Popular Post AndyM3000 Posted June 5, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted June 5, 2015 We are going to sell Wiemann for 2 million pounds? Exactly who are we going to get on that kind of money that is any better? Anyone that can run around for 90 minutes? 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvfcTheObsession Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 The point is we won't buy someone for 2 million as a direct replacement, Weimann got almost zero game time under Sherwood anyway. It is quality we need in the squad not quantity, this 2m along with money from other sales will be used on bringing in a better attacking player. Robinson can take Weimann's place on the bench and be as effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVFCAM Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 I'm actually pretty gutted about what's happened to Andi. That first Lambert season, he was my first name on the team sheet, before Benteke even. His work rate, his shooting, his drive, he was excellent. Then he got his contract extended. Suddenly, he can't shoot for shit, his head is never over the ball and he skies it over or wide. Now he just runs around for 90 minutes doing very little. I'd love him to get back to his best form, but we don't really have the time to give him another run at it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post John Posted June 9, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted June 9, 2015 If he does move on then I wish him well and hope he can find the sort of form he produced for us in the past at Derby. Andi has given 100% effort every time he has put on our shirt and formed a nice partnership with Benteke. He also comes over as a player who has enjoyed playing for us and he played his part in keeping us in the top flight during his time with us. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El-Reacho Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Isn't that just loyalty bonuses though? That's different to his actual wages. Na, when a player finishes his contract at the end of the deal the club sometimes gives the player a loyalty bonus. Nothing to do with wages My understanding is that under contract law, when you breach a contract (or end a contract early), you have to pay damages suffered by the other side. The side suffering the damage cannot claim where damage has not arisen. Correct. I read the same in the secret footballer's book. The club is liable for the full contract. It is why you so rarely see transfer requests nowadays. That's crazy - what incentive do we have to sell him then if all we're really doing is freeing up a spot in the squad? What about Bent and the rest of the bomb squad? If we were going to have to pay up all their contracts even if teams had made transfer bids for them why didn't we just do that and get rid of them two or three years ago? It's not like we were expecting a fee for any of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AvfcTheObsession Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 (edited) The only thing I didn't like about him was when he scored v Hull a couple of seasons back, last home game of the season, and cupped his ears to the fans. He'd been getting stick because he'd been crap for most the season and scored about 3 goals in 35 appearances prior to that game. He did always work hard though, despite lacking talent, and I like Derby (proper club, good fans), so I hope the move goes through and he links up well with Bent.

The problem with most of our squad imho, they see that sort of return as doing enough. It isn't. We need players who demand more of themselves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the 'losers' tag Sherwood was talking about isn't it. I seem to remember Weimann tweeted after that season with a beer in hand saying 'job done', we'd just finished 16th on 38 points FFS. That is not job done for Aston Villa Football Club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
