Andreas Weimann

'Contract talks on hold until summer' usually only means one thing.

Interesting piece in the Guardian re Swansea, who seem to have £35k a week pay ceiling and 'heavily incentivised contracts' and win bonus' up to £5k.

Michu signed a new contract in January, presumably within this framework.

If Andi hasn't signed a new deal by August I will eat my hat.

Oh fuck it.

Everything is shit, we might as well sell all the seats in the Holte End while we're at it.

From the horses mouth-


@andiweimann: The reports in the papers about rejecting the contract are not true ! I've always been happy here and talks are still ongoing !!

No, no, no, that won't surfice. We must find a way to negatively spin this reasonable explanation direct from the kid himself.

Maybe something like The Black Death has spread through BMH or Lambert is looking to cull all the eldest born males within the players households. Because you know, everything is shit and its never been as shit as this and Fat Sam plays some sexy sexy football dontchyaknow.

What's going on? How dare he put the doomsayers right.

[PaulWinch again]

Good lad Andi, sign up.

That seems about right. Only the very top clubs can afford to pay stupid money. The days when a player ilke Ireland could get 65000 and Zigic could get more or less the same have passed by....and good riddance it was sheer lunacy whichever way you look at it.

How The Daily Star/Mirror/Sun/ Mail might report this:

Young Aston Villa starlet Andreas Weimann has added to his beleaguered boss's woes by Tweeting that his current contract negotiations are only "ongoing" despite Villa top brass being keen to sign him up without further delay. 

Weimann's indication that his contract negotiations are far from done and dusted is the latest headache for boss Paul Lambert - less than a week after he signalled he was facing the prospect of selling Christian Benteke to Spurs or Arsenal for £ 15 million.

The Austrian international has admitted to having "happy" times with the Birmingham club since arriving as a sixteen year old rookie from Vienna but, like his Belgian teammate, might now feel the time is ripe for a step up to a big club.

This really is excellent!

How the Mercury would report it:

The world of football was today shocked when it was revealed that Aston Villa are continuing to harbour a Hitler-worshipper amongst their players. The club, which shamefully does not bear the name of the city, has offered a contract to its young striker Andreas Weimann, despite his overt Nazi sympathies. We understand that the young forward continues to insist on retaining Austrian citizenship, despite this being the land which spawned the evil Fuhrer. To compound this shame, Weimann continues to speak German, the language that terrified the whole of Europe during a war in which Weimann's family are almost certain to have faithfully served the Third Reich.

How it would be reported by The Grauniad.

Bearing the unusually bisexual name Andreas leaves us to consider whether Herr und Frau Weimann really wanted a child of a different gender.   One might say Naturlich das familie Weimann chose eine Nahme which could serve the eventual outcome of the marital conjunction.   What is in greater doubt and which will generate much schadenfreude with the football teams Andreas scores against is how this young Austrian fussballschpeiler came to be at West Midlands once great but now mudigkeitvoll Aston Villa FC.   Seeking to clarify his perzonal circumstances  junge Herr Weimann tweeted Und soweiter und soweiter....
