Transfer Talk

A have heard we has a deal in place to sign wladimir klitschko as a target man.

Edit - Could have been vitali klitschko

 

I thought the same but didn't comment.

 

Really wanted Paul Dixon here and now Lennon has come out and said we're looking at getting a left back in. Everyone says 'what's the point as Ledley and Mulgrew can play there'. Fact of the matter is that it's the only place in the team where there isn't competition for a place. Ledley and Mulgrew can do a job there but the position is 100% Izzy's. He gets it too easy.

Pato risks Milan future by wearing Celtic shirt

AC Milan striker Alexandre Pato appears to have put his future at the club in further jeopardy after wearing an Celtic shirt on a television show.

Pato has not been included in Milan's last three squads after a reported argument with Massimiliano Allegri over the hitman being desperate for a move away from the San Siro to his boyhood heroes Celtic.

Good riddance! Allegri blasts Celtic-bound Pato for showing no respect

AC Milan boss Massimiliano Allegri has fired a parting shot to Alexandre Pato, blasting the Celtic-bound youngster for showing the club 'no respect'.

The 23-year-old was a controversial arrival from Internacional in 2007 when the Brazilian side accused the Serie A side of tapping up the teenager.

The Brazil international, who last scored for Brazil U-23 in a 3-1 victory over Belarus at the 2012 Summer Olympics, made his breakthrough into the Milan first-team in 2007 but has been forced to watch from the sidelines for the best part of a year due to a bad relationship with current boss Allegri.

 

AC Milan make complaint over Celtic's Pato pursuit

AC Milan have made an official complaint about Celtic's pursuit of Alexandre Pato.

UEFA this afternoon confirmed that the Milan club had raised the issue, which has left the Brazilian attacker's future at the club in a state of limbo ever since.

Pato has intimated his desire to leave the San Siro after six years folllowing the Hoops' initial interest, which Milan boss Massimiliano Allegri insists they have yet to follow up with an offer.

Neil Lennon confirmed Celtic's interest in Pato last week after New England Sports Network (NESN), the news outlet inaccurately reported that the 23-year-old had become the latest signing at Parkhead.

"Pato is a player we've enquired about, it is as simple as that," Lennon said at the time.

"Peter Lawwell our chief executive, has spoken with the [player's] club to see what the position is. That is where we're at.

"He's a very talented player but we don't like to talk about other clubs' players."

Allegri attacked Celtic for what he believed was an attempt to unsettle his player, who was left out Milan's 4-1 defeat to AS Roma last weekend and will also miss the Red and Blacks' trip to Siena in the new year as he remains intent on ending his six-year association.

A UEFA spokesman said: “UEFA has received a complaint from AC Milan regarding certain comments made by Celtic F.C officials and is currently looking into the matter.”
