    Not surprising that he couldn't catch on with the Red Bulls. Does anyone know what his situation was with the Cosmos? That seems like a much better fit for his talent level.

    Just another overhyped Duke player.

    How does 1 flop at League 2 level with all that Hype?

    Mike is a skillful player. It just never worked out for him in England. His lack of speed and lack of a killer instinct in front of goal doomed him. This is a great signing for him. Viborg currently sit 4th in the Danish SAS-Ligaen.

    Kind of surprising he was able to latch on at a club like Viborg. Nice job, Mike!

    The SAS-Liga is no more.... the past few years 'Superliga' has been the official brand and trade name of the Danish league, and so it will also be in the future no matter the name of their sponsors... in fact the Superliga now has 4 main sponsors, while they only had SAS (Scandinavian Airlines) as their sponsor back then.

    ... but now I'll make a break for the former Superliga sponsor SAS, simply because they actually do make some nice advertising worth watching ;)

    I know they're doing really well right now, but Viborg was just promoted this year and have spent the majority of their existence in the 2nd and 3rd divisions.

    Still, it'd be great to see Mike and Jide both feature there and qualify for Europe. :thumbsup:

    Grella came off the bench and played 14 minutes for Viborg as they broke their 3 match losing streak in a 2-2 draw vs. Sonderjyske. I believe it was his league debut.

    Thanks!

    Hey @supercooper if you are still on this site. I know you said some crazy s**t, but you seem to have been dead on about this (about 5 years too early). Grella may not be the greatest player, but he is great for RBNY. See below.
