Degen is finally gone to think
straight?
Certainly the club went hard for their targets early on—Henderson, Adam, and Downing—but
opinion on the particular costs and merits of each of the trio remains somewhat less than
universal.
Poulsen expects regular role
Danish midfielder Christian Poulsen is thirsty for first-team action with new club Evian after
the international break.

Steven Gerrard has praised Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish for replacing high-earning fringe players
such as Joe Cole, Milan Jovanovic and Christian Poulsen with 'hungry' new talent during the
transfer window.
The club captain has suggested Anfield will be a better place without squad misfits such as Cole,
who has joined big-spending French side Lille on a season-long loan - in turn freeing up the former
Chelsea man's rumoured £90,000-a-week wages for new recruits.
It is said that you learn more in defeat than you do in success. In Liverpool's case, they will
have learned a lot from Saturday's defeat at the hands of Stoke City. So fickle is football these
days, that following three straight victories, there was heightened talk of a possible title push
this season.
