Greer Signed - Official

Club text


From seagulls.co.uk:

Albion have agreed a fee with Swindon Town for their captain and central defender Gordon Greer.

The club has also agreed personal terms with the 29-year-old Scot, and he is set to sign a three-year deal with Albion this Monday, subject to passing his medical.

Manager Gus Poyet tonight explained, "Everyone knows we were looking for an experienced centre-half, and Gordon is the type of player we wanted.

"He is an experienced defender, and had a very good season at Swindon, helping them reach the play-offs.

"I am looking forward to seeing him on Monday for his medical and to complete all the paperwork."

Glasgow-born Greer began his career with Clyde, where a string of impressive performances secured a move to Blackburn Rovers in 2001, with Graeme Souness paying £250,000 for his services.

After two years at Ewood Park, he returned to Scotland, joining SPL Kilmarnock, where he spent four years, before a Bosman move south to Doncaster Rovers.

He joined Swindon Town last summer on a free transfer after injury blighted his time with Rovers, and proved himself to be one of the top defenders in League One last season.

I can already see a number of Albion shirts with Greer + number on the back first game of the season.
That game, in my opinion will be no real resemblance to the coming season, first game of the season usually means anything can and will happen, especially without what i presume is our new captain, plus our CURRENT best striker.

Good.

Lua Lua and a striker to go.

you can almost hear the swindon fans raising their 6th fingers in disgust that we have "stolen" their captain, marvellous scenes

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

EXCELLENT news, signing one of last years promotion contenders main centre back and captain shows real intent in my eyes, the fact that he wanted to come here is also indicative of the pull of Gus and Bloom and their professionalism!

Swindon away - "Where's your Captin gone? Where's your captin gone?"

 

[Laughing Gravy]

Great news.
A top striker and the form that we showed after Gus arrived in Nov and we will be pushing for it.

Ditto if we draw Norwich in the cup.
