sage Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Why have we signed Weimann?We already knew a pacy poacher who can't hold the ball up doesn't fit our main system.We can't play as a wide man in a front 3, making Russell look like Hazard,Was it because we could?For those who think this is harsh, ask yourself this question. If someone offered the £2m we paid for him would you take it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 For those who think this is harsh, ask yourself this question. If someone offered the £2m we paid for him would you take it? Not harsh, just madness. Having just signed him and 3 games into the season which he has started 1 I would tell them to stick their offer where the sun doesn't shine.

uttoxram75 Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Very harsh....3 games in, midfield out injured, are you bored?Give him half a season and lets see how he's playing in a settled system. Johnny's stepped his game up, possibly due to the competition, and there's no reason why they both can't play off Chrissy if Tom dunna perform.

David Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Only played how many minutes?118 minutes, plus added on time. More than enough to write a player off it would seem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tombo Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Because Clement wanted to play the diamond. So you'd have 4 strikers for two spots. Martin, Bent, Weimann, Russell. Pick whichever two are in form.Team A: CarsonBaird Keogh Shackell Forsyth Thorne Hendrick Hughes Ince Martin BentTeam B: GrantChristie Pearce Buxton Warnock [In the market for a DM here] Hanson Bryson Dawkins Weimann RussellExtra: Mitchell, Ssewankambo, Shotton, Bunjaku etc...That's why.

The Scarlet Pimpernel Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Why why why not Weimann. The lad has something about him. His career says as much. I keep blathering on about it but we need strength in depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Srg Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Because he's a good player. Seems a logical answer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walsall_Ram Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 PC was hoping that the 2 striker formation would kick on... which it hasn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tombo Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Correct this formation suits him. However it doesn't suit the rest of the team.How many minutes have we seen the formation been played in? We're going to need more than one option, and lets not forget that Weimann has been playing out wide in a totally different style to ours. Playing wide for us in a 4-3-3 allows him to cut inside so much more, and perhaps not have to do so much of the tracking back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was poor pre-season and and poor so far. Our lowest ranked player. It's odd because he's played over 100 games in the Prem for Villa so surely he should be decent. At times he doesn't look like a footballer, like Bragstad didn't. If he turns it around and does well for us I will hold my hand up, but it doesn't look good.
