Prob the best kind of player we could attract nowadays but would want a decent wage.. wouldn’t we tie down Powell on a extended contract before we offered anybody anything else.. the longer we leave Powell the more likely he will go next summer.. looks like Powell’s new contract could be another foolish decision by our club.. in my opinion if he ain’t signed this summer he will be off elsewhere with a nice million or 2 signing on fee at the end of next season.. extending Chesters an Mikel’s contracts before Powell’s.. lets be honest here.. this club is never going too change with john an tony pulling the strings

www.otib.co.uk/index.php?/topic/212406-weimanns-contract/He was pretty much the only OOC player that i wanted to keep.
He's one of those players that you don't realise what he brings from an energy/drive perspective until he's not around.
AW was one of the reasons why we started off last season so well, and was a huge miss when he did his knee. Is his future at City, or will he have recovered fully from the ACL, i'm not so sure.
What i do know is we don't have anyone like him in the squad at the present.
The rebuild is of course, going to be huge; and time consuming. I would of at least exercised his option. As that gives us time to either renegotiate, and evaluate him in the new process.
I realise his wages are at the top end of our earners. But if we only committed for a further year, he could have been part of bringing the new team together.
My fear, is that as others have said he will get better offers elsewhere; and will leave us with yet another position to fill in the next 2.5 months until the season starts.-If true I’m a bit disappointed by this. We definitely missed his creativity for most of the season and he’s not a player that get injured that often. I’m guessing if true we are just trying to save money on the higher wage players -The only player I will miss if he ends up leaving. -IMO he's one of the few that gave his all everytime he put the shirt on. -My hunch is despite the injury his reputation will see him get a better offer from another Championship club & therefore he’ll be lining up against us next season. Personally although I am not in favour of usually doing this, I’d have offered him another year on his current money, he is the sort who is likely to come back from injury well & we will miss his energy & professionalism hugely if he departs. If so it simply makes the rebuilding of the squad even bigger. -Was hoping he’d stay, would’ve been great to see him in a NP team . -Agree with all of that. Difference between him and say Baker, a similar earner is huge to me. Several of the perceived bigger existing Championship sides (like Forest, WBA or Boro) will be interested, I think. -Weimann is one of the last few players that I actually like at the moment, bit disapointed but maybe his best days for us are behind him.

This one is going to happen isn’t it.
Free - check Been injured - check Can play in multiple positions - check Holden knows him well - check
To be honest he’s a decent player at this level but at 29/30 coming off the back of an ACL injury you run the risk of him being a busted flush.

If he’s recovering from ACL how will they assess the condition of his legs................count them? That’s our usual medical isn’t it

Would very much be a Powell replacement/back up? More of a right winger so id say he will take Campbell's position and Campbell will go upfront

He’s still unfit and recovering from ACL. We’re going to sign him not knowing if he’ll be the same player? Add Doughty to that and Tyrese and I really can’t see us signing Weimann! Sounds like a gambleThat's where we are at though. Our Owners like gambling.

I am a little concerned that there seems to be a malfunction on the Oatcake message board, or else Admin are operating censorship!
We are on the second page of a thread on a prospective new player and so far there has been no abuse or derision about the Guy. A little bit of suspicion perhaps and some reservations, but certainly not the vitriol and negativity from posters that we might usually expect. Are we actually to believe that this player is ok. Perhaps we are just being polite as it's Sunday. Or perhaps over this last season we have all been beaten into submission. It all seems very strange to me.

Would be odd to make him the poster boy for the new kit if he’s off, presumably this (if it happens) is to address the fact that if Powell isn’t in the team we have zero creativity and it’s a long season!

He tends to sign on a free when he does move. I would think we have offered him a contract but he is waiting to see if a better offer comes in either from us or someone else.

I remember Nzonzi & Begovic showcasing the new New Balance kits & they both moved on before the season began. Sure SJW may have done so one year aswell before his departure to Burnley. Does seem unlikely they'd use him for new kit release before an imminent departure but has happened before.

Holden link right there Is Weimann out of contract at Bristol City? Edit: year left on his contract so that requires a fee...or a swap deal There's about 8 players they could have... Been rumoured that they've been offered Vokes... We can but hope 🤞 If we swap Wardrobe for Weimann this could be Sheron/Scott Part 2 🤞

Did they sign him? Did he play? Did he score enough to get himself another move? You could repeat that again to get his move to Chelsea too, As you state, bad knee,
