Grant Brebner - Dundee United

[MVFC]

Hello.

My club looks like signing this player.

Please give any infomation you can.

Cheers.

:)

Was with Manchester Utd when he was younger, seen as a big talent apparently.

Went to Hibs and had a few good seasons by all accounts, then entered the talent black-hole that is Dundee Utd.

If you thought Barcelona of the 90's was bad for taking decent players and sucking the talent right out of them, you haven't seen Dundee Utd of the 00's.

Like all Dundee Utd players, Brebner was payed much and delivered ******** all.

I have to admit that I've really only seen him a couple of times and am mostly going on what I've heard and read.

He is a centre mid, probably more of an attacking/passing than running/tackling one and (I'm saying this with no concrete knowledge of the A-league other than that Dwight Yorke playes there) he should be a good player down there if your manager can get the best out of him.

p.s. I'm sure he also had a spell at Reading.

Much thanks mate.

He should easily be up to the standard of the A league, if he plays to his potential he would be a fantastic player in that league i'm sure. If he stayed in Scotland he would have no problems finding another SPL club. Not so good at Dundee Utd but as Gordon said no-one is there these days, despite the talent on show.

On a side issue, I think Marco Maisano is at Melbourne Knights in a lower league. Any idea how he is getting on?

he did. One of Tommy Burns' rare decent signings (although law of averages says even he had to hit the target once in a while).

Looked a good creative player, albeit in a team that made Sven's England look like Brazil of 1970 in its creativity.

Apparently he liked a bit of nightlife. We found him a house in the town of Thatcham, just outside Reading. It isn't so much a town as a collection of Barrat homes near a small railway station. He got very homesick and so went home.
