swanker Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Bristol City fan here. Just to let you know that Weimann is is going down a storm here in Bristol. We didn’t think we’d find a replacement for Bobby Reid but we did and for a snip. He’s playing main stricker and scored four goals already. Wait until we’ve got all our players fit, Andreas will finish one of the Championships top scorers. Tell Lampard “ Thanks very much” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Tibbs Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 2 million was very good money for him judged on his time here. What he does after is down to him, pleased he's doing well. Early doors yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why the need to brag though, he’s an awful footballer in the purest sense. We don’t play with two strikers and we also want players who are comfortable on the ball.

Ambitious Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 He's started well, but he's had a generous start and his goals have been against certain relegation strugglers... Forest, Bolton & QPR. Exactly as stated, I doubt anyone would begrudge him success, but if he was here there's not a cat in hell's chance he would have been on 4 goals. In fact, he'd have probably been sat next to Butterfield & Martin last night. All the best to the bloke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IlsonDerby Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Fair play to him. He was never gonna play centrally for us so we essentially swapped him for Flo Jo which added better balance to our squad. Win win all around for derby brizzle and Weimann Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioactiveWaste Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Good luck to him. Nice player, hard worker, good pro. Stuck out on wing and even wing back duties here and seemed to have lost his instinct for finishing so i don't mind hearing he's doing well at his new club.

David Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 He has said all along he's a wide man, likes to play in the centre but managers have kept playing him out wide. Why? Most of the time they have failed to bring in natural wide players and your Weimann's and Johnny Russell's will put a shift in wherever you play them, no complaining, no whining. It's credit to them to be honest and possibly why they are also generally liked by the fans as players, pretty sure this topic was a little poke to wind us up, but as you can see nothing but well wishes for Andi. Johnson has given him that central role at Bristol City and now reaping the rewards, it's real surprise to see him doing well, ok, I don't think anyone would have predicted 4 goals already but he's more than capable of hitting double figures. His workrate and movement will always cause defenders problems and whilst he's not the quickest player on the pitch he's no slouch either, for a couple of million, quite a bargain. I do hope we slipped a cheeky sell on fee in there. Slightly disappointed we didn't try him in a central role, but with a year left on his deal I can understand why we took the money, had it failed we have an asset leaving for free or we're renewing his contract when we have better wide men on the books. I do hope he stubs a toe before we play them, nothing too serious just keeps him out of action for one afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosmic Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Not seen any of his goals, but wondering how many of them were “right place right time”, rather than any individual flashes of genius, skill, or technique. Good luck to the bloke, but as others have said, not missing him one bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambitious Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 To be fair, Cameron Jerome has 4 in his last 3 games. #Better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cam the Ram Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 I'm very happy to see Andi doing well, but it's ridiculous that he's being credited with that first goal ? And what players aren't fit for you? Smith, Adelakun (unproven) and Diedhiou (suspended)? You make it sound like you're missing half a team. And the first two will miss around half the season at least anyway, so Andi will be waiting a while for those two to help him with the goals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gut_Reaction Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Oh dear, my fellow Robin, keep pecker shut until the end. Works hard, finds space, good runs and obvious nose for goal and takes them well. Very happy with him indeed, so far so good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’d all rather play in the centre, it’s where the glory is, and you can get away with a bit less tracking back. But there you’ve got one job to do, stick the ball in the back of the net. And if you’re not consistent enough at doing that, there’s a lot of competition for that position that will be itching for their chance. So you’re better off working on your crossing and carving out a career as a winger. I’m sure mason would love to be tried in the centre on a regular basis, but he’s a long way down the pecking order in that position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're expecting him to keep up this goals 2 games ratio then you'll be disappointed. You've had Abraham then Reid... Wiemann is not the continuation.

The fans loved him here for the majority of the time, he'd always work his socks off but out wide he struggled quite a bit unfortunately. He's quite clearly better through the middle but we've had Martin and Vydra there over recent years so he never really got a chance to show what he could do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He bustles about, harries defenders and has been in the right place at the right time to get poachers goals. Just what you need really. Surprised you didn’t try him there. I’m not expecting solo worldies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristol City Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 ANOTHER Bristol City fan here, excuse the comments from the OP, we all have fans like that.. Only joined to 'apologise' for the other fan but after reading the thread I'm surprised at the view on his lack of movement/work rate centrally. It's only one goal and I'm sure he won't keep up his ratio so far but what most City fans have fell in love with so far is his great movement and 'strikers instincts'. I'm unsure how he was for you but in the video attached this is what he's shown so far for us, he starts and finishes the move. I know he was played out wide for you but did he not show this for you? Seems like this fresh change is exactly what was needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
