Guys, you're being fantastic at rubbishing suggestions but you're pretty thin on the ground with suggestions of your own.

Move Wiemann in to a more central role in the style we play and he'll score less than he does out wide.  He's not a target man, he plays off a target man.  At the moment that target man is Benteke - if we lost Benteke tomorrow who would take his place?

Andreas Cornelius

An attacking line of And, And and Gabby.

I'd not really heard of Benteke before he signed and certainly didn't know enough to have recommended him on here, the players I could recommend will be out of our price range probably so I trust Lambert and his scouts to find our next striker.

[Dante Lavelli]

From that youtube montage that Cornelius does look pretty special.  I'd prefer us to risk 5m on him than Austin as I suspect that there is a ceiling to how good Austin can become whereas that fella looks like he could become world class.  What's his pace like?

Indeed and that's the point, although I'm reasonably confident that Holt would be a terrible signing.

He certainly doesn't look slow. I'd love to see us sign him up even if Weimann and Benteke renew. He'd fit into our system, ideal replacement for Bent and given a year to bed in, a great replacement next summer for Benteke.

A dream marketing opportunity.

Splendid.

[PaulWinch again]

Brilliant to hear, that's really important.

[saunders_heroes]

Good news.

VERY good news

[SoccerHQ]

Yep happy with this.

We're a better team when he's in it. I reckon he'll get double figures in the league next year. Wasn't far off this year when you think of the bad miss v West Ham and a couple of miraculous goal line clearences from his shots.

[olaftab]

I a sure Weinmann is proud and considers himself very privileged  to have been offered a 3 year contract at Aston Villa FC.

[Dante Lavelli]

Great news (if true).  For once we're starting a season with a bit of continuity, the same manager, a working formation and hopefully not loosing any of our first team players. 

[villan from luton]

He has the right attitude and will continue to improve.
