Until January is better than nothing - and no doubt if Weimann is enjoying his time here, he will be more than happy to stay until the end of the season.

I suppose the club have got to consider that if we do bring in another permanent signing as well, we will have 5 strikers (Including Deeney) and if we do have a partnership strike up that doesn't include Weimann, then he would be surplus, so the whole season would be a bit too much!

But let's hope him and Marvin can strike up a good partnership to start with!
 
Doesn't look to be our last signing, either;

Rest assured @kwallerwfc and others, we're still active in the transfer market. Whether it'll be ahead of Sunday it's hard to say.#watfordfc
 
I don't see Andi Weimann as an out and out goal poacher, but then I don't believe that a player on his own can be a simple solution. It all comes down to partnerships and maybe he is the type of player needed alongside Marvin which will get him being the poacher. Whatever role he plays it has to strengthen the options up front.
 
Weimann showed signs of being clinical when he had a few starts and shook off the rustiness. He was certainly a willing runner & would be the answer to what we have been missing so far in the channels.

If that crazy rumour about Macheda came true that would really change the atmosphere around the Vic!
 
With him and Sordell up front, we'd certainly have one of the most hard working front pair in the division! It'll be good to see what he is like with a consistent run in the team!

Also, thinking out loud more than anything.... but with QPR in for Barton and Wright-Phillips plus whoever they will be signing in the next week, would it be worth putting in a cheeky bid for Tommy, be it on loan or just a few hundred grand starting bid?!
 
Just wishful thinking.... but surely he will drop down the pecking order with 'bigger' names coming in!

I can't see us getting him, just thought it might be worth to enquire...
 
Personally I don't think Weimann is the answer. I am also not sure that he should be played as an out and out striker and he certainly is not nearly clinical enough when it comes to goal scoring. We now have a bigger squad and there is less chance of Whichelow, Massey and Mingoia getting a start. We are producing plenty of opportunities and need someone who can put these away in order to give the rest of the squad some confidence.
Would love to be proved wrong mind!
 
I think with a run in the team he could get a reasonable number of goals. He showed at home to Palace and away at Reading that he certainly has the ability to score instinctive finishes. Was a little too similar to Graham for that partnership to work last season, and never really had a solid run in the team. Could be the answer to our problems, but it's impossible to tell. Certainly a good addition though.

I agree and with the news of his fellow Villan signing perm soon it seems he will be able to help Hogg feel at home and settle in quickly.

I think it also means no further signings..........maybe?
 
According to some tweets ALF is joining Reading :( another that got away or just rumour control that we were in fact interested?

@philmcnulty We're reporting on BBC Radio Sheffield that Adam Le Fondre will complete a move to Reading tomorrow. Big opportunity, deserved.
