Ta.

He's a good lad.

Good luck Andi and thanks for the winner v mancity

Always quite like him for his work rate and link up play.  But he had a poor season and Sherwood doesn't fancy him so this is no surprise.  Lets hope we don't leave ourselves too short up front.

Work rate yes

I must have repeatedly blinked a lot over the last three years and missed the link up play though!!!

He was sort of doing it a bit in 12/13. I remember earlier on that season he played in a 4-4-2 just off Bent and was actually looking reasonably promising.

He's just fallen away so badly from that season it was time to move him on.

[LeeB]

Never rated him to be honest, there was a brief period where I thought he may make more of his lack of ability through endeavour, but once that tailed off he was exposed for what he was, namely not good enough.

Possessor of one of the worst first touches I've seen, which is going some these days with the emphasis more on technique.

[Matt Collins]

Briefly he looked like he'd be a good enough finisher to compensate for those deficiencies. But he isn't. I've never seen a player sky so many presentable opportunities.

I never thought he lacked effort though. That was one of the odder criticisms of him.

Was saying last week that he missed nearly all the chances that came his way last season - and of course we made very few! Couldn't finish his dinner...

No composure or technique, hence why a lot of his shots ended up being blazed wildly over the bar as he leant back.

[Clampy]

He didn't score enough goals but the one's he did score he tended to put away quite well.

[Ads]

He wasn't really good enough for the top flight, but as you say Clampy, some of the goals he did score, were actually pretty good.

His goal at Anfield is one of the best team goals you'll see.

Agreed, I thought he showed great promise as a finisher but just seemed to lose it; almost overnight.

Agreed.
But he was always like this...couldn't a coach have done a bit of work with him?

If we'd had any decent ones when he broke through they could've. I always felt he was so busy rushing around that he struggled to bring himself down when he got chances and he ended up lashing them trying to bust the net.  If he can calm down and be less manic he's a good finisher when his head is right, as has been shown in the very good 'strikers' goals he scored.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

I've rarely seen a player so evidently shot of confidence as Weimann last season. I'm pretty sure he'll regain it at Derby and score plenty for them but a move was the right thing for both parties. Good luck to him.
