ian1964 10,720 Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 CELTIC seethed last night after Bobo Balde knocked back a move to Sunderland. The Guinea defender snubbed the chance to face Manchester United tonight in the Theatre of Dreams, choosing instead to continue pocketing �£32,000 a week for doing nothing. Celtic are desperate to get Balde off their payroll and were happy to agree a season-long loan deal with Sunderland boss Roy Keane. But the club's delight turned to fury when Balde - who has not played a first-team game since Boxing Day last year - KO'd the chance to kick-start his career. The player has made 229 starts since he signed for Martin O'Neill in 2001 but will continue to be the highest-paid spectator at Celtic Park. Unlike Balde, Kenny Miller grabbed the chance of Premiership football when he passed a medical and sealed a �£2.5million switch to Derby. The deal is smart business for Celtic who got him on a Bosman from Wolves last year. What a shame for the unwashed,dying to get him out of the piggery 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
