Must admit i didn't rate him at all before this season, but i've been forced to change my mind through mounting evidence. Not so much impressed by his finishing more his all round play and attitude. Hopefully he won't go through a heartbreaking dip in form like Albrighton because i'd say he's been the major plus this season

He has a ferocious shot on him. He murdered the up-right at Swindon, but his goal last term against Stoke was a sublime bending shot.

He knows where the back of the net is and I think his bustling, bust style and pace makes him an ideal partner.

We have four excellent forwards, with Andi and Gabby having some versatility. As SHQ said, if we could put a midfield behind them then we would outscore folks on a regular basis.

Does he have a Brummie accent yet?

Sitting in the Lower North yesterday, i did'nt appreciate what a good header it was until i saw it on the tellybox. He's looking good at the moment.

This is the best strikeforce we've had in years. just need a midfield to provide for it

Very much this.
Benteke, Weimann, Gabby AND Bent. Also including Bowery who looks like he could have a bright future too.
We most definitely need to concentrate on midfield and defence.

Weiman has quietly plugged away no fuss for the last 18 months. He has grown in confidence and has been rewarded with international recognition from his country (Austria) Bent said a while ago he was the most natural goal finisher he had seen since Dean Ashton. He fits PL philosophy and he is the most promising of the youngsters who will become a regular first teamer. It really is about what PL does in midfield (and probably a CB) this window that will define our season ......

Not impressed by his finishing? What are you watching Greg? That's one of his best qualities.

Weimann is a terrific prospect. We are in the fortunate position of having Weimann, Bent and Benteke all capable goalscorers. With injuries and rotation we should be able to accomodate them all. Get a couple of capable providers in midfield and we'll be flying up the table.

Not to put words in his mouth, but what I assume he meant is that as impressive as Weimann's finishing is his all round play and attitude is even more so.

His progression comes with experience and playing more games. He's always seemed to be a natural finisher,plus his good movement was another quality,but he seemed to have grown a lot this season,far quicker than i expected.

You beat me to it TV. His overall play is great, but his finishing is top-class; intuitive.

I keep saying this, but there aren't many players who can instinctively finish with a single touch as well as he does.

Is the 'just can't get enough' song a rip off of Liverpool's Suarez song?

exactly what i meant Hilts.  He's a great finisher granted but to be a top player you need a bit more than that.
