chinapig Posted July 1, 2018 Report Share Posted July 1, 2018 9 minutes ago, JonDolman said: Yep. Him, Watkins, O'Dowda and Adelakun are all 6 foot or taller and quick. Seems like we are trying to add a bit of what Warnock does at Cardiff into our game. But hopefully keeping with our philosophy of passing out from the back and through midfield when we can, as otherwise why buy players like Walsh. We have looked like a bit of a one trick pony at times last season, and really need to improve our ability to hit teams fast on the break, which I think is the thinking behind the Watkins and potential Weimann signing. He doesn't seem like a player our fans will take to though. Anyone with bad end product often gets a bit of a hard time from our fans, and he certainly falls into that category. Decent enough squad player I guess. Yes, quick transitions is the jargon these days and seems to be the aim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if the Scunny winger is as good a player as his YouTube clips suggest, then he isn't as good as him either. He's a hard worker with no end product. Hard worker with no end product is 90% of most pro footballers. We've had loads down the years, Freeman, Haynes, Baldock ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baldock, often played by us wholly out of position and with little or no support or quality service scored one every two and a half games. His overall career record is around 1 in 3. We'd kill for a player of his quality these days. The other two on the other hand..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arkateee Posted July 1, 2018 Report Share Posted July 1, 2018 I see Andreas weimann as the perfect replacement for gustav engvall, but definitely not to replace Bob Reid. This would be comical otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustinCider Posted July 1, 2018 Report Share Posted July 1, 2018 1 in 4 goal ratio for Villa, Derby, and Watford. Seems good value for £2M; and played 14 times for Austria, so he must have something about him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dman_Red Posted July 1, 2018 Report Share Posted July 1, 2018 I'd be happy with this one at £2 million. As long as it doesn't hinder the Marriott transfer, by either giving Derby extra finances to pursue him or be part of an agreement for City to back off.

ProfitInMyPocket Posted July 1, 2018 Report Share Posted July 1, 2018 Sell Bobby for 10m and sign Weimann for 2m as a direct replacement, and you will see the intentions of this club. If it's not a direct replacement I do not see where Weimann fits in unless a wide player/striker is on the way out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely not a replacement for Bob, that horrible bastard that now plays in blue for crapdiff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteelCityRobin Posted July 1, 2018 Report Share Posted July 1, 2018 I see people saying he’ll never be as good as Bobby if he was being brought in to replace him... As much as I love Bobby, it is with LJ’s help that made him the player he was last season. So, maybe with LJ’s help, Weimann could be just as good if not better?.. We will Just have to wait and see... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Negan Posted July 1, 2018 Report Share Posted July 1, 2018 We must remember a player is leaving us soon. Perhaps wiemann is the replacement for whoever that is... would suggest Paterson to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Weimann who is 26 so a year older than Bobby Reid but has over 110 games at championship level to add to over his 110 at premier league level? Bobby Reid had a great season for sure and I wouldn’t expect Weimann to match the season we just saw but as a like for like replacement running off the shoulder of defenders and pressing then that is a hell of a replacement. May or may not work out if he did arrive but exactly the type of signing people cry out for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squad depth was a massive problem last year, actually it pretty much killed our season. It would be brilliant if we could have 4/5 first team players on the subs bench.

So the only place where anybody has actually said that Weimann would be a direct replacement for Bobby is the highly reliable Evening Post. Well done for questioning the intentions of BCFC based entirely on speculation , price and before the bigger picture is available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ska Junkie Posted July 1, 2018 Report Share Posted July 1, 2018 Interesting that on the Derby fans forum, they're saying he looked very good as a left wing back when they changed their formation.
