Andreas Weimann

[PeterWithesShin]

I'm trying to remember, was it Weimann who scored our goal at Liverpool last season?

No, it was Herd.

Weimann's progress is fantastic and in the two wins this week he replaced Gabby in the team. This is bad news for Gabby but as he is a Villa fan I am sure Gabby is delighted.

[Risso]

Both Weimann and Benteke look like complete forwards already, and not just youngsters playing because of an injury crisis.

Weimann looks a class act, with a lot of hard work to boot. I can't see how so many could so strongly defend Darren Bent, blaming his woes on the fact he isn't given enough service. Standing around waiting for the ball for 90 minutes is just not the way a front man plays in this age. But I don't want to descend into another Bent argument.
For me, Weimann offers us plenty of movement and he's a very good finisher. He's got very good technique when he strikes a ball. He's always looking for the ball. If it doesn't come to him, he works to get it. For that too, we look far better as a team. Just as when Gabby plays as well, his work-rate has an impact on the game. You don't get much goal threat from Gab but I think now, we can use him in a role that's well suited to him, from the bench. With Weimann we get a good mix of some of Gabby's work and tireless running, as well as Bents ability to put a chance away. Bents more of a poacher, but I see Weimann as being able to finish effectively inside the box and outside.
There's a definite chemistry between Andy and Benteke too. Long may it continue.

Great to hear that he's finally got his own chant too. Well deserved.

Weimann's goal yesterday and his second at Norwich are examples of that

[Clampy]

He looks much better playing though the middle than out wide. His last three finishes have been top notch.

[Mortimer's Bear]

Gabby has to stay out of the team for me, Benteke and Weimann are our first choice strike force.

[villan from luton]

Weimann seems to be getting better and better and certainly is a very good finisher. Got a great work ethic as well and as others have said, seems to have a good understanding with Benteke. That second goal yesterday was a superb team goal.

[MONCABA]

Both Weimann and Benteke look like complete forwards already, and not just youngsters playing because of an injury crisis.

They remind me of Atkinson and Saunders.

[Chris Smith]

I'm slightly wary of all the praise being heaped on him at present, it's reminiscent of what was being said about Albrighton a couple of years back. At the moment he's a good prospect, nothing more.

Let's just wait and see how he copes when teams get wise to him and defences and coaches start paying him more attention.

[villan from luton]

Thing is Chris is he seems to be a natural finisher and that is priceless. I thought he was awful first half v Man Ure and said to my lad I can see him being taken off at half time, then he pops up with two goals lol

Win % with Wiemann Starting 66% (started in all games won this season only 2 losses he's started have been the Mancester clubs), Overall 53.3% with him playing some part. Only pick up 3 points out of 18 without him playing - Catalyst?

[johncvilla88]

Did anyone realise are only Win's this season have come with Wiemann starting?

Looks like Benteke isn't the only striker we can't afford to have out of the side.
