[RadioactiveWaste]

Good luck to him.

Think it's a transfer that suits all parties.

For £2m, I'd not only offer young Andreas a lift to Bristol, I'd make him a ham and cheese sandwich for the journey, stop every time he needs the toilet, let him spend £1 on those vibrating massage chairs at the services, give him as many sweets as he wants and carry his bags to the door when we get to Brizzle ?

Many have said this and I too was in agreement, so after filling my car with fuel I ventured to Pride Park today to offer my assistance but unfortunately I had to return home as the queue was too long.

No need for any harsh words.

It's not Andi's fault but he will forever be the epitome of our season of profligate spending where we seemingly signed players whilst between managers, with no idea why we were signing them or what team plan we were fitting them into.

Good luck at Brizzle - at least if Lee Johnson starts with a plan it might help Andi.

Good luck you always put in a shift which is more than some we've had over the years .

Yep, always tried hard and put a decent shift in, unfortunately just wasn't quite good enough for what we needed - lack of managerial stability didn't help him either.

Good luck to him for 44 of the 46 games next season!

I liked Weimann but unfortunately he was never better than what was here before him. Whether that was due to his own form being inconsistent, being in/out of the team, or he wasn’t good enough is up for debate. Probably down to right player/wrong time or whatever way you want to put it, as he was never really able to settle into an 11.

[Rab a dab doo]

Echo everyone else's sentiments he always gave a 100% effort if a little mis-directed.

Never let anyone down with commitment.

Wish him all the best for the future.

A good deal all round for everyone 

 

[G-Ram]

Good luck to him 10/10 for effort 2/10 for ability

Was he better than Jamie ward or simon Dawkins, i don't think he was to be honest.  

[Zag zig]

Honest, hard working player, gave his all without ever being clinical enough. 

Repkace him with another, same characteristics, more end product both in terms of pass accuracy and goals scored it’s a good deal.

Wish him well, bar playing us, as really good bloke.

We've never replaced JW ,shame he had hamstrings made of tissue paper.

Add Russell to that list.

I think Dawkins was probably the most underrated forward we had in recent years.

Dawkins had unbelievable first touch and dribbling ability. The ball just stuck to his feet like glue.

If he had better ability to pick a final pass, or shoot then he would have been playing for a Champions League side.

Ward, Dawkins, Russell were all better than Weimann.... which is why he made so few appearances over his 3 years here.

Yes he was better than Jamie Ward but comparison with Simon Dawkins is just wrong because they were so different.

I am a little saddened by Andreas leaving, especially on the back of Johnny going, I think there should always be squad room for a run it down and chase everything sort of a guy - closing down the opposition defense when tryin to close out a game.

e.g I would have gone with Vardy sooner than Dier last night

 

But that is all just my own personal opinion

[Animal is a Ram]

He was yet another second striker we attempted to convert to a winger - see also Johnny Russell, Matej Vydra when used out wide - so has never really played in his natural position since being here.

Gave it everything, seemed a decent sort. Best of luck to him, just not against us. Decent fee, decent chunk of wages freed up, good move for all parties concerned.

Only Carson, Butterfield and Johnson left of the Clement era now, I think?

Yeah that's right, was Pearce bought in by someone else?

Olsson and Blackman, they were Clements signings, not sure if he actually got to manage them though.
