Andreas Weimann

 Would'nt disagree PW, but hes a consistent kind of player, a la Milner, and so to my mind worth a good, long deal.

Definitely agree with that, he's earned it and it should be a priority.

[Mister E]

  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.

Agreed - the uncertainty of the club's status is the one thing holding the club back from cutting a deal like this.

[Dante Lavelli]

I'd like Villa to introduce more performance based pay deals.  Weimann's form recently has been incredible but it was only a few months ago where he was average.  He could easily do an Albrighton, especially once defenders get to know his game better.

I think a 25k basic should suffice, plus additions if he plays/scores/wins.   

[Doorbell]

Stay up and keep both Weimann ans Benteke and I'll be one very excited supporter.

Add in a creative player with a good delivery, defensive midfielder, centre half and we are in for a much better campaign next term.

[darren woolley]

I hope he sign's a new contract with us I would like to keep him.

[UrbanEconomics]

It's one of the more predictable things in life that as soon as one of our youngsters stalls over his contract he starts being described in the press as one of our better players that it will 'rock' us to see go.

My own fault but I was listening to Talkspurt yesterday, in an unguarded moment, and someone doing a Mickey Quinn impression was talking about how we'd be down already if it wasn't for Weimann and Benteke. No doubt alerted to Weimann's existence by Liverpool's alleged interest, he seems to have forgotten that a month and a half ago he was one of the same wittering gobshites that couldn't understand why we weren't playing Darren Bent.

FWIW I've enjoyed watching Weimann this season, even if it always seems slightly surprising when he scores one of those great goals of his. Since the reserve days he's kept learning and looks like he'll keep on doing. Somehow, his gifts bar shooting don't seem entirely natural and unforced but, if anything, that just makes him more likeable as a player.

It'd be good to see him stay and I think he will, whatever the jibber jabberers say in the coming weeks.

Still think we need a first team LB. Bennet needs to beef up and improve his positional sense he looks very lightweight but think he will come good over time. Survival is key as to who we bring in ........

[peter w]

I don't get this,'you'd be down if it wasn't for...' (your players as it turns out). Or in the case of QPR, 'We should have been 4 up at half-time if it hadn't have been for their keeper'. Which islike saying 'we would have been 0-0 at half-time if they hadn't have scored 10'. (or, for Risso, '...hadn't of scored 10...')

Bennett needs replacing. Utter shite.

I know. It's a total "If my aunty had bollocks..." argument, and it's utterly ridiculous.

I think he will be fine , shown signs of promise and much better in a flat back four - needs to work on his defensive side a bit but i don't think we need to worry of much about him, a lot of our players will have gained much experience from this season and be better for it next season.

I think there's more there than "utter shite"; even if as a left-sided MF. I agree that there's a need for a more competent LB, though.

[PaulWinch again]

Bennett isn't utter shite, I think he'll come good. I'm not sure in what position yet, but he'll be ok.
