Doubt he would be good enough if we went up but finding CB's that have the composure Greer has to pass out and not hoof the ball won't be easy..
Greer now slows the game down to his pace which could be total carnage if Theo Walcott plays.
In my view his last season with us.
Be interesting to see what happens when his contract runs out at the end of the season. The offer of a new contract or otherwise will give an indication of our intention and ambitions
I like El Abd but if we are to progress he will be a casualty. What surprises me is that he doesn't give away more penalties with his man handling of strikers.Can't see it happening as we are already looking at the future with that Dutch player.
All of you can slate me as much as you want but I am afraid El Abd will not feature soon either, great shame as well but he will not meet future requirements.

Interesting, one of GG best qualities is the calmness he plays the ball out of defence lot CB's just hoof the ball away, this for me is the reason he plays every week.
Someone has to, amazing how our captain is slated most weeks I can almost guarantee his name is first on the team sheetHow very dare you defend him on a whinge thread!

I was at the game today, and GG did make 2 great blocks, fair play to him, and I'm trying to not to criticise him, but watch the replays fro both goals, freeze frame them, he mistimes his run and jump for the first, which ended up an unchallenged glacning header. And for the most of the second half he got no change out of Zigic 9which is probably harsh, because not may do).
Why start this thread if your trying not to criticise the fella.I was at the game today, and GG did make 2 great blocks, fair play to him, and I'm trying to not to criticise him, but watch the replays fro both goals, freeze frame them, he mistimes his run and jump for the first, which ended up an unchallenged glacning header.

he does sit off and buy himself a couple of yards, watch the game closely, and if youve ever played CB you'll know what i mean.
This thread was simply intended to start the debate, not to bury the bloke whose commitment is 100%.
Read the words muppet, he's been good for us, great commitment and contribution, but starting to look pedestrain against good quality opposition. That's all.
we all face the 'end of the road debate' some time.
I speak to a lot of albion fans, and most of the time peeople are reluctant to crtique the skipper'sgame, because he is the skipper. There is a swell of opinion amongst albion fans that GG is now on the down slope. I wish he wasn't because I love the bloke for what he is and what he has done, but I just happen to agree with a the groundswell that he is past his best, and we need better, in the air and on the floor if we are to progress.
Just an opinion.
