Greening hails West Brom's "excellent" Graham Dorrans

Apr 14 2009 by Christopher Lepkowski, Birmingham Mail

“We can all see he’s got the skill to make it and he has done well every time he’s been on the pitch.

“We see in training every day that he is a top player and every time he has played for us he’s been brilliant.

“I thought he was excellent for us on Saturday – very composed and good on the ball. He can pick the right pass and he’s going to be a big star in the future.

“He could be a very important member of the squad. He’s got better as the season’s gone on and he’s got stronger.”

Greening feels Dorrans’ versatility and potential could eventually make him a wanted man.

“I know he’s been doing a lot of work in the gym and he looks a lot stronger and fitter than he was when he first came here,” added Greening.

“But his talent is very good and I think he’s a bargain for what we paid. He is going to play for a long time and he will probably attract big clubs in the future. I think he has been excellent so far.

“Dozza, Mozza (James Morrison), Roko (Robert Koren), Brunty and me can all play a few different positions and that gives the manager a few headaches.

“But Dozza can play as a sitting midfielder, on the left or right or in ‘the hole’.

“He is an excellent asset for us.”
