sne Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 If he's ever going to get his career on track he needs to go somewhere where he'll start games and play on a weekly basis. Napoli won't be that place either (once their injury crisis clears up) Norwich already have a Manure loan but I'm sure most promotion chasing Championship sides would be happy to have him. Glasgow Rangers has Helander out after a knee surgery so maybe they'd be interested? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 I wouldn’t be opposed to his loan deal being curtailed. Always thought this was a bit of a sentimental signing as he hasn’t done a great deal since his last loan here when we were a championship team. I’d let him go, bring in a replacement in January and/or use Hause if needed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 This is a weird one. Ideally we sign him as I think if he can actually be an excellent PL player if he gets the games and the experience...but he's not good enough to play at the minute here. In a perfect world he'd be our player and we'd be loaning him out for games. I think we'll have some kind of regret in a get years not picking him up but it's not right for either party atm.

sne Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 He's 24 and has featured in a total of 83 career games of football at senior level all competitions. That is really not a lot is it. Joe Gomez, also 24 who's missed almost 2 full seasons due to injuries in the last 4 years has pretty much double that if you add his England games.

villaslash Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 I wonder if this made more sense as a loan when we were playing 3 at the back and you were bound to have more strain on the CB’s in general plus them moving more and needing to be rotated. Though he hasn’t had a lot of game time I think you need Hause plus another back up. Look at the next game, Mings is suspended and Konsa could easily need to be out at the same time. Unless we have another person to slot in I say keep him till the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know - we clearly missed out on favourable signings so found a cheap and familiar temporary solution. I didn’t think it was a great idea at the time and sadly nothing has changed my mind.

villa4europe Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 I think we just got a body in, we needed a 4th choice CB as a gap filler, he was available, we know him he knows us, quick and easy Turns out we don't actually need him... Sods law says that as soon he's gone and we're down to 3 we probably will need him Hause is better, I don't think Tuanzebe will make it as a PL starter, injuries and utd have done him, should never have signed that contract but he won't be the first and he won't be the last (ask Lingard...) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villaslash Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Interesting comments from SG about Axel. I figured we would want him to stay till end of season but sounds like there is interest even beyond that. May be PR/ pressure to keep the loan. https://www.skysports.com/football/news/12691/12506741/steven-gerrard-aston-villa-boss-wants-to-keep-axel-tuanzebe-at-the-club-amid-napoli-interestGerrard said: "It's very much in Ax's hands and Manchester United's hands.

M_Afro Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Seeming more and more likely that he will be off. I’m not all that bothered to be honest so long as we are getting another CH through the door. He isn’t good enough to start for us and he wants game time. Fair play to him for wanting to push himself. If we get Gomez on loan as a replacement then it’s win win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WallisFrizz Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Didn’t we pay a load of money to loan him? If they cancel the loan do they have to refund us? Can they even cancel the loan of we’ve paid a couple of mil? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theboyangel Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Good luck to him but I think there’s a reason he’s only played a handful of premier league games for us or ManUre. We’ll deffo need a replacement though so wonder if the loan for Gomez is now a goer? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodders0223 Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 Fair enough. Never really made sense to come here when unless we played 5 he wasn't going to get in. He needs somewhere he is definitely going to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheltenham_villa Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 Makes sense, he's not playing, United surely want him somewhere he is getting minutes. Similar position to us in that respect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indigo Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 Always been a big fan of Axel but it definitely hasn't worked out this time around. Was brilliant in the promotion season and he seems a great character but not much point in him being on loan at Villa and rarely playing. Been surprised by how underwhelming he's been when he's gotten a chance but I suppose he's not been able to build up any momentum either. Napoli is a great move for him, it's good to see more English players making these kinds of moves abroad. Hope he smashes it over there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MachoFantastico Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 Was a massive fan of Axel in his first spell at the club, but his whole career feels like it's stuttering right now. Be fascinated to see how he does over in Italy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
