Axel Tuanzebe - gone

[Hookeysmith]

A poster in one of the match related threads said that the player reminded him of of a young Micah Richards, who uses his physical attributes to good effect to mask his footballing prowess, and it struck me as a good comparison.

Looks more like the current Micah Richards to me.

His hide and seek skills are certainly on a par with the waste of space Richards

[dcdavecollett]

Thought AT had a decent first-half at Bolton, though he needed to get further forward, like Elmo does.

After the break, he just looked tired and hardly got forward at all.

Can't play 2 matches in 3 days. Expect  to line up somewhere 2mrw maybe even centre back! Could give JT a rest.
If not decent at rb and then Elmo for Cardiff unless Hutton recovers for Tuesday

[cdbearsfan]

He's back for another season's loan. Hopefully he'll have more luck with injuries this season. Assume he will want to play centre back. It's nice to at least have some competition there as having Elphick as unopposed first choice gives me The Fear.

[Fred Crump]

Yeay ! One and a half cheers

Very happy he's back. As long as he's not played out of position and allowed to fight for the central defender role, I'm expecting him to impress and have a very good season.

Smart move, Bruce. Well done.

I admire your optimism - let's hope it's justified. I was encouraged at Fulham last February but saw nothing thereafter to justify the hype.

He had a season to learn from Chester and Terry. He's learned at Man Utd previously too. He's being managed by Bruce and Calderwood, both seasoned Centre Backs so let's hope some of that sticks and that he's given a chance this year.

[Toronto Villa]

Happy about this. At CB next to Chester he’ll improve across the season. Welcome back Axel

Half a season with Chester & Terry but what really impresses me about the lad is his speed. Last month he recorded the fastest time to clear a game of Hungry Hippos in a time of 17.36 seconds, a new world record and a place in the Guinness Book of Records.

[oldtimernow]

Fingers crossed for a fit season and some real progress.

[PaulWinch again]

Welcome back Axel, stay fit and play brilliantly please.

[Risso]

If he can play to his potential he'll hopefully have a better season than last year.  Needs to play centrally where his speed should be an asset.  If we're going to play 3-5-2 you need somebody with a bit of pace in there ideally.

[kippaxvilla2]

Micah Richards had pace once....

Oh well welcome back - didn't get a chance to prove himself with injuries really.
