Nice article and puts options into perspective. Weimann didn't suddenly just become a bit player. He was asked to play a different role which didn't suit his goal scoring possibilities, so the goals dried up. I can't help but think there is a more productive player in there somewhere however you certainly can't fault his effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha I wasn’t arguing really. I just don’t see it being a huge difference in quality as Mr Fevs also just proved. I’d like both to be in the squad next year.

alexukhc Posted March 11, 2020 Report Share Posted March 11, 2020 What if he comes back and is shit, he doesn’t score and we don’t make the play offs? I don’t think he will be, but you never know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

formerly known as ivan Posted May 25, 2020 Report Share Posted May 25, 2020 If there was a silver lining to this from a footballing perspective it’s that we could have Benik available for more of the season than we thought! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let`s hope so - if it`s permanent it might mean we`ve done the deal. I presume he`s spent lockdown with his family in Surrey (I`m sure that`s where LJ said he went to see him after Amora`s sad death) so he needs to be back in Bristol for training when it restarts.

A fit Benik, with Nahki, Fam and Andi, could do some serious damage If we start playing again. That's got to be one of the most dangerous set of attacking options in the division hasn't it? we may have time for Nahki to build a slightly better partnership with the others too. We also have Tomas firing after, hopefully, shaking off all the niggles he's has this season. As LJ said, he hasn't been fully fit IIRC. We're looking very strong IF we do start up again.

Totally agree. Fingers crossed resumption goes ahead without any issues. It's going to be the strangest yet most intriguing end to a season ever. Anything could happen.

Loco Rojo Posted June 4, 2020 Report Share Posted June 4, 2020 Sorry if it's already been clarified, but if we have him until the end of the season and his contract with Stoke runs out then too (if I understand correctly), then couldn't we just sign him on a free? Why would we still have to pay them a fee? Or do we have to pay a fee as a condition of the loan if we want to sign him? Sorry if I've completely missed something here.

No, he has 12 months left on his Stoke contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
