Poulsen seems like the bargain price replacement for Masch with Meireles
seeming more like a cheaper replacement for Aqualani.

As far as why Hodgson plays a particular player where he does overlooks
the point that Reina and Torres are almost the only ones that he hasn't
played out of position so far.>

I remember we used to say similar about Ged! Seems to be the modern manager thing, buying a player who was great in a certain position, and playing him in a different position!
