I reckon the club were just happy to get him off the books,i get the impression he was a bit of a nob.
Sorry but selling Weiss for a million is just crap business whichever way you look at it, same with De Jong (3.5million ffs).CTID101 said:Well when no wants him what do we do? tell the only team interested he will be 20m.greasedupdeafguy said:Yes peanuts we got 1mill for him, even Obertan who was absolute shite at United went for 3million. Weiss has good loan spells at Rangers and Espanyol yet we got fuck all for him we may as well as just kept him as a squad player instead of buying Sinclair.CTID101 said:Peanuts?
Yeh because clubs were fighting over him. Fucking hell.
You make it sound like Real came in with a 20m bid and we said nah, here you Pescara just give us a mil.
Well Newcastle wanted Obertan and offered 3m so he went for that. Pescara wanted Weiss and offered 1m and no one else made a bid so we sold him not that hard to work out.
Likelihood is that Mancini doesn't rate him and besides he probably didn't want to stay and either be stuck on the bench or not in the team.
He has been on pre seasons etc in the past before so had plenty of time to make an impact and he hasn't impressed. End of.

True but what does 3.5mill really do for us we may as well just kept him for one last season (he may have even signed a new contract). Wasnt De Jong in the last year of his contract when we signed him and we payed about 16 mill for him.FantasyIreland said:greasedupdeafguy said:same with De Jong (3.5million ffs).
Or maybe not....
Besides DJ had no intention of sticking around,he was holding out for the move and probably hoping for a free.
