Andreas Weimann

[Reuben]

I'd be gutted if he left.  I agree with Ozzjim that overall he still has a lot to prove but he looks to have so much potential (in a better way than Albrighton did a few years back)

If he left for Liverpool it would be annoying but more worrying is that it would send out a signal that we are like Wigan in stature - a club that survives and then sells the better players that helped them survive.  This would then repeat every year and we will never progress.

If he left for Norwich well that would be ridiculous.

Due to his age, don't we get a fee set by tribunal if he goes at the end of his contract? If so I think we need to make a stand on this one. We can't continue to sell the best players every summer.

Liverpool got Caroll, Struddige and Luis for strikers They don't need more strikers, they need to sort out the defence and midfield.

That Metro article is the biggest load of horseshit, with it saying a friend of a friend; the Austrian press told me that somebody had told them that somebody was leaking information to Rogers. Erm, ok.

Mind you, at least the Metro pretends it has a source. The People just lists clubs.

Utter bollocks.

Funny that this comes out just before a big game with Liverpool. They are doing their best to unsettle the lad.

Personally if It were me playing, I'd be playing very well because its just like a job interview/assessment situation.

I agree that that would be how some people would react. When Gareth Barry went through this it had the opposite effect. Harry will be loving this. Villa could sort it out to stop the nonsense.

There was one paper last week who reckoned Blackburn had Benitez on their shortlist which made me chuckle. I don't know how they get away with writing such shite.

[N'ZMAV]

I'm taking no notice of any of this shit.

I'm taking no notice of any of this shit.

Neither am i, nothing to worry about in this story whatsoever-.i prefer to believe Weimann and he tweeted the stories in the press last month were all rubbish .

The latest ridiculous story being apparently reported is that Sunderland are targeting moyes to replace o Neill- tomorrow's chip paper!

Downing had one of his best games for us and scored the winner against the 'The Mighty Reds YNWA' in a similar situation.

This isn't really a similar situation.  A couple of years back Villa were readily dismantling the O'Neill team whilst liverpool had loads of Torres money burning a hole in their pocket.  This time around, liverpool don't have huge money to burn and Villa are well on the way to building a half decent young side. The situations at both clubs are now quite different.  I've looked at one or two liverpool forums and whilst the general consensus is they rate Weimann very highly, they don't believe for one second they could get him - and they are right.

As others have said: file under "horseshite".

Weimann will be a top player and one of our most pressing priorities is to get him tied down to a long term contract.

[barrysleftfoot]

  He's 21, has a good attitude, good ability, good aptitude, dedicated, professional footballer.

 Pay him 30/40/50k per week, and give him a 5/6 yr contract.For me hes worth it.One of those 7/10 every game players like Milner.

[PaulWinch again]

As a striker he's going to be better than a 7/10 player every week.
