Axel Disasi - signed on loan

[PaulWinch again]

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.

Rumoured to be a loan? Low-ish risk in an area we need bodies in, and quickly.

Loan to the end of the season with no option / obligation to buy him appears to be the story.

[LukeJames]

He's always looked at bit shit on the odd occasion I've actually seen Chelsea.

Edit. Actually I may be judging him on the Duran v Bayern style own goal he scored last season.

The last Chelsea defender we signed hasn't exactly wowed anyone as yet ...

I think the difference between Carlos and Disasi is negligible
just my honest opinion before I get accused of being to negative

[London Villan]

and probably £50k per week and £10m PSR credit...

[Rigadon]

If he makes as much of an impact as Maatsen it'll be pretty underwhelming to say the least.  Why are Chelsea happy to sell him, and sell him to us, one of their main challengers for CL qualification? 

[London Villan]

They have about 5 central defenders and have just brought one back from Palace. I hope we aren't paying them a lot in loan fee and wages.

Because they've got 450 first team players.

They see a chance of selling one of their many players and weakening one of their rivals at the same time
Win - Win according some random guy on X

[Toronto Villa]

And when a team has so many first team players some or most of those only get a few minutes of playing time with very few starts. It's hardly a surprise that when they do play they don't look their best.

Yes but there is a different in the situation. Releasing Carlos was right as we were half way to getting Bade. Now with Mings situation we are in dire straits. Money for nothing and free kicks….🙂

Haha, indeed, but it'd be weird to sell one or the good ones to an obvious rival wouldn't it?  I'm probably being overly negative, but buying another player from their fringes makes me nervous.

The negotiation between Aston Villa and Chelsea for Axel Disasi is for loan move (with loan fee) plus salary coverage.

Disasi said yes to Aston Villa and he’s not considering other options despite Italian and PL clubs linked.

He wants Villa, as exclusively revealed. 🤝🏻
