I quite liked the fact he had his little paddy, you could see from the goal celebration he was fired up.  Just adds to my feeling that he has the attitude of a winner.

That's what I thought too. I actually said out loud "Weimann, ya dipstick" but I was actually thinking "at least the little bugger cares"!

Weimann does have the attitude of a winner. He has improved so much that his credits far outweigh his debits. Physically able to look after himself, works like a trojan and seems to be forming a partnership with Benteke. Something positive to say about the team at last.

Just seen his goal again. It looked a decent finish at the time but i was looking forward to seeing it again. I'd have left him out yesterday because he did'nt look fit against Wigan but this kid could score a few goals for us.

Weimann and benteke are both decent strikers , if they stay fit we will do ok with them, we need better creativity in this window in the midfield area to provide more chances for the strikers.

If we get more of the ball in the final 3rd and start making telling passes we have 2 20 a season strikers on our hands with Weimann and Benteke, I'm convinced of it.

Our average possession and pass completion in the final 3rd are not far off the worst in the league, which does nothing to help the strikers.

Have you noticed how many of his goals r one touch finishes. whether they are from 2 yards or 20. Both goals against man u both against norwich and again yestersay.
That tells me he is a pretty natural and instinctive finisher.
His work rate is great i really want us to give him a pretty decent run in the side.

Plus i love the song ive been hearing in the pubs pre match recently

Weimann and Benteke should be starting up front together every game.

Agreed. They make a better partnership than Bent & Gabby. Although, we haven't seen much of Benteke & Bent, or Benteke & Gabby, or Gabby & Weimann.

We do need a bit of width for the strikers to feed on.

These two are what we have been after for years. It is almost as if we have picked them out of a lucky dip, although credit must go to those who helped them get where they are now.
We forecast the Weimann / Benteke show at Norwich during half time and got exactly what we predicted. With the back up to feed them ('they need service' yawn yawn) they will frighten the lives out of teams everywhere.

I've long thought that Weimann was the real deal, and he and Benteke seem to have a prety good understanding already which is promising from two youngsters who haven't played togther much.  They must look at the dross behind them and feel a bit pissed off though.

I thought Delf looked like a natural finisher and in early games looked like he might make it. But, to a lesser extent then the Moore Bros, he didn't seem to have the mental attitude to push that on. Weimann currently does, whether he keeps it is another matter.

I think that's what we've really missed from Gabby, somebody that can go wide and hold the ball up. Add to that the runs he makes inside or the crosses from the left, despite not scoring many, he gives us something we're lacking up front. Too often over the last month or so, we see the ball come back far to quickly from our attacks. He also gives opposing defences something additional to worry about, creating more space for Benteke to do what he does best.

Wemann seems to have the right stuff.
The Moore's and Delf always seemed to have an attitude problem, you can almost imagine them kissing their teeth at their respective coaches.

Although in fairness, Luke is still at a Premier club (just).

I'll never forget Stefan's goal against Charlton after making a mug of Richard Rufus.
I really thought he would go on to greater things.

This is exactly why I think Scott Sinclair would be a great loan signing.
