FootyLatest.com: Celtic to approach Bordeaux for Cavenaghi

Fernando Cavenaghi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Looks like we're still in for a striker. :icon_mrgreen: Sounds promising and the guy is only 24.

Celtic negotiators are still in Auxerre talking to Gabriel Tamas and are hoping to reach an agreement today over the player's personal terms. Both sides seem confident that a compromise will be reached.

Now there are reports in the French press that the Celtic team are intending to move on to Bordeaux next, to try and prise the Argentine international Fernando Cavenaghi away from the French giants.

Cavenaghi has an Italian passport so there would be no problem about work permits and reports are saying that Gordon Strachan is willing to go to £6 million from his budget to land this ex-Spartak Moscow and River Plate striker.

He started off his career at Bordeaux slowly after arriving from Spartak Moscow for a reported £4.25 million, but he burst into recognition in the second half of last season. He had a spell of ten goals in just nine games and ended up with 24 out of 44.

Strachan is hoping that, like Tamas, he can persuade the player to leave with a higher wage than he can earn in France, and if he is successful, Cavenaghi could be a prolific goalscorer for the Scottish Champions.

 

is this the guy rankers wanted to sign

 

hasnt this thread already been started?

im sure the majority of people said this is not true, brilliant if it was though!

 

oh good coz hes a pretty gd player and has been scoring goals for fun in France. But who would we drop for him?

 

jvoh

 

i don't think Rangers were linked with him. i've only heard we were at the end of the Jan window, then never heard of anything since.

this guy is a good striker. would welcome him. however, i think its fabricated. i don't think we will be shelling out £6m for a striker when there is still questions over left back for us.

 

I don't see anything on the transfer rumours section. Is it elsewhere?

 

course

 

would be great, lets hope its true!

 

load of * we just bought samaras and killen is apparently still strachans plans so we will not be buying a striker especially for 6m

 

chance in * in buying him

b/s story.. if we didnt sign samaras maybe.


unless voh is out the door.

 

We shouldnt even be looking at other strikers until we sort the defence out. Hope its not true.

Hi. By the way. :bbpd:

 

nice intro mate

welcome to the #1 celtic chat site

 

Must stay guy sounds promising. Although can see celtic making an offer then
an EPL team coming in and snatching him.

 

I told people of this few months back, i found out from the same scout that took my mate to celtic. He also said that there was a chance jvoh could go the other way

 

seriously.... no offence to JVOH, but I'd take Cavanagh in an instant!

p.s. who's yer mate! lol

 

doubt it'll happen but he looks and sounds great hope ter sum truth in it

 

welcome Top Cat.

i think we should be keeping an eye on any area of the pitch. some more than others. but if the opportunity comes up to sign a player that will strengthen our strike force, or any area for that matter, significantly then by all accounts we should go for him.

what it says in the Sunday Mail is that we were interested before we got Samaras. since then Bordeaux haven't heard anything from us. he was one of our options.

French side Bordeaux warn Celtic off signing striker Fernando Cavenaghi - The Sunday Mail

hope we go after the guy again in another window.

 

This would be a great signing although the priority should be a left back.

 

Good player but took his time to settle in France only seen the best of him since lauren blanc took charge , Massive fee massive gamble we dont have that type funds to * up the wall if the move back fired on us .
