Poulsen sees his future at Anfield

[-Danny-]

Christian Poulsen says he is determined to stay at Liverpool and fight for his place, despite failing to hold down a first team place this season.

The Danish international midfielder was brought in by Roy Hodgson last summer, but weak performances has made him struggle to break into the first team – although he has made 21 appearances for the Reds.

Poulsen hasn’t been in action since the Reds went out of the Europa League to Braga in March.

He has been strongly rumoured to be one of the players on Kenny Dalglish‘s exit list this summer, but the 31-year-old believes there is a future for him at Anfield.

“Of course it’s been a difficult season for me,” he said. “I came under Roy Hodgson and halfway through the season he left but I have still had some good times here.

“I am feeling settled here with my family. I have three kids now and we had a baby in February who was born in Liverpool.

“What I miss of course is playing more but I hope the future will be brighter for me at Liverpool.

“I have two years of my contract left so yes I think my future will be here.”

Sorry mate but I hope Kenny doesnt.

Made me laugh anyway

you have to love him for trying but...

he's on the wrong side of 30, his passing is not particularly good, for a DM he can't tackle nor run fast enough to catch up on attackers, and in general doesn't offer enough going forward.

At least he got a kid here. Cheers, Poulsen. See you on the jet plane to Denmark

[Sick-Cinema]

I'd rather have him over Jova and Cole especially...

[gingeZizou82]

Ageing player on high salary in 'I don't want to take a pay cut' shocker.

[changeaname]

i can't figure out why he's come up with this, i can only assume he wants to hang on to his high wages for one more season.

[RideTheWalrus]

To be honest, I'm glad of this news. Shows there is loyalty left in the game still, and some good experience to bring on when needed.

[ooOPAZOoo]

He must go in the summer... Waste of money...

[-Danny-]

We should see if the Hodge wants him.

Yeah nothing to do with being 31 and on 50 odd grand a week eh, obviously he could get that elsewhere

[abhi8]

i only see his past and let me tell you its not very encouraging for the future to come......

are u related to him or just the most naive person in the world

[Flush]

He can't get into the CURRENT team...

[ANFIELDPHANTOM]

We should see if the Hodge wants him.

Thats a shout that lad ! and Konchesky !

[Tom-Machine]

Konchesky and Cole have three years left on their contracts, will they be here next season?

Hopefully the three of them will get one more chance to prove themselves, otherwise no they will be sold on.

The only thing it shows is that he is comfortable sitting on his arse picking up a relatively high pay package due to one) his lack of skill, ambition or playing prowess and two) his age

what ******* club are gonna be after him realistically? None

So hes happy to rot away on the bench while still making more money in two weeks than 99% of us would make in a year

[LfcGazza]

Not really a fan of his but maybe with a full pre season he can show a bit of form which got him here in the first place.

[uwillnevawalkalone]

I feel for him. He is not good enough, not his fault. I do think he would be class for the championship or maybe blackburn...


As for him thinking he can play for us next year.....he must be high on something- NOT A CHANCE

[bill-mccai]

It hasn´t worked for him. So show him a way out of Anfield.

[JohnnyZidane]

Bye bye Christian!. Shut the door when you leave.

[rayvonuk]

I always said it was going to prove hard to move on players on high wages.
Now i dont know his wage packet, but this could well be a reason he doesnt want to leave.

[iSerious]

waste of wages

[youllneverbeeralone]

Not really a fan of his but maybe with a full pre season he can show a bit of form which got him here in the first place.

wasnt he a bit part player at juve before joining us & then to add injury to insult we gave them aquilani for the year they must be still laughing in turin

[---LFC-Doyle---]

Oh God.

[ShayGuevara]

First out the door IMO.

[ManCrushOnSuarez]

It's nice to hear he's loyal to us, but sadly I can't see him staying here after the summer.

Is he loyal though .... OR .... Are his wages the reason he "Really" wants to stay.

[7SUAREZZZZZZZZZZZZ]

now I know you should never ever give up, but seriously poulsen, give up, it ain't gonna work

[highASakuyt]

he,l be waiting a long time if he wants to get into the 1st team lol ha ha ha ha

[ubadcat]

Ageing player on high salary in 'I don't want to take a pay cut' shocker.

Thats pretty much my thinking, that he just realises whatever club he's likely to move to isnt going to pay him close to what he's on here & as his career is in it's winter he see's his current contract as his last big pay day & want's to hang onto it.
