Would bring much needed movement to the front line. Agreed, him and Wells up front will give us a “cutting” edge against the physical defences we play against. Andi Weimanns work rate and presence was sorely missed last season. Pleased with this, like a new signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is him settled for a good while in the West country then. Drinking gold = adopted Bristolian IMHO. Yes he does - something was posted on here a few weeks ago (taken from Instagram I think).

NcnsBcfc Posted June 15, 2021 Report Share Posted June 15, 2021 I suppose the only question for me after today is whether Weimann's signing will be counted by NP as one of his five signings? You could argue that AW could be played by NP in either the Centre midfield or Forward areas. It's entirely likely now, that maybe AW is THE forward signing of this transfer window. If so, more money for the Centre backs, Midfielders then perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davefevs Posted June 15, 2021 Report Share Posted June 15, 2021 Just a small minutes sample snapshot of what Weimann brings. Pic 1: top left - lots of runs, high energy….we can see why NP wants him. top right: dribbles and commits opponents into fouling him. Often in last third. pic 2: - although often criticised for ball being bit of a hot potato, he tries more creative passes than most at above average success rate. Admittedly there have some bad passes which are unforgettable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admittedly there have some bad passes which are unforgettable. Thanks @Davefevs those are really useful; and demonstrate how much we missed him last season. You can now tell why NP was so keen on keeping him, even giving him a three year deal in the process. The vast majority of transfers this summer is of course for only two years. We've had to frame the extra year to minimise the pay reduction, but it's still a large commitment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s a good chance Stoke might be under some form of embargo and therefore limited to £600 p.a / £11.5k p.w. So 3 years at say £10k p.w. might be better for him, etc, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cityal Posted June 15, 2021 Report Share Posted June 15, 2021 Very pleased with this. At the time he got injured there was already talk that we were outperforming xG stats etc. We were also a few key players down injury wise IIRC. I thought at the time he was the one player we could ill afford to lose. Him and pato, who at the time was on good form, were the two bridging defence and midfield with attack.

RedRock Posted June 15, 2021 Report Share Posted June 15, 2021 If he’s signed as a striker we need 15 goals plus, a winger then needs to get loads of crosses in, ‘bloke in the hole’ plenty assists and the glue between a prolific striker (which we haven’t got) and midfield. Still not quite sure what he is. That worries me. A lot. Anyhow, everyone else is celebrating, so great news. Going to be massive for us, I’m sure.

cidered abroad Posted June 15, 2021 Report Share Posted June 15, 2021 3 hours ago, Northern Red said: Are there really still people who think that "all he does is run around a lot"? You'd think the last season without him would have showed how we're a poorer side without him there, but evidently not. It's how one sorts the posters of the posts if you get my drift. @Northern Red Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then he didn't rule out adding a few loans if the right players came about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly think we will see a fitter Andi weimann this season and he will produce to what we know he can he's high energy but his movement is second to none. Don't think we've seen the best of him yet even under Johnson and Holden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 15, 2021 Report Share Posted June 15, 2021 13 hours ago, GrahamC said: I know footballers need to understand the financial impact of the pandemic but it reflects well on him that he has been prepared to accept what I believe was significantly reduced terms (that I’m sure Stoke bettered) to sign this deal. With Simpson signing too, that further explains Pearson’s comment about needing 5 players. To be fair I’d want more to have to live in Stoke.

Lets hope, for all concerned, that he is totally over his ACL. I assume that the club offering him a 3 year deal means that they are comfortable with that.
