#4 Christian Poulsen
More of some good ol’ Roy Hodgson days. It is actually unbelievable how bad Liverpool’s managers back then were when it came to signing players. While Rafa Benitez himself made a lot of terrible signings, Hodgson took it to another level with his incompetence at finding decent players.
Back then, Juventus were going through their banter era and had Christian Poulsen in their team. If you choose a player at random from the current Juventus team, there is an 80% chance that the said player would be a good.
Back then, though, it wasn’t the case. Indeed, if you randomly chose one back then, there would be an 80% chance that the said player would be below-par – and that was precisely the case with Christian Poulsen.
Signed for £4.5 million from Turin, the midfielder lasted just the one season and played 12 league games in the process. He was sold off to Evian for an undisclosed fee – which means it wouldn’t be surprising to see Liverpool the other club to get rid of him.
