However we should have got a replacement in before allowing Andi to leave (Perhaps we already have one lined up) but we have a paperthin squad and letting a natural goalscorer (in his right position) leave, leaves us even shorter on firepower and experienced championship quality players 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nick jones of hereford Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 It is understandable that Andy Weimann would want to finish his playing career nearer to where his family lives. I echo the comments about Andy being a great servant who had always given 100% and has been a leader and mentor for our younger players. Too often someone leaving results in thanks being given but capped off with snide comments. None of that for Andy Weimann which shows how much he is respected.. Reading this forum he will be sorely missed. I hope that when he comes back that he is given a generous applause.

Probably 2 things are happening here, firstly McCrorie, Roberts & Sykes will all be available next week (my guess is that 1 of these will be a sub today). Secondly we’ll have someone new in by the Watford match. This move isn’t taking place in isolation, it suits all parties & is part of funding changes to the current squad. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Andy and good luck for the future I would be staggered if he didn't receive a wonderful welcome back to Ashton Gate in the future. He's always given 100% for the jersey, he has scored plenty of important goals for the club and been a help to younger players. It feels like one of those win-win-win scenarios For Andi - a last big signing on fee and joining a massive club at Championship level who should push for promotion. For WBA - a man that gives 100% every game, knows the division and will weigh in with key goals during their run in For BCFC - free up the wages of an older player that we wouldn't be resigning, a player that hasn't had much game time under Manning and allow for a new forward to come through the door. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's been a very long time since we've had a group of good older experienced players like Wells, James, King, Weimann etc who help to set the daily high standards and help the younger players. Whilst you can put individual cases forward for all of them leaving, I think it will be a huge collective loss for us. Very much back to the LJ days.

Thats as someone with a CV who we’ve rarely attracted here , what an example for younger pros in he squad , and further down, happy to play any part , often to personal detriment or ideal , in helping the team The way he worked his way back from his ACL in the timescale a glaring example of everything AW Have always appreciated , and respected , and always will , any player that with relentless focus , gives absolutely everything week in week out , for the Club and he can absolutely wear that medal Theres not that many in reality that can , so a sad day , and genuine best of luck and good fortune to him ,if he departs 20 2 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supersonic Robin Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Gutted to see this. One of my favourite players in all my time watching Bristol City, and criminally underrated by many IMHO. As intelligent, disciplined, and hard-working a player as you will see, but with some real quality to support it too. 5.5 years of service. 50 league goals (including a few absolutely brilliant ones). Played almost every position on the pitch at some point. Club captain. Behaviours & attitude that embody everything you want from a player at your club. The word "legend" is often overused, but IMO Andi Weimann is as close to a club legend as anyone we've had in the last decade. Genuinely wish him all the best. Thank you, Andi. 5 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
