hogso Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I like the kid a lot, a whole lot actually, but I don't think we'll see him and Bent starting together when Bent is back (putting all talk of relegation, x player leaving in the summer, etc. aside), as I'm not quite sure how they'd operate together. There's no doubt he's the 2nd choice striker behind Bent though by a very large distance, and with Heskey surely on he way out in the summer I hope to see a lot more of him next season - even if it isn't playing with Bent. If they did strike up a partnership though I would be over the moon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supertom46 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I though he looked like he was trying yesterday before being forced off with injury. Of course putting in a shift is the least I expect! He's obviously carrying an injury. Go with Andreas up on his own against Bolton with five in midfield! Albrighton-----Herd-----Bannan-----Zog ------------Ireland------------------------ ------------------------Weimann---------- ??? Nice look about it, though I'd play... Carruthers--Herd---Gardner--N'Zogbia -----------Ireland------------------------- -----------------------Weimann---------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lot of people down on Marc this season and no doubt he's not been as good as last but he has something about him a d I believe there are goals in him. Fancy Weimann for a goal tonight!

AVFCforever1991 Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 I think carruthers should start, the kid has got boat loads of confidence and talent, we have given every other youngster a chance why not him aswell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shillzz Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 I think carruthers should start, the kid has got boat loads of confidence and talent.. Think it would be a bit unfair on the lad to chuck him in at the deep end for our biggest game of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCforever1991 Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 What so its alrite to put the Pressure on gardner and weimann though? If they start that is. Or at least give him a couple of starts at the end of the campaign if we are safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chappy Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Putting money on him again tonight. Really love this player, hope he can stay in the team next season up top with DB9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it would be a bit unfair on the lad to chuck him in at the deep end for our biggest game of the season. He said he wants to play and is raring to go.. It would not be unfair if the player wants to play. http://www.birminghammail.net/birmingham-sport/aston-villa-fc/aston-villa-news/2012/04/16/aston-villa-samir-carruthers-hungry-to-impress-alex-mcleish-97319-30771016/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philosopher Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Glad the lad wants to play any player worth there salt will want to play in critical matches like these. At some point they are going to have to jump in at the deep end! The only thing unfair is the shitty supply our attackers get mainly as a result of the boring negative tactics of the manager!

Czechlad Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 I feel like him and Bent are too similar took work well together. They may make the same runs but who knows. I'd love to give it a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philosopher Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 If Gabby is out and Heskey plays with Weimann that might work, Weimann looks intelligent enough to feed off heskey's flick on's. But maybe not! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HolteEndRob Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 I reckon he'll score quite a few goals for us in the Championship next season! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briny_ear Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 have been a tiny bit disappointed with this lad in the past few matches. He hasn't shown the killer instinct in front of goal I thought he had after that goal against Fulham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dchitz Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 have been a tiny bit disappointed with this lad in the past few matches. He hasn't shown the killer instinct in front of goal I thought he had after that goal against Fulham. He try's hard but I'd expect that off any 20 year old tryna prove themself....wish I could say it about older players but it's simply not the case once they get a big contract,effort drops, unfortunately I don't rate him, he's typical of a youth player at the mo, plenty of graft, battling and shouting but his runs are very naive, hold up play is non existent, poor first touch And finishing has left a lot to be desired....has a lot to do if he's going to be a permanent fixture next year but at the moment desperate times call for desperate measures and he's prob the best of a below average bunch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaGoMarching Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 The kids carry an injury, clearly showed again after an hour (like against Sunderland) He'll come good but at this rate it won't be with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kwan Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Thought he played okay. Is it me though or is his first touch atrocious? So many times he would fumble with it and give it away and doesn't really hold the ball up well. Granted, he can't do everything, but a longer run in the side does open him up to some criticism.

He hasn't shown the killer instinct in front of goal I thought he had after that goal against Fulham. While I like Weimann and am happy him playing at the moment he's never scored enough in the reserves to have that killer instinct on the Premier League! Great desire to progress and do well though!

Condimentalist Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Goal of the season is probably deserved although Gabby must have run him close. I'd have given Herd young player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
