Possible Wolves interest Graveson - TalkCeltic

From Sky Sports web page

Although his agents playing it down, lets hope his agents lying!!
Apparently this has been reported in local media in Wolverhampton also

Thomas Gravesen could be set to return to pre-season training with Celtic in a bid to reclaim his place at Parkhead.

Gravesen struggled to impress manager Gordon Strachan last season and was sent out on loan to former club Everton.

But the ex-Real Madrid player, who has one year to run on his current Celtic contract, also failed to reproduce the form of his first spell at Goodison Park.

It was, therefore, expected that Strachan would look to offload Gravesen this summer and that the Danish international would also be keen for pastures new.

Wolves interest

However, when asked if Gravesen would return to pre-season training with the Bhoys, the 32-year-old's agent John Sivebaek said: "I think so."

Rumour has suggested that Wolves boss Mick McCarthy is interested in securing Gravesen's services, but Sivebaek claims he has yet to receive any contact from the Championship club.

"I don't know, I've got no idea to be honest. I've not heard anything about Wolves," added Sivebaek.

Exactly what I was thinking mate.

He was brilliant for Everton, always getting in n' about the mix of games. Would like to see him come on to a game at Celtic but I don't think he will. Loaning him out was probably better in the long run but it didn't help the Celtic fans opnion about the player. At 32, I'd let him walk and cut our losses, he's taking up an enormous chunk of the wage bill.

If he wants to stake a claim for first team, let him, if he manages to oust, Hartley, Robson, Brown or even Donatti, I'll be surprised.

Wolves have just put there defensive midfielder Seyi Olifinjana on the transfer list. He has a clause in his contract that said if Wolves failed to win promotion last season then they would put him on the transfer list as per his wishes.

I like this guy looks a good player and reports say he´s available for around 1.75 mil as per his contract. Maybe a swap could be on the cards but maybe not.

I would suspect that if Olifinjana has a clause like that in his contract, its because he wants to play in the EPL. But, the draw of the Champions League is a strong one, so who knows. I really do think we need to cut or losses with Graveson now though, if possible without a compromise (swap deal).

Hmm a Celtic captain did not so long ago, I think asking a board full of Celtic fans was always going to get the answer you were looking for really

See if they'll take Donati too into the bargain

Was he? can't remember that. From what I remember we were pissed on most of the game scored a cracking freekick, he certainly didn't stand out.

All I remember is him running around in the midfield like a headless chicken doing nothing apart from finding himself out of position and ahead of the strikers. The guys a tool.

Lets be honest, does anyone care where he goes aslong as we get his wages of the weekly bill!!
Although wish him well for the future, he was definetly a character
