I'd take a goldfish and a balloon for Weimann. The wanker.

Bit harsh.

Way harsh dude!

At least hold out for cuddly toy and a coconut.

I would rate Westwood at about £3m, and Weimann at about £2m at the moment.

Delph we should not be letting go, but if we did it should be for >£8m.

I couldn't give a monkeys about how much players get sold for to be honest.  It's all a load of bollox.   I want us to keep our better players and sign better ones.

Guzan, Benteke, Vlaar and Delph are the only players worth keeping. Any other player, I would be happy to sell. Terrible squad of players. £8m for Westwood? Really? Jeez.

I'd like to see us keep Weimann. Yeah, he had an average season but he wasn't the only one. Play him in his proper position and he's got the ability to form a decent partnership with either Benteke or Kozak.

I think Weimann has precious little ability to be honest, I thought the same during his good spell the season before too. Awful touch, poor striker of the ball, not exactly skilful. But after his new contract his best attributes namely his have a go attitude and his movement disappeared. He developed a gut and a swelled ego equal to his rotund shape. This summer is the most important of his career.

I think Weimann's got the potential to be a very good player if we play him right.

Far bigger problems to address in this team than Weimann.

Not so sure.  Weimann and Gabby's inability to provide any quality and a creative spark in the final third is a major problem, particularly at home.

Weimanns a good player, watch off the ball and he's got great movement, put him in a better team than ours and he'd score 10-15 a season.

Think I'd worry about left back, right back, centre half, and two central midfielders first.

Oh, and sorting out a permanent deal for Holt obviously.

The back four are a joke. There's only Vlaar any good, and that's being kind to him.

Okore coming back will make us a lot stronger, quite literally.

He will still need time to get full match fitness and acclimatized to a new league.

He needs time to build a partnership with Vlaar, but I don't think the physical demands of the league will be an issue for him considering he is both massive and very quick.

My only worry about Okore is that he's quite short, may struggle to win headers. Looked good on the ball though and is fairly quick.
