It would be a very big mistake from Weimann to leave, plus to be honest we stood by him through injury and if we offer him a good deal he should stay.

I think he is a very good player, but misses a lot of very very decent chances and the attack breaks down with him on the ball far more often than the other two. He has a long way to go.
Weimann needs to be careful as to what he's asking for or looking for. He's in tremendous situation right now amongst players that are pulling in the same direction. Unless he has an offer where he becomes the recognised starting forward at a PL club in a one or two man system, he's going to end up on the outside looking in. He's certainly not good enough to be st any of the c,ubs that are top six ans start every week.He needs to consider many of the young careers that stutter as soon they leave a good situation. These are years that are never recoverable. He plays for one of the biggest PL sides and starts every week. At his age and place in the game given he's really on just broken through he's in a very, very good position. Don't be a Reo-Coker and start inflating your own self worth.
My only concern is perhaps Weimann doesn't enjoy playing out wide. He does okay there but it's clearly not his natural, or favoured position. That may come into his mind. I would hope not. He still manages to get plenty of chances from wide and scores a fair few. Again though, is it better starting 40+games for us next season out wide, or a dozen for Arsenal, possibly up front (he may find himself pushed wide at other clubs too).
Weizmann himself tweeted last month not to believe all you read in the papers and how happy he was at villa- i think he will stay.
