craig 5,199 Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 Skysports is quoting Gravesen as saying he has agreed to join Celtic. TBH his signing doesn't really bother me. I think he is a good player but not someone to be feared 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trailio 0 Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 I don't think you can deny he is a quality midfielder but it's certainly not value for money. �£2 mil and 40K per week wages for a 30 year old:admin: It reminds me of some of the crazy signings we made a few years ago. They will learn. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

craig 5,199 Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 Just read on SSN that he's joined up with the Denmark squad without agreeing a move to the manky mhob! Yeah but sky sports website quotes him as sayign he, his agent and Celtic will make an announcement today - even though he is back with the Danish squad. I still don't fear him and, as is said, I am actually pretty glad that they are spending as much on him as they are - 2 mill plus all those wages, and then other players will not be happy about him getting so much more than them - I will take Clement any day 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
