Axel Tuanzebe - gone

[frank black]

Would imagine he'll be back soon as surely the loan would've been terminated otherwise?

I'm not sure you can injure someone else's player then send them back, with a note saying "no thanks".😂

If he was out for the season then he’d have been sent back to recover at his parent club as there would be no reason for him to stay.

I believe that’s exactly where he is now. Man U sorted his operation and recovery as you’d expect I suppose. Not sure if he back yet?

[London Villan]

Could he play in front of the back 4?

Could he play in front of the back 4?

Yes, I think so.

I very much doubt we will see him in a Villa shirt again - but I'd love to be proved wrong

[mr underhill]

you might be right, both loans to us have been cut very short by injury.

Unless Yanited want his fitness proved next season and are happy to put  him out to loan again.
However, the new management team may feel that loans will not support long-term squad development; who knows, at this stage.

Tuanzebe has posted on Instagram that he's close to fitness and will return soon - early next month. So much for people saying he won't play for us again this season!

Great, he might be back for that all important 15th place six pointer with Millwall.

[London Villan]

We can get him fit for his transfer to a premier league team.

a bit like Grealish then .........

Him and Mings would be excellent I think. Mings to win the headers and be the dominant CB and Axel can drop off and read the game more, both comfortable with the ball.

Think that's the sort of combination that would've got us into the play offs if we'd had both in August.

[mr underhill]

autos very possibly - what the fuck was Bruce thinking off, playing him at right back and Jedi at CB. One of many incomprehensible decisions that handicapped us from the get go.

We still conceded goals by the bucket full with Tuanzebe at centre back. Very good player on the ball, particularly in comparison to the Jedi, but pace aside he wasn't much of a defender. Was roasted in particular against Forest by Grabban. Right back he was rubbish, that was a nonsense Bruce fudge.

We miss him more with the ball, he was very comfortable stepping into midfield, helping the likes of Hourihane. That's not Elphicks game, arguably Elphick has improved us defensively though.

Yes, Tuanzebe is another one of those players who seems to have got better by not playing.  He is quick and useful on the ball but was also guilty of lacking concentration and we conceded plenty of goals with him in the side.  That said, I'd like to see him at right back, alongside Chester, Mings and Hause. 

[Toronto Villa]

He may now end up playing RB with Hutton gone. I wouldn’t break up Mings/Elphick at this point. That or at DM
