!james Posted January 15 Report Share Posted January 15 Great business, WBA desperate for cash so the rumoured £1.3 million is peanuts and I'm guessing the Weimann deal offset some wages. Been outstanding for us this season and will only improve. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRoss Posted January 15 Report Share Posted January 15 (edited) Great bit of business. I can see him getting better and better and he's done well so far. You can tell he's bought right into the club already. Edited January 15 by RedRoss 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbored Posted January 15 Report Share Posted January 15 The rumour confirmed at last - Weimann to WBA and TGH signs for City. Good deal all around. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flagon Posted January 15 Report Share Posted January 15 Really pleased we’ve completed this now. He’s done really well and looks like he has loads of potential to get even better too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1960maaan Posted January 15 Report Share Posted January 15 To me it seemed a good deal to start with, if we have knocked something off of the deal by bringing forward AW departure that is brilliant business. Weimann has been a great servant, but he's played a bit part role and would leave in the summer while TGH is at a good age to progress. Good work IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoystonFoote'snephew Posted January 15 Report Share Posted January 15 Good business. Andi has been great for us and I hope we give him a big send off when he officially leaves but TGH is a real blossoming talent that strengthens us going forward.

The ITKer from West Brom suggests we shaved a bit off, but he also said Weimann was perm. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My thoughts are that I'm delighted we've signed him. But I'm wondering why we choose to do it now? I get that there may have been a cost saving element to it but he could get himself injured and be out for the next 12 months in the next game. Keeping him on loan would have potentially given us that bit of safety net. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted January 15 Report Share Posted January 15 Very happy to hear this. Some talent, versatile plus clear and obvious room for growth. Seems to have settled in well, bit of a snip at £1.3m. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swings and roundabouts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laner Posted January 15 Report Share Posted January 15 Good news. I've one question though. Under league rules, are teams allowed to print names on shirts over two lines? TGH looks a bit silly arced around his number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveInSA Posted January 15 Report Share Posted January 15 I’m always a bit meh about loans becoming permanent deals. fingers burnt so many times. The player you think you’re buying turns out to be a duffer. lets hope he grows into a magician. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were happy to get the price for TGH nudged down a little whilst AW's wages were off the books. They get someone experienced, reliable and clearly a good egg and get a fee now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only really think of Tony Dinning and Lee Tomlin as bad loan-into-permanent deals - are there more? That said, can anyone think of any successful loan-into-permanent deals we’ve had?! There’s probably some obvious ones… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted January 15 Report Share Posted January 15 Always on the cards after he moved down here so quickly after the loan was announced. Glad it has happened all the same though, didn't want to hear the news he had gone elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The player you think you’re buying turns out to be a duffer. lets hope he grows into a magician. TGH is still learning the game. For him the move is about building a solid career for himself by playing regular first team football. I wouldn't allow the likes of Dinning and Tomlin who both had a very different agenda to cloud your judgement!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it amounts to the same thing . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted January 15 Report Share Posted January 15 Tomlin was great on loan then put in decent to good numbers for about 3 months after joining permanently- free kick vs Aston Villa was a sublime strike but his attitude was suspect?
