I think Green's book covers a lot of interesting things, but I'm not 
always convinced he's on very sure ground when he moves away from what 
seems to be his area of comfort in West Germanic ....

In fact, back at the time the book came out, I presented a paper that 
tried to look at day-names in the context of early borrowings from the 
Roman world into North Germanic that was inspired largely by what I 
thought was Green's ignoring of North Germanic in his treatment of 
day-names.

Cheers,
Carl
