Summer 2015 - Transfer Rumours, Speculation & Suggestions

[RussellC]

BBC Derby are also report ting that the Weimann deal is close to completion. It's always a little bit sad when you let a youth team product go, but Weimann has plenty of opportunities and, in my opinion, proven himself to be not good enough at this level.

[cdward]

Agreed, Weimann just hasn't done enough.

[passitsideways]

Felt like he just never improved. Being quick and being able to sniff out goalscoring opportunities is a nice base to work from, but he never figured out how to offer anything beyond that (bad coaching could be a big reason for that) and his composure in front of goal was often dreadful.

Will be good to see how he does with an extended run up top.

He has limitations to his game, he isn't fleet of foot enough or quick enough to play out wide on a consistent basis.

But up front, at a slightly lower standard, he could thrive.

I still think he'll be a very good scorer at this level in the right environment.
Good luck to him anyway.

If he's played as a striker, I expect he will do well in the Championship (not sure Darren Bent will be the right type of strike partner for him though).  Playing him in wide or deep areas just doesn't suit him at all.

I always thought Andi had a good eye for goal. As a centre forward I think he's pretty useful and I reckon he'd score a lot of goals for Derby.

Weimann was superb in our strong run in Lamberts first season.  Then he signed his contract and immediately started getting too big for his boots.  There is talent there, needs to develop his composure and stop believing his own hype.

[RussellC]

Don't want too sound harsh, but I didn't even particularly rate him as a finisher. He missed as may decent chances as he tucked away, and it's all about consistency at the top level. ironically, the first goal that he ever scored for us was easily his best. I'd put him in the same bracket as the likes of Adam Le Fondre, and would expect him to find his level in a midtable Championship side from hereon in.

Andi is one of those players who you'd never have the confidence that he muster much more than a powder puff shot from beyond 12 yards. Which I always find bizarre in a professional footballer when they don't seem able to strike the ball properly. See also: Gabby Agbonlahor.

My brother in law (Derby fan) says that its done, 4 year contract. Fee reported to be 2.5million - but who knows.

Bent and Weimann. Welcome to the real world former Chelsea and Real Madrid coach Paul Clement.

The Meaning Evil are reporting it now.

[PeterWithe]

I think he's another one of our former youth team with a glittering future behind him. He just never pushed on from being promising and he'll spend the rest of his career flitting between promotion hopefuls and relegation candidates.

[PeterWithe]

Although thinking about it, thats where he's spent his career so far any road.
