That’s the reason I would rather a new CB (Tuanzebe, anyone?) than Buendia. It depends on our budget, I suppose. It also depends on whether we’ve told Grealish he can go back to his preferred CM position. Personally, I’m actually quite happy with the choice of Mings, Konsa, Hause and Engels. I know some people want Engels gone, but I still think there’s a good player there. Let’s not forget at the start of last season him and Mings looked great, and Smith (and Brentford, with their trusty recruitment) had chased him for a while. But it seems that after 5-6 bad games (or games with a handful of clangers) loads have people have written him off. Just like they did with Reina when he had a few bad games, but then U-turned after he had a decent Project Restart. If we really want a safety net then I’d go for an experienced loan defender. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob182 Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 Konsa has overtaken Tuanzebe in development terms now. Tuanzebe would need to be a hell of a cut price deal for me to want him now. I’m talking £10-13m ish. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would take him tomorrow. There is too much of his injury used against him tbf and Olé the wolly hasn't given him a fair crack either. There is still a damn good defender in there and more than capable at this level given a fair run in a first team. Sign him up Villa! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure I'd take him back now, would rather develop Konsa. If we're going to go for another CB i'd rather it be someone with a lot of experience. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rayk Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 Funnily enough I do think Axel could still be a signing for us. Utd have called up Mengi for the first team squad and that doesn’t look great for Axel. its either us or Leeds or Burnley imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkyvilla Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 Axel on a loan-to-buy would be perfect. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has and I cannot argue with that, they cannot command anymore than £10-12m on a defender they have no intention of playing. 8 minutes ago, PieFacE said: Tuanzebe did himself absolutely no favours by signing that contract at Man UTD.

I agree that we focus on developing Konsa, and having Axel as a useful backup. (Sorry lads, ran out of likes for each of your posts.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IN the begining of the summer there were rumours that we were after one, but the last links I've only seen GK, MF, winger and striker being mentioned. Worrying! Mings wont be able to play every game, and when he is out we are royally screwed. Re Axel, I'm not sure Man U will let him go, OGS said that they will be looking to give him some games when he is back. But I think we should be able to get in a fully capable CB for not too much money. Edited September 11, 2020 by Keener window-cleaner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He isn’t coming to us. I’m going all @rayk on this one! Well unless something changes before the deadline and he actually signs. Then you'd still be right he's not signing right now Quit sitting on the fence mate. Edited September 11, 2020 by BG_Villa_Fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tuanzebe would need to be a hell of a cut price deal for me to want him now. I’m talking £10-13m ish. I wouldn't see him costing more than 10m to be honest due to his lack of play time and injuries. He must be in his last year or two of his contract by now as well. Edit - Just looked him up he has 2 years left with an option for an extra.... FYI though he has played 10 times in the Premier League and 30 times in the Championship he is 23 in November, he has played 3700 mins in his entire career competitively, which is the equivalent of about 38 games almost solely in the Championship with us. For me there is no way they could legitimately demand a massive fee for him and realistically get it.

Exactly. Don't see the point with Axel. The man is barely ever fit to play. Waste of money. I really like him, but is sadly looking like he is becoming another Micah Richards.
