Good to see Greg back in Scotland - never understood why Birmingham signed him as they seemed to have no idea how to use him. They played with a big target man and relied on hard work and power rather than any footballing ability. They seemed to think Greg was some kind of a winger and then spent their time getting him to track back rather than set him free in any playmaking capacity Aberdeen must be paying a hefty chunk of his wages a few weeks ago old 'arry was saying in one of the papers saying none of the Scottish clubs wanting him would be able to afford his Birmingham wage or even the percentage of his wage they would want. Either Birmingham have lowered their demands or Aberdeen are pushing the boat out. Good luck to him anyway hopefully he can kick on and get back on form with the Dons after being a bench warmer at Brum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CowdenLoyal Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 That's a great move for Greg. I watched a lot of the games involving him and as CC has rightly said above, he certainly wasn't being used effectively. He looked lost due to it and faded right out the side. Looking forward to him having a good season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are decent players out there who would put guys like the disappointing Chris Turner to shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An absolutely dreadful league where pace and power still see you move for big bucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The boy Cormack. He has given them at least 10 million towards their new ground. Boy is minted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very doubtful that their new ground will go ahead. It'll buy them some replacements for all those that have left though. I'll be going to watch Stewart if I can't get to CP.

CowdenLoyal Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 In all seriousness, absolutely fair play to him. He'd be welcome back at any time at us however I feel, due to his reasons for leaving Montrose, Edinburgh City must be hounding him and rightly so. Even Berwick?
