I don't get this. By far the best midfielder we've been linked with and far too good for us. Is it sarcastic or do people really think we could do better? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuwabatake Sanjuro Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 I still don't rate him, a slightly more energetic version of Westwood, he'd get the ball pass it sidewards to Hutton and the move breaks down. At least Hourihane and Lansbury can pass the ball forward. Also worth noting how good Gana is in comparison (slightly different position granted.) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted January 15, 2017 Moderator Share Posted January 15, 2017 Being better than what we have should be the absolute minimum requirement. He's not as good as I'd like us to have. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see many midfielders better than Cleverley being interested in a move to VP any time soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a highlights player...people went crazy as he scored a few 30 yard free kicks in Holland. Movement off the ball....tactical discipline....awareness of when to pass....nah nothing there.

In fairness he bagged a lot of goals in his last season at PSV, but then Afonso Alves looked like a monster in that league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Weimann (remember him!) has joined Wolves on loan and thus re-untied with Paul Lambert. Is that a small glimmer of hope that Lambert will make an approach for the much maligned Westwood???? We can live in hope!!! (Although I'm not as vitriolic about Westwood as many on here, I agree he is too 'damaged' here and needs to go) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czechlad Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 I always liked Weimann so I hope it works out for him. He had a lot of talent and I think we killed him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a bygone era he would have played alongside an Emile Heskey and forged a decent career for himself poaching a decent tally. As it is, he is neither here not there. He isn't a number 9 and he hasn't got the quality on the ball to play wide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisvilla4 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Berahino for 12m isn't a bad deal (potentially) IMO Stoke have done well here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
