Strange when I swear they wanted in excess of £10m a few months ago. Closer it gets to the start of the season the lower the fee will get. They'll want to do business soon so they can reinvest in their squad. He's a very good player but 10m? 7-8m sounds more realistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RamBamFan Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 28 minutes ago, PistoldPete2 said: I think weimann is fine, but we have lots of strikers but no one to give them the ball. Weimann, Anya, nugent, martin, bent, Blackman. But no wingers and no creative midfield players. Such a disjointed squad... Going into a pre season tour that's bad. I think I get what you mean but I would have worded it differently. Do you mean we're lacking 'a spark'? Because I'd put Anya and Weimann down as wingers (as opposed to inside forwards), and Butterfield a creative midfielder. But those players seem to lack that match-winning capability.

If we paid it but not all up upfront as I put it would be good business. Don't forget he was on loan abroad until xmas and only played three times scoring zero goals before his purple patch when he returned to Brentford. it is an IF but would be good imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weimann has never been a winger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 Just got an old gits season ticket at West Ham. It's up in the gods but at £145 not bad value. And I can see what Ince is like on 9 September when 'uddersfield play there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weimann's best spell at Villa was when he played up top with Benteke in a 4-4-2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kernow Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 Good luck Tom. Really can't blame him for wanting to try his luck in the PL. He's done enough here to show that he deserves another crack at the top flight. I hope it works out for him and I hope we go out & replace him with genuine quality that we can get excited about again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We forget they are unproven at Prem.. level ( discount Blackpools adventure). AT bigger clubs they would disappear onto the bench/ into the squad/ or be loaned out back to a Championship club. This way they have chance to prove they can hack it and then move on to a bigger club in which case we will get a further payment,,,,,,,,, hopefully. And if the rumours about Will's contribution to our debts at Watford are true then he earned us more money than stated. Rumours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
admira Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 Two years to the day that he signed (just flashed up on my Facebook memories). £4.75m so I guess we've made a decent profit in that time if nothing else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jono Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 I have a strong sense that the only signings in this window will be oportunistic ones rather than any high fee headline grabbers. We have been operating as a spending club for quite a while and logic says to me that it isn't sustainable. Need some cash in numbers and the wages bill down. So replacing Ince with a new "star" name is IMO less than likely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuwtfly Posted July 3, 2017 Author Share Posted July 3, 2017 There's a sad parallel to be made between us and Fulham this summer. Not long ago they were floundering around mid-table, looking set for a long stay in the Championship, while we looked set to challenge for an automatic promotion spot. Now, on the day we sell our best player to Huddersfield fu57ing Town, they sign theirs onto a new long-term contract, after spurning interest of around £20m. Football's a funny old game.

Or there manager sees Cairney more of a pivotal point in his team than Rowett does Ince. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
