    Don't know if I have made the title correctly.

    Work with someone who knows Mark Venus really well and have been told that they are interested in Alfonso Alves from Boro on a season long loan.

    Its on his wiki ....

    Middlesbrough

    Alves with Middlesbrough


    He finally ended a tense January transfer window and months of speculation when he moved to Premier League side Middlesbrough on 31 January 2008, just before the end of the transfer window for an undisclosed club record fee thought to be around £12.7m, signing a four and a half year contract.[3]
    He made his debut on 9 February, against Fulham as a second half substitute for Lee Dong-Gook. His first Middlesbrough start came on 27 February in an FA Cup home tie against Sheffield United, when he was substituted in the 73 minute. Middlesbrough eventually won the game 1–0.[4]
    His first two goals for Middlesbrough came at the Riverside Stadium on 6 April against Manchester United in a 2–2 draw.[5] He finished his first season in England with a hat-trick in an 8–1 home victory against Manchester City.[6] His first goal of the 2008–09 season came on 30 August, where he scored a 25-yard free-kick which flew into the top corner of the Stoke City net [7]. He then scored goals against Blackburn Rovers and a penalty against Manchester City, two against Barrow and one against local rivals Sunderland with a goal from 18 yards out.He has been signed a pre contract with Olympiacos F.C.
    It has also been said he has been linked with a season long loan with a view to buy from Glasgow Celtic

    and you can't actually sign a pre-contract while you are still contracted to a club for two more seasons either...

    But they don't want to be paying premiership wages in the championship or keep a player who does not want to play at that level

    Hope this isn't true. Every time(and i do mean EVERY time) i've seen him play he looks uninterested, sluggish and lazy. Wouldn't touch him with a barge pole.

    There is no chance of him coming to us, as we already have two big lazy strikers and we really do not need a third. Would not mind that simon * arriving at cp though.

    Alves isn't a bad player but he was playing in a bad team. Can't see him coming to celtic though.
