Del Pede 0 Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Some danish medias are reporting, that Celtic have offered Thomas Graversen to Newcastle and Sunderland. I'd imagine his pricetag to be quite low at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Del Pede 0 Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Don't want him, seems to run about all the time without actually doing anything. To be fair, he was a great player and turned in some awesome performances for the danish national team, but the whole Real Madrid adventure turned some screws.
