Juventus boss Claudio Ranieri says he turned down the chance to sign Liverpool midfielder Xabi Alonso in the summer because he is too slow.

Juventus, who signed Denmark's Christian Poulsen from Sevilla instead, currently lie 11th in Serie A with two wins from their first six matches.

Phew, good job he got Poulsen instead.
 
i know he is definatly a white nigerian
 
Poulsen is actually a very good (if dirty) player. So is Alonso though, dont think there is too much difference between them.
 
Yeh ive liked Poulsen sinse Euro 2004, he r0x. Not seen him play in ages
 
Bit harsh that. He'd do well there
