Selred Posted January 12 Report Share Posted January 12 Was only talking about this on the weekend. Good move, takes some big wages off the books for a player who isn't the future. Fantastic pro, scored some wonderful goals for us. https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/sport/football/exclusive-bristol-city-favourite-talks-9030755 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KegCity Posted January 12 Report Share Posted January 12 Makes sense if he’s still based in Solihull. Hope someone else is coming in, Weimann can cover several areas and we’ll miss having that extra body. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southport Red Posted January 12 Report Share Posted January 12 Swap for TGH? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hocca Posted January 12 Report Share Posted January 12 Not sure why West Brom would want him but a good deal for everyone involved. Never been his biggest fan but he won me over with his 20 goal season a few years back and been a good servant for us , good luck Andi. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBFC II Posted January 12 Report Share Posted January 12 (edited) If it results in a reduced fee for TGH that's a superb deal imo. A great servant over the past 5.5 years but at 32 he's slowed down slightly of late. A good move for all parties I think Edited January 12 by JBFC II 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post LondonBristolian Posted January 12 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 12 Weimann's been a tireless worker and a fantastic ambassador for the club but, even in the last year under Pearson, it's been increasingly hard to see how he fits into the team. Assuming this comes off, it's fantastic that he's got a move that is both local to his family and to a very decent club. There's not many players who, after leaving the club, would be warmly welcomed back to Ashton Gate by virtually every supporter but I suspect he is one of them. I'm grateful for the memories and pleased he seems to have found a way to move on with his head held high. 60 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLRed Posted January 12 Report Share Posted January 12 Make space for a loan move for benson. Left footed right side attacker is something we are missing and he defo has the skill and ability to get a few goals and assist from out there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweeneys Penalties Posted January 12 Report Share Posted January 12 Best of luck to him. I was a fan of Andi at The Gate, but if he wants to finish his career closer to home he should be given the opportunity. Thanks Andi 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jose Posted January 12 Report Share Posted January 12 Wow. Wasn’t really expecting that. Obviously not near the level he has been for us but still someone good to have in the squad. Genuinely quite sad about that even though it probably is for the best. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard working, versatile, unselfish. I can’t see him being a regular starter there myself (think they have players at AFCON, so useful squad option) but as others have pointed out the family home is near & I reckon Corberan probably knows more about football than you or me. 18 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted January 12 Report Share Posted January 12 Out of the blue?? Thank you Andi. Great pro, not a bad record either..top value for money, versatile etc. All the best- except vs us but loanees can't v their parent club..if only NP had the benefit such as Baker, Weimann, Wells in their pomp rather than perhaps a bit past their best and or injuries.

Wasn’t digging him out or anything it’s just a surprise move which no one seen coming that’s all, agree with all the things you said about him. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy to even question it. A hugely impressive pro who has helped to nurture our young talent, all the while providing 100% effort every single game and no little skill to match! 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattredrobin Posted January 12 Report Share Posted January 12 Best of luck to him certainly worked hard and give 100% everytime but as I have seen others say probably best for both sides that he moves on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazred Posted January 12 Report Share Posted January 12 I think we are moving him on at just about the right time. I would of thought the summer but if this allows a signing to come then it's a good move. For a player signed in a period when we were spending a lot of money and then extening on reduced terms, he's been very good value for money and has contributed a lot in his time here. Model pro. Very best of luck to him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2015 Posted January 12 Report Share Posted January 12 Has been a great player for the club, but hasn't been up to it for the last year imo. Wish him all the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malago Posted January 12 Report Share Posted January 12 If Andi is to make the Austrian squad for this summer’s Euros he needs game time, hence the motivation to move on now. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silvio Dante Posted January 12 Report Share Posted January 12 As has been said, a great servant to the club, never giving less than 100% and to come back from the ACL the way he did was phenomenal - the last of the WSM still standing. Nobody could begrudge him a move closer to the family home and still playing a part at this level. One of those tweets I remember is this one which shows how he helped Tommy and Alex through and what they thought of him: It’s rare that a move just feels right for all parties - he’s become more peripheral for us, WBA are shorter of cash but get a proven performer at this level and it works for Andi personally. If he doesn’t leave with everyone’s best wishes - he should. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
