Popular Post The Moustache of Teale Posted August 8, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 8, 2021 Really sensible addition that fills a gap and strengthens the squad options. Big, powerful left sided CB, win headers at the back = Mings / Hause Cultured right sided CB, read the game well, excellent on the ground = Konsa / Tuanzebe 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

United website states that he’s signed a new contract before joining us, which ties him to them until June 2023, with the option of a further year. EXTERNAL WEBSITE Axel Tuanzebe will spend the 2021/22 campaign on loan at Aston Villa after agreeing a season-long move to the Premier League club. The 23-year-old has also signed a new contract at Manchester United, lasting until June 2023 with the option of an additional year's extension.

Junxs Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Man Utd and Axel Tuanzebe are the ones benefitting from this (depending on how much he plays) On one hand we are moaning that we can only find lower league and non league teams to take our loan players and the other hand we seem delighted with this loan. Small club mentality How often are we going to have 2 CBs out at the same time? why cant one of our youngsters fill in for the odd game should that situation occur? Engels was 4th choice last season and didnt need him once I really hope we haven't made any promises on appearances, rather we just bought him for 5m. Really don't like loans 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really don't like loans Because they're not ready. As for Engels - be glad we didn't need him. He wasn't good enough otherwise he'd have played in the early cup rounds at the very least. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWARLEY2 Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Junx i think you will find the loan will suit us. We have two highly rated 17 year old centre halves and a 16 year old. Give them another year and 1 of them will have hopefully pushed on and into the squad. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hope this doesn't block Konsas development I have developed an extreme hatred for the "Super League 6" and moves like this to develop their players makes me sick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fear not I'm more worried for Hause tbh, he was covering both LCB & RCB I really hope Axel doesnt play any games ahead of our own 3 (other than early round cup games) Just when I thought we were becoming a big club we go do this, want to be competing with Man Utd, not loaning their players for development 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I want and what actually happens are 2 very different things. Theres a reason Man Utd have sent him to us rather than sit on their bench. they feel he will play more here - and we don't know whats written in the contract Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theres a reason Man Utd have sent him to us rather than sit on their bench. they feel he will play more here - and we don't know whats written in the contract There definitely won’t be anything about appearances in the contract. He’s come here because he’ll be on the bench and can try to challenge for a place, and at United he’s behind Varane, Maguire, Lindeloef and Bailly - and even though he’s better than the last two they are on such massive contracts United can’t loan them out. But he’s not going to be starting ahead of Konsa or Mings, and Hause would get the nod if Mings was out. It’s a very smart signing and pretty much exactly how we should be using loans.

However in this scenario I highly doubt we would have agreed to play him X or Y, and I would bet hard earned cash he won't be chosen ahead of mings and konsa, I imagine he will just fill in as required, play the odd cup game etc, cover for injuries etc, and fill a 3rd or 4th choice CD slot without us spending a lot on it. In terms of the loan, rather than spend 20m on a backup CB, if this loans gives us that much more to Improve the first 11 this summer, then I'm OK with it for now, priorities and all that. But yeah, I do agree with your sentiment in principle. Edited August 8, 2021 by MaVilla 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah, I do agree with your sentiment in principle. This, exactly. We need CB cover. To ‘buy’ anyone decent enough is going to be in this price bracket. White just went for £50m for gods sake, and I wouldn’t pick him before either of our first choices. We can spend £20m odd and give a 5 year contract on about £40/50k or even more, or we can bring in a loan, a player we know (and clearly like and trust his personality) for about £5-£6m for a year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingram85 Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 (edited) Its not that I don’t care about Hause’s and Konsa’s development but it’s more important to create competition for places to keep players on their toes and always playing their best, if they are good enough they will naturally develop alongside healthy competition. Axel coming back in provides exactly that. Edited August 8, 2021 by Ingram85 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Cahill on a 1-2 year deal would have provided just that, then could have been moved into a coaching role.. and we wouldnt be helping a greedy 6 club in the process 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has lived in london for over 12 years. Maybe his wife and kids don't want to move. The greedy 6 club is helping us by filling a gap for a year.
