Andreas fault: Weimann rejects new contract offer to stay at Aston Villa

The Austrian youngster has impressed this season but is said to be 'disappointed' by the terms on offer

Austrian ace Andreas Weimann has rejected a new contract offer from Aston Villa.

The 21-year-old, who has 18 months left on his existing deal, has been one of Villa’s bright sparks in a disappointing campaign.

Weimann is currently on around £15,000 a week but sources close to the player say they are “disappointed” with the fresh terms so far on offer.

Talks are ongoing and, although Weimann remains happy at Villa, they could now be put on hold until the summer with the club’s Premier League status still in question.

Villa boss Paul Lambert said of the 10-goal striker: “We’re still talking at the minute and seeing how it’s gone on.”

Can't believe he's on 15k to start with given he must have signed this original deal a few years ago. He only made his prem debut this time last year didn't he?

Still, played very well this season so would have no problems pushing it up to 30k a week.

Faulkner has probably offered him a 50p weekly increase but a relegation clause reducing his wage to £250 a week if we go down.

[martin o`who??]

Another one angling for a move, rats and sinking ships time methinks.

Weimann is exactly the type of player we should be signing on a long term deal. I bet plenty of clubs will be sniffing round him come the end of the season, especially if we go down.

I would agree with that. 30K would be about right and then review it around next Xmas.

If Benteke goes (very likely) and Bent goes ( just as likely) and Weimann goes, which is possible if we go down.

Who exactly is supposed to score the goals next season?

[Irish villain]

Things are just so shit for villa fans right now.

The management have already got that covered...why else did they sign Bowery?

[eastie]

A wise man to keep his options open , with his contract running down it means he holds all the aces , an extension should have been offered last season , no doubt if relegated someone will snap him up on the cheap.

And absolute manna from heaven for some people who`ve been waiting a long time for this.

He wants to be paid more, who doesn't?

I'm sure the right deal will be put together in the summer.

[PaulWinch again]

If we don't adequately reward players who have down a good job for us we are ruined. This is utterly ridiculous now, Weimann has earned a much improved contract and it's time to stop fucking cutting the wage bill.

[ACVilla]

Weimann was more than happy to sign the new contract being offered to him. It's his agent that has told him not to and to hold out for more money.

He's also on nowhere near £15,000 a week at the moment.

We just won't pay that to a still largely unproven striker, and neither should we. One decent half season does not warrant £30k a week.

There is no need for andi to rush into it, he would be wise to wait until the summer, see where we are and then negotiate from there .
