He does have faults but he's such a worker, that in time he will get over them. What a player he could be then.

Yep, he is not the most technically gifted but he is quick, works his taters off every week and his instinctive finishing is as good as Bent's.  Big, big player for us now, his goals per starts ratio must be pretty impressive this season, particularly as he has played exclusively as a wide forward.

If he was the main striker at a team like Everton he'd be on 20 goals a season.

Really need to get this lad on a 5 year deal if possible.

Said he'd get 10 league goals this season, can't be far off that now surely?

Could well be 15-20 next season if we sign better players in midfield.

If Benteke does leave in the summer, I'd like to see Andi given a run as our main striker.

He reminds me of Dirk Kuyt with his endless workrate and ability to score crucial goals.

Amazing to think his first goal for Villa was this time last year.

Brilliant young player with lots of natural ability and, crucially (and I believe missing from some of our other young players) he has a self-belief about him that sets him apart - as I think Benteke does, too.

I think he'll go on to be an outstanding player.

Andi was simply immense in the 2nd half today. I just wish he'd lose the bad habit of picking up yellow cards for petulant chat to referees.

That is an excellent comparison, excellent team player

I'm a big fan of Weimann and I think he's perfectly suited to the role just off a main striker, he uses the extra space really well to drag defenders out of position, his movement is exceptional.

His pull back for Benteke's goal was superb.

I think he gets punished because we're not perceived to be a club that can do it.  If he was at someone like Chelsea or Utd he'd never get the bookings he does for us.

To be fair wasn't that when QPR moved a freekick about 10 yards, into a shooting position? You should've heard what I was shouting at the ref.
