Dirty player but can do a job though. He was boss for Schalke and Seville, massive flop at juve though. He hardly played , they had Sissoko who could do the same job more effectively.
I remember how he riled up Kaka in the CL when he was with Schalke. Gave him and Kaka a torrid time at the Aufschalke . Gattuso finally met his match , Poulsen was not to be bullied. They hate him in Italy for reasons we are all aware of.
Still, for a skint(for) club like Liverpool and a rigid tactical man like Hodgson , he can do a destructive job in midfield and can distribute decently. Dirty , dirty word removed though , but he is the kind of player that is hated by everyone but appreciated by the team.
