The difference between him and the other youngsters is he looks like a winner.  I get the impression from some of the others that they are just happy to be in the team and playing premier league football, they do not all strike me as players who have a burning desire to win.  Weimann does and he will score a lot of goals alongside Benteke if we can sort out the 8 behind them.

He and the beast are an excellent pairing as they work hard and provide relief for the defence. Get a midfield and solid back 4 behind them and they will take us much further up this league

When the ball fell to him, I believed he would score. I wouldn't have had the same confidence if he had been probably any other player; maybe even Benteke.

I love this bloke more and more.

I read on the BBC that his goal today was an excellent first touch shot across the keeper.

It has been a long time since we had a player with such a dangerous first touch.

The goal is here, it's a brilliant finish running away from goal - instinctive and he made a difficult technique look easy.

Just listening to an article about Southampton's academy and how in recent years they've produced the likes of Bale, Walcott, Dyer and Oxlade-Chamberlain. I was thinking when was the last time we produced someone who really went on with us, or even another team to become a really special player, or at least play at a high PL level. I couldn't think of many, if any. When I look at Weimann, his work rate, his instincts and understanding of the game and blooming relationship with Benteke, we might have someone who falls into that top quality category. He certainly looks the part right now.

I think he's developing into a better version of Robbie Keane.

If only we could put a midfield behind these pair, they would tear sides apart.

My favourite thing about him is how he comes across as such a likeable lad.

Yes Cahill has done very well. I think he's become a good player, more so than a good defender. If Chelsea went out and tried to find a proper CB, Cahill and Luiz would both be out. Kimd of why Luiz is reinventing himself as a midfielder.

A bit like Bale at Spurs, FSW has decided it it better to keep the defending part out of Luiz's game and let him play better going forward.
