Silvio Dante Posted August 21, 2018 Report Share Posted August 21, 2018 At the risk of egg on face... - Is his work rate better than Reid? - Yes - Is his movement better than Reid? - Yes - Is his finishing at least on a par? - Yes - Is his hair nicer? - Probably not. On balance, 3/4 isn’t bad. With £8m banked, I think this may have been a fantastic deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that 3 goals in 35 now? Sounds silly to knock him now but it wouldn’t surprise me if he does **** all for 10-15 games now. Had a great game today tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRIAN WILSON Posted August 21, 2018 Report Share Posted August 21, 2018 Well so far AW has been more than impressive, enjoy while it lasts as my crystal balls have been working overtime. Fam & AW will hit 32 goals between them this season, Cardiff will come down from the Prem with less points than Swindon did BUT will offer (with their colossal parachute payments) £25m including PX of Bobby for the services of our 2 strikers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesBCFC Posted August 22, 2018 Report Share Posted August 22, 2018 2 hours ago, Alessandro said: I think we were all worried about losing not only Bobby’s goals, but his work-rate and pressing. Early days still, but in Weimann we look to have a worthy replacement in all aspects. I dare his movement is better than Bobby’s and perhaps at this stage looks stronger on the ball too, but eitherway it’s great that he’s got a variety of goals in him too. Finishing was the question mark - so far, so good. Said quite a few times over the summer that very few, if any, of Bobbys goals were ones other strikers wouldn't score if they were in his position. But it was the knack of getting in the right position that created his goals. We would always create those chances, just needed someone who would get to the right places. Of course, easier said than done and early days yet, but it looks like we have done just that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Exile Posted August 22, 2018 Report Share Posted August 22, 2018 Very impressive last night. Always moving and looking for space. Clinical finishing. And as others have said a leader on the pitch. Looks a great signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chipdawg Posted August 22, 2018 Report Share Posted August 22, 2018 Weimann's movement for his first goal last night was different level; made it so easy for Elliasson to find him. While he perhaps doesn't have Bobby's skill with the ball at feet, I think his finishing and movement are better. Can't wait to see him play with Fammy (though Taylor obviously played his part last night) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IF you win, drinks are on you! In the last three years I’ve been lucky that City have unearthed less well known goal scoring options and have got a season ticket and a drink out of the each way market each year. Here’s to a 4th year running. If Diedhiou slips to 60s before his first game I may have a dabble on him too in case given the way Eliasson crosses the ball.

Pugofwar Posted August 22, 2018 Report Share Posted August 22, 2018 10 hours ago, Port Said Red said: How long is it since he last played for Austria? The national coach must have noticed his start to the season... He is really not rated in Austria. I asked around at the time we signed him and most people were unimpressed. Austria tend to play Arnautovic up front on his own with two supporting inside forwards. If Weimann continues scoring at this rate it might register and get him back in the squad, but sad to say Bristol City are not exactly on the radar here.
