Rivaldo's Agent...

GLASGOW (AFP) - Brazilian World Cup star Rivaldo has been insulted by the offer from Celtic manager Martin O'Neill of having a trial run at Parkhead.

The 32-year-old World Cup winning midfielder has been in talks with the Scottish champions as well as Premiership side Bolton in the last two weeks and had been leaning towards a spell in Scotland.

But Rivaldo's agent Carlos Arime said that O'Neill's offer of a trial on the club's tour of the United States was an insult to a player who had proved his value over the last decade in Spain and in Italy.

"Celtic sent me three faxes,'' he told the Scottish Sun. "The first one was to let us know they were interested in signing the player.

"The second fax was even more serious as it included an offer for my client.

"The third fax was to let us know they wanted to start talks but that the player would be invited to go on trial first.

"How dare Martin O'Neill ask Rivaldo to go for a trial in America. That is an insult to my client and to football.

"What kind of mentality is that? Big-name players will not be attracted to Celtic if that is O'Neill's attitude.

"People will be crying tears of laughter when they hear Celtic wanted to take Rivaldo on trial.

"My client has been one of the best players in the world for many years and I don't think he needs to play some friendly games in order to prove himself.''

I'm "laughing in tears" that Rivaldo's agent thinks that...
1. Rivaldo is a big-name player.
2. Takes a trial-offer as an insult. (considering he slumped at Milan and in Brazil)

anyways... Rivaldo is a big name signing, but if I managed Celtic I'd ask him to go on trial before buying him... he seems to be past it...

The Qatar Football Association claims it has concluded a deal for Brazilian World Cup winner Rivaldo.

If the claims are true, then the deal brings to an end a transfer saga involving Scottish champions Glasgow Celtic and English Premiership outfit Bolton Wanderers.

Rivaldo all but ruled out a move to Celtic earlier in the week because he felt "insulted" by Martin O'Neill's offer of a trial.

And with former Barcelona and AC Milan star having been warned that a move to Qatar would signal the end of his international career, Bolton appeared to have moved back into pole position.

Qatar FA technical director Manfred Honer said: "Rivaldo has signed for us. He has been here for three days and is finding a place to live.

"The move was all about money. It is what motivates the player.

"I can't reveal figures, but if you're telling me Celtic and Bolton were willing to offer him £30,000 a week I can only say we're paying much more."

It's no insult to anyone but a Rivaldo. He is a big name, but that is all he is now. He hasn't performed well at all lately, and I don't think Martin O'Neil was foolish to request a trial... not only to see if Rivaldo was still a great player but also to see how he would mesh with the current players. And it was obvious in the end all he and his agent cared about is the money because no one will care about Rivaldo anymore if he's banished himself to Qatar.

They've got money, so what's it matter to them.

Wouldn't you want to try and possibly win another title in a great league then fill up your already huge bank account?

I never understood this.
