LooneyToonArmy Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 No quotes directly from him mentioning us like --------------------------------------------- Coelho: I Turned Down Toon, Celts For Bologna Brazilian full-back Dyego Rocha Coelho is excited to have joined Bologna, claiming that he chose to join despite interest from Newcastle and Celtic... Defender Coelho has agreed to join newly promoted Serie A outfit Bologna from Corinthians. The Brazilian right-back, who spent last season on loan at Atlético Mineiro, gained notoriety in his homeland after a harsh challenge on Cruzeiro starlet Kerlon - performing one of his ‘seal dribbles’ - landed him a 120 day ban. The 25-year-old was set to move to Celtic in January but was sent back to Brazil after an unsuccessful trial period. Now, though, Coelho has hinted that he wasn't keen on Celtic anyway and revealed that Newcastle were also interested in signing him. Furthermore, he thinks he can get his career back on track in Italy and perhaps even add to the solitary Brazil cap he won five years ago. Asked if he'd been approached by Newcastle and Celtic, he told the Corriere dello Sport: “It's true, but I wanted to play in your country and, I will not hide, my wife strongly wanted to move to Italy. “It is a club with great tradition, which has won seven Italian titles and is known and respected in the rest of the world. "Now I'd like to win my place back in the Seleção thanks to Bologna." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
