Daniel Agger has hailed his international team-mate Christian Poulsen as a “perfect addition” to the Liverpool squad if he signs for the Merseyside club. Speaking to the Liverpool Echo, he said:
“Christian would be a perfect addition to most of the big clubs in Europe, so he will certainly fit in here. He is a top player and will make us stronger. We need to have big signings so we can compete and he is one of those players. Christian will improve the team. But we need more improvements if we want to be at the top of the league this season.”
Agger does believe however that Poulsen will need time to adapt to the speed of the English game:
“Maybe he will find the pace of here a bit of a culture shock. He will have to get used to the extra high tempo. He has played in Italy, Spain and Germany and done very well, so I don’t see any reason why he shouldn’t be a success with Liverpool. We have Mascherano but it looks like he is leaving so there is a gap there.“
I think Daniel is a bit biased because as a footballer Poulsen doesn’t tie mashes shoe laces.
