Axel Disasi - signed on loan

[Clampy]

Not seen a great deal of him but we need a centre back and he might need a new challenge. It's fine by me.

[KevinGage]

The profile in terms of his attributes is exactly what we need. Hasn’t worked at Chelsea but it’s a shambles there. If he joins could be a good signing.

Indeed.

If we were signing him direct from Monaco plenty would be excited by this deal.

Sounds like Chelsea have used him in the wrong position and his game has suffered as a result.

I wonder when he decided he only wants Villa? Before or after the injury/departure list basically guarantees him a starting place.

According to Talkshite, the other interested club were Wolves.

Yeah, I bet Championship football was highly attractive!

[Footy-Vill]

So there's a Disasi thread now but what about Juan is that  Foythcoming ?

After he’d asked Madueke his opinion of Wolverhampton.

Comment from my Chelsea ST mate: "Thing about Disasi is......Maresca kept playing him at right back where he is useless. Can't get forward, not quick so if the ball was played in behind him, struggled to get back.......after his slow and ponderous turn. As a centre back, quite decent. But we kept on playing him at rb despite the empirical evidence of him being crap there."

I bet that was a tough decision.

Didn't Abraham turn them down when he was on loan to us in the Championship and they were a league above us?

Hmm... heard that before somewhere.

From everything I've read it seems he'll be a good acquisition, a level up from Carlos.  Let's give the guy a chance.

[Toronto Villa]

He's a big lad and seems quite quick with a good range of passing

There is more chance of Juan les Pins turning up in Aston park.

Wow, that was quick!

He did indeed. It seemed like everything was unravelling at that time so was a welcome bit of news.

As I recall, it was up to him and he turned down the Premier League as he felt he had unfinished business with us. Good lad, our Tammy.
