Position: Striker
The Austrian ace scored nine goals to top the Reserve League South scoring charts as Villa stormed to their third straight title. But the striker brings more than just goals to the table. He boasts a high work rate and electric pace, which can frighten defenders. One of the best examples of Weimann in full flow came in the Reserve League National Play-Off final against Manchester United at Old Trafford. He was at his devastating best and was rewarded by Martin O'Neill with call-up to the first team squad for the Premier League clash against Blackburn Rovers the following week. The omens were good for Weimann after he shot to prominence in pre-season of 2009-10. Not only did he score the first goal of the campaign in a 3-0 win over Peterborough United, he featured in the Peace Cup victories over Juventus, Porto and Atlante. After a season of progress at reserve level, the man from Vienna will be hoping to follow the path of Gabby Agbonlahor and Nathan Delfouneso into the first team. |
