    The top and bottom of it is Weghorst is a very decent footballer who scores goals. Sometimes a player and his club share no congruence for many reasons. I hope Pace takes the best offer and sends Weggy on his way ASAP. He still has 3/4 good seasons left in him.

    I can only remember one other player coming to Turf Moor who was as unpopular as Weghorst.

    It's competition time, can anyone remember Paul Stewart?

    The season in between we gained promotion to the premiership again he came back to us played a pre season game and the deadwood s booed him - when the point was it was top level football and he would have been ( exactly as your description) a fully committed run through walls - chase everything down type player for us - imo anyway that would have made us a stronger team last season and potentially given us more chances in more games ( we’ll never know ).

    As for Amdouni we needed to have the ball more for him to be effective in the right positions of the pitch -VK got shape and personnel wrong quite a bit last season ( however it’s a game of opinions we all know that ).
    But for me just 100% just isn’t enough anymore

    Interesting that Dyche seems to be linked to a lot of our players so VK must have had something right

    Esteve - Assignon and Larsen in the last two weeks or. So

    I think I’m a little more tolerant than you in just expecting players to tie their laces day 1 and mould into a team and deliver attractive football oh and Win more than lose .

    It didn’t work last year but let’s say section of our fans are too quick to write / slag players off imo.

    Weghorst will go for let’s say 5/6 million which tells me at his age he’s still a decent player and of the 12 million he cost 4 season back he’s better than we give him credit for.

    I remember him, we signed him on loan from Liverpool, if I remember right he looked a bit overweight and didn't seem very keen on running. I think he's possibly best remembered now as one of the answers to the quiz question, 'Which players have played in a North London derby, a Manchester derby, a Merseyside derby and a North East derby' ?
