markavfc40 Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 (edited) We are going to again need 4 or 5 loans to supplement the squad and I wouldn't mind Axel being one of those. He clearly has ability and his versatility would be another plus. As was the case last season I'd expect that that top clubs in the Premier League would see playing for Aston Villa as a good place for their better youngsters to continue to develop and gain experience and we can benefit from that again next season.

Nabby Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 My concern would be is seems very injury prone but maybe a clean preseason and he will be good to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've said a few times I think he could flourish as a DM. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czechlad Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 His passing from right back has given me almost no indication he'd work in the DM spot to be honest. I think it's centerback or nothing for the kid. At DM, you need to be able to pass well, and be comfortable on the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 Came in, spoke a lot, played little, got injured, will never play for Villa again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shay Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 If Terry and Samba leaves, then im all for this kid to partner Chester next season, along with Mitch Clark as back up. Time to give the kids a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

8pints Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 He does pass well and look comfortable on the ball though. The problem for me when he played right back was that he wasn't adventurous enough. He played some tidy football on the right wing but the problem was it wasn't penetrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 this might mean his loan fee goes up Quote Axel Tuanzebe breaks bizarre Guinness World Record on Manchester United pre-season tour A look behind the scenes on Man Utd's pre-season tour in America where 20-year-old defender Axel Tuanzebe has set a World Record. Axel Tuanzebe will have been hoping to make his third Manchester United pre-season tour one to remember and he managed to do that just two days into the trip. After spending most of last season out on loan, the 20-year-old will be hoping to show Jose Mourinho what he's been missing ahead of the new campaign but he's managed to impress his team-mates off the pitch. The defender posted a picture of himself holding a Guinness Book of World Records certificate along with a video of some of the United coaching staff chanting his name. Another picture posted by Andreas Pereira seemed to suggest Tuanzebe had set the record for playing the game Hungry Hippos. The only current record he could have broken is fastest time to clear a game of Hungry Hungry Hippos, something which was previously attempted by Jamie Redknapp, Freddie Flintoff, Jack Whitehall and James Corden on a League of Their Own. The record is for the fastest time to clear a single game of Hungry Hungry Hippos and can only be attempted by an individual. At present there's no video footage of the attempt taking place but no doubt it will make its way out before the tour is over. Not a bad way for the 20-year-old to start his third first team pre-season tour! https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/man-utd-tuanzebe-world-record-14923653 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second both of your comments. While he was here his spell didn't work all that well, unable to break into the team at the time, then injured and both combined with being slightly homesick was not a good loan. However, his promising ability and from what I know I would deffo give him another loan here, sadly though it is a 20/80 chance of happening as things stand at B6.

What do you know? Did you see a lot of him when he was at Man Utd? edit: sorry that “what do you know?” Wasn’t meant to be negative. Wasn’t referencing the part of your post that said “from what I know”. Edited July 21, 2018 by Stevo985 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommybread Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 (edited) I wouldn't mind if he returned to you but only if he was going to be starter at CB. No point wasting more of his time on the bench or being played at RB or at LB while Jedinak is played over him at CB. He needs a proper Championship load where he will play nearly every game and at CB. His hungry hungry hippos opponent RoShaun Williams is another very talented CB who was dominating the u23s at 16 and I personally had him rated slightly higher than Axel and TFM. Unfortunately had a bad injury 2 years ago and didn't look as good in a struggling u23s side last season.

Demitri_C Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 I'd take him back at CB. Although I think he could do well at dm also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nigel Posted July 22, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted July 22, 2018 I think he would make an excellent partner for Chester this season! The bloke is a physical monster. Would add much needed speed to the back line too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
