Everyone seems excited that we might sign him, but reading his profile it's not exactly top drawer. He had a good season last year but can someone explain why he's getting people so excited.
"Greer began his professional career with Clyde where he played only 33 games before securing a £250,000 move to English Premiership club Blackburn Rovers. He scored on his Blackburn debut against European giants Barcelona and played one other match for the Lancashire club, in the Football League Cup.
Greer had a spell on loan with Stockport County, scoring once against Wycombe Wanderers,[1] before returning to Scotland to play for Scottish Premier League club Kilmarnock. He has also received international recognition, having been capped for Scotland B against Poland B in December 2005,[2] and against Republic of Ireland B in November 2006.[3]
In July 2007, Greer signed for Doncaster Rovers after he rejected a new contract offer from Kilmarnock.[4] His first season at Doncaster was blighted by several injuries and Greer was restricted to only 6 appearances in 2007-08, though he did manage to score his first goal for the club against Bournemouth.[5] During the 2008-2009 season he joined League One side Swindon Town on an initial one month loan[6] which was later extended for a further two months[7] thanks to a financial contribution from TrustSTFC's Red Army Fund. On his return to Doncaster, he was released from his contract on 7 May 2009[8] after only 12 appearances in two years.
Following his release from Doncaster, Greer soon agreed a two year contract to sign for Swindon Town on a free transfer in July 2009 having impressed whilst on loan at the club. Soon after officially joining the club he was announced as team captain for the 2009-10 season.[9]
On 17th May 2010 he got a straight sending off for a high tackle in the Play Off 2nd leg against Charlton Athletic, which eventually Swindon went on to win on Penalties. His sending off means he is suspended from the play off final against Huddersfield/Millwall on the 29th May."
