    Aye they're a good team. Being a rotation player for Atalanta isn't a bad thing at all.

    They’d probably beat ‘Celtic’?

    Oh aye, I wasn't saying that to suggest he's in a good place and shouldn't look to move. Just that being a rotation player for them doesn't mean he isn't a good player.

    Good that you haven’t seen him play, should be no surprises.

    £6m for a guy who can't get a game in one of the worst defences in Serie A, I'd be avoiding that, it's too much money to be spending on a fullback.

    I don't think they would at least not easily look at how udinese did against celtic Italian teams are tough most times I think 5 and half million is likely.... He's in the Belgian national team and they will want to recoup any money spent

    Conceded 25 and are 9th a think.... Worst defence has conceded 36.... So how is it the one of the worst defences in the league.... Six other teams have conceded more while another club has conceded 25 same as them not the best defence in serie a but not as you say the worst

    Atalanta are a pretty gung ho team as well, from what I've seen. Definitely not set up to keep clean sheets.

    He played in both games against Everton last season in the Europa league but then didn’t play in the last 32 against Dortmund. A lot of money to be spending on a right back, but as mentioned before with him being a Belgian international then you can see why he’s valued at that.

    My point is ‘Celtic’ should be ‘we’ or ‘us’.

    Definitely not the worst defence. Were on a run of 7 straight wins including a 4-1 mauling of Inter and twice in the lead against an on fire Juve yesterday. 2-2 in the end but Atalanta has been one of the big success stories in Serie A especially comparing budgets of others.

    Celtic target Timothy Castagne has revealed he wants a crack at England or Germany.

    The £6 million-rated Belgian defender is on Brendan Rodgers' wanted-list as they prepare to boost their squad through next month’s transfer window.

    Castagne looks set to quit Italian outfit Atalanta having grown frustrated at a lack of regular top-team opportunities.

    The Serie A side don’t want him to go, but the 23-year-old appears disillusioned with life under coach Gian Piero Gasperini.

    Celtic are in the race to capture him, but Castagne has revealed his first choice would be to go to either the Premier League or the Bundesliga if he gets the chance to leave Atalanta.

    He said: “I can see Germany and England, two competitions where it goes forward and there is less tactic than in Italy, as two competitions that attract me.”

    Castagne even joked that, if he could choose a national-team colleague to get him into a club, he’d pick Borussia Moenchengladbach.

    He said: “If I could ask a Red Devil to recommend me to their board, I think the Thorgan Hazard’s [Borussia] is a nice club and it is not too far from Belgium, either.”

    On a serious note, however, Castagne seems determined to go.

    He said: “It’s my second year [in Italy] and I have to play.

    “I do not want to have to say to myself every week: Maybe I’ll fall out of the team this week.”

    He’s * on Fifa anyway.

    We need good players based on Fifa.

    If he's already giving out soundbytes of wanting to go to the Bundesliga or Premiership then it's not a great encouragement to blow a whack of dough on the guy.

    Of course we can't be naive to think guys will play at Celtic for the whole of their career but we need guys to give us 2-3 years minimum before moving on. Sounds like he'd do a Stuart Armstrong and move on at the first whiff of another club being interested.
