Popular Post Xela Posted January 1, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 1, 2022 I like Axel, and will always appreciate his contributions here, especially in the promotion season. However, he needs regular games at his age. He won't get that here, as he's not as good as Konsa. I think he definitely has potential but he needs to kickstart his career. Good luck Axel. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 Surely we don’t have to pay the e tire £5m loan fee now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Steve Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Was excited to see him back, but it didn't work out. All the best Axel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vive_La_Villa Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 (edited) He knows he won’t dislodge Mings and Konsa so can understand the move. I also think he’ll smash it in Italy. It’s a shit league. Good luck to him. Edited January 2, 2022 by Vive_La_Villa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he has a good 6 months, United will price Napoli out of a permanent move for him. I hope not for his sake but at some point he needs to take control of his career. Signing a 1 year extension at United before coming here was a bad move imo. All the best Axel but learn to be more selfish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 (edited) Probably would’ve started over Hause and the result may well have been different.. annoying. That said he hasn’t been great either so.. Edited January 2, 2022 by dudevillaisnice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 It seems he has chosen to move to them rather than to us, or they offered have Newton Heath more for him, if there was any agreed sale as part of the loan move. I can't see him getting many more games in Italy in the long run, but if the choice was his to make it was up to him (much the same as signing contracts at a club where he had no likely first team future). I will remember his previous contributions to us and that day at Wembley, rather than this current loan period. He looks like he has regressed, but staying with Newton Heath and sitting on their bench (at best) can do that to players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MellbergsBeard Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 If he joined us after the first loan his career would have been so different. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, he’d probably be on loan at Sheffield Wednesday or similar as still wouldn’t be good enough for a regular starting berth in the premier league. Sadly, I think the championship is his level - nice bloke but not good enough for top flight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bannedfromHandV Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Got bullied by the Barrow striker in the early cup game this season which was worrying at the time. Awful in the air, does not seem to have improved at all since his first spell here sadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomC Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Is the transfer official yet? I don't see any confirmation on Villa's, Man United's, or Napoli's web sites... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Just hope we don't get an defensive injury crisis. I can't see him ever playing for united regularly so surely a permeant transfer in the summer for him. He has only ever been a regular starter for us in 1 of the 3 loans periods at Villa. He needs games somewhere, anywhere, to get his career going again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villalad21 Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Watch him do well in Italy because he will get more time on the ball, it's less intensive, and watch our fans say we should have played him more etc. Seen the same with Guilbert. I'm happy that Guilbert has done well but context please. Premier League is a very different league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
