There has got to be a pun in the name somewhere. If we do get him on loan I expect H&V to deliver :)
No doubt. The only thing I can add is once I knew a colleague at Volvo and his name was Bengt Axel. G is silent for our amusement.

Down by my in laws there used to be an electrician called Bent Koch (ch pronounced ck). They could never understand my (albeit childish) amusement.

lol. When i started working, I had a colleague called Steve Sass. I used to take the calls for my department 

So when I got one with -"Can I talk to Steve Sass? my reply was "No but you can talk to his face!"

It still cracks me up to this day. Steve did find not it funny at all.

First words: Axel Tuanzebe on promotion, Steve Bruce and why Jose Mourinho wanted him to join Aston Villa

Axel Tuanzebe spoke to the Aston Villa Official Website at Bodymoor Heath upon signing on loan for the rest of the season.


On joining Aston Villa...

I'm delighted. The whole reason I'm here is to get minutes and I feel like the manager here is the one to give me that and help me progress.

On why this club is the right one to progress his career...

There's a challenge to get promoted here. That's a big motivation for me.
It's my goal, my purpose. There's nothing better to aim for.

On his style and attributes...

I can play various positions. I'd say I was most comfortable at centre back.
But I'm here to do whatever the manager needs me to do. I'm willing to help.

On why Jose Mourinho wanted him to come to Villa...

He knows it's a big club, first and foremost.
He also has a great relationship with the manager here. He trusts the people who work here, and it's the right place for me to be.
We both feel it's a great chance for me to go back in the summer a stronger player.

On Steve Bruce...

I'm looking forward to working with him. He's a good guy and a United legend.
There's no one better to point me in the right direction.

On John Terry and leadership...

Leadership comes naturally to me – it's who I am. I'm not afraid to discipline people when needed and help players out.
As for JT, I've watched him play a lot and you can see how much of a role model he is.
He's so calm, and uses his head. That's the next challenge for me, to become a smarter player.

On his one aim for himself and Aston Villa over the next few months...

Promotion, of course. That's the priority.
Not play-offs, either. It's getting that second place and coming away with a promotion on my CV.
It'd be a massive achievement.

How long is the loan and can he play in the playoffs, if required?
