http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Andreas-Weimann-c5768, the Aston Villa striker, has revealed he would prefer if the manager Paul Lambert brought in another striker at the club.
Alongside Darren Bent, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Gabriel-Agbonlahor-c14288 and Nathan Delfouneso, Weimann is the fourth senior striker at the club. It has been reported that Lambert is looking to bring in at least one more striker to create competition within the ranks at Villa Park.
The Austrian international revealed he is willing to fight for his place in the squad under Paul Lambert and would not mind competition. He managed to score just two goals last season, but is hopeful of doing better in the upcoming season with the Villans.
With the departure of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Nathan-Delfouneso-c27377 are the remaining strikers at the club. Weimann said he would not mind another striker coming in since he was determined to prove himself to the manager in pre-season training.
Weimann said while speaking to reporters:
“There's myself Gabby, Darren and Nathan now that Emile [Heskey] has gone. I think for myself it doesn't really matter if a new boy comes in because I've still got to be at my best in pre-season to show the gaffer what I can do.
If he thinks I'm good enough to play then I'll play. Obviously, if a new striker comes in it is good for the competition, but for myself I've got to be more concerned about showing the gaffer what I can do myself.”
The 20-year-old felt if he managed to impress the new Aston Villa manager http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Paul-c29347 Lambert, he would be able to earn a place in the first team for the upcoming season. He acknowledged the fact that there was a chance that he would not be a regular starter for the Villans.
Weimann made 11 appearances in all competitions and found the back of the net twice, while he is hoping to do better in the upcoming season he revealed he had not set any specific targets for himself.
He continued:
“I've never really set myself targets. I just go into the game and if I get a chance I'll try and score it. Whatever comes comes.”
