I admire your pedantry and I'm delighted to finally be part of a craze . I think I've spent the last 50 years spelling it that way (and presumably shouting eke everytime I've seen a mouse!) but you are indeed correct and I've written "eke" out 100 times on the blackboard to remind me.

Well, he could have a point. Brighton looked for another member to the loan department in March, without Greer going anywhere, so I'm guessing his workload has been more than it should have been. I've had a friend in a similar role in a Swedish club and there's a lot of things to fix.

Many young players who get loaned out will live on their own for the first time in their life. There's a decent chance these kids are calling Greer about everything from how to pay their rent to put on the laundry machine. They feel lonely? Call Greer. Hotel room or apartment provided by the new club not good enough? Call Greer. Manager not treating the player well? Call Greer.

If its anything like the role my friend had, Greer is basically some sort of extra dad to the 15-20 youngsters out on loan.

No wonder Undav wasn't prioritised... but like I said, could be a point to it - its an awful lot of work for one person to solve various player problems, give them feedback on their performances and write reports to Weir & others from the recruitment/planning staff.

I doubt Greer has anything to do with rent! We are slightly bigger club than any in Sweden. Think we'll have plenty of contacts in the admin side that deal with such things. Greer manages the loan processes for the club.

It's something I've seen a lot recently (mainly in reference to pensioners deprived of heating allowance). I've never misspelled it because I learned the word at 11 when it was mentioned in Jennings and Darbishare, when the latter explained the the word 'nickname' came from 'ekename' (ie additional name). Never let it be said that children's books can't be educational

Can we just get shot of this guy? Please? Shaft Stuttgart whilst doing it obviously

I do not believe him, he just wants out. Bad Apple

I say this having been a fan before we loaned him out

Should be Jennings and Darbishire.

Hmm, €30million would be very good business, IMO.

Fossilised fishhooks - what a mistake (I got the book wrong too, the nickname discussion was in Jennings goes to School)

D'oh!

Unbelievable business! Top money for a very average player getting nowhere near our first team.

Love this, great work

He was not average in the Bundesliga though. He was one of the top strikers there last season, only Kane and Guirassy were better.

In summary, it’s a great deal for Undav, Brighton and Stuttgart. We’re all happy.
