Dale Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Excellent movement for his chance, bit better than static which forward players had been all game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaAlex Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Can only hope Andi wasn't fully fit else its an insult to play Delfouneso over him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8pints Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 He looks good, self-confident and hungry, certainly gave Everton more to think about whether they'd eased off or not. He could do with an experienced player who is a similar style to him to learn from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Weimann may do a little bit more with the ball at his feet though. Weimann can also shoot from outside the box ;P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think Bent is a hard player to learn from as he's very much a unique player, I can't think of any player who is close to Bent. Plus, like you say, Weimann has a few more strings to his bow. I see him as more of a dogfighter/scrapper than Bent too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, I think Weimann said he had learnt a lot of his poaching instincts from staying behind after training with Bent and practising with him. Yea I think Weimann fights for a lot of stuff and has a much higher work rate to Bent, possibly because of the age ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea I think Weimann fights for a lot of stuff and has a much higher work rate to Bent, possibly because of the age ? That'd make sense. Bent is definitely someone to learn from, composure under pressure, intelligence, choosing the right run at the right time, when to gamble, scoring in any way possible (Maybe Weimann's' goal against Fulham was a result of of learning from Bent?) I've always liked Bent, ever since I listened to him interviewed on the radio a long time ago. I like his mentality and philosophy about the role he plays. You see him in this video and he's like a more intelligent Agbonlahor the way he scores the majority of his goals here - Although he scored a goal like this against Everton in that 2-2 away game. He scores from any angle Still though, Weimann may benefit from someone who can be a good partner to Bent to learn other ways of playing as a forward.But currently, I'd like to see Weimann and Bent up front starting the game.

Tomaszk Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 I think Gabbo will be back in. We've missed him. Wiemann is a trier. Tommy Johnson for the new age. I really really used to enjoy watching Super Tom though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8pints Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Weimann may be an impact sub now for a while, learning his trade, coming on to hopefully leave his mark when the opposition are a bit tired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czechlad Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Surely he is 4th choice now. Bent, Benteke, Agbonlahor then Weimman? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8pints Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Surely he is 4th choice now. Bent, Benteke, Agbonlahor then Weimman? Yes, Maybe. But I see a competition between Holman/Albrighton/Agbonlahor and a competiton between Bent/Benteke/Weimann emerging. Or possibly it will be Benteke/Agbonlahor and Weimann being used as understudy to Bent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villaglint Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Just watched the highlights of Swansea game and Weimann had most of our best efforts on goal. Most of which were created by his sharpness in front of goal. Really think if he gets a goal he could have a good run - he's been very close to kicking that off in first few games of this season. Be interesting to see whether he gets the chances now with so much competition up front Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 He's looked decent, him and Bent could do with a goal or two for confidence, but yeah, more threatening than nathan d was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCforever1991 Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Certainly will be pushed with Benteke and a Fully fit Gabby, but this type of competition can only be good for the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaJay Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 A great prospect who hopefully will push on this season, been better than bent so far this season i think. Seems to get shots away without having many touches in the game, only had 15 touches against Swansea but got 4 shots off the most of any Villa player that game.
