On February 2, discussions began to break down. Villa viewed Chelsea’s loan conditions as too expensive, with the loan fee plus coverage of a percentage of his salary dismissed. Villa felt being rivals for a Champions League spot with Chelsea made an arrangement harder to find.

----

With the France international remaining keen to move to the Midlands, Villa restarted talks late in the evening despite Tottenham being the favourites. There was a breakthrough; a £5m straight loan was agreed"

For all the "horrid Chelsea, messing us around" hyperbole, what it appears actually happened was they told us how much they wanted us to pay to borrow their player, we said no, we left it for two weeks and then went back on the last day and just paid them what they asked us to pay in the first place.

So we could have just done that and had an actual centre-back in the squad for Wolves.

He's signed so I can now discuss.


Honestly I am truly honoured to you all.
Well done to you on this thread less of this plural talk to an individual thank you.
Great insights at the end of the day for forecasting the transfer as it looked Feb 2nd it wasn't to materialise but the magic happened so I voted yes to thread being here!

The transfer and the thread itself was an Axel of Awesome in many ways

Thanks and to Dave's point could have been done a lot quicker by the sounds of it.

Maybe, or maybe the quoted price was different, or the percentage of salary, or any other number of variables.

I was watching videos about Axel yesterday evening, interesting stuff, general opinion is he's suffered the same thing that Rashford has, manager after manager different opinion of players general instability, fallen out of favour, nothing to do with his ability, commenting on his main attributes, he has the ability in the box to read the game way faster than a lot of defenders, example given, was a cross from a corner, a set piece situation, all the other defenders stood around in the box taking up there designated marking positions, Axel knew precisely where the ball was going, while the ball was still in the air and knew precisely where he should be to counter that, had the courage to make his move, left his marking roll, got to the ball and using his body strength to clear it.

Just what Villa needs, last thing we need is another ball watcher.

There's something about him that I really like (with the caveat that I wasn't consciously aware of his existence until we were linked with him the other week).

He strikes me as the type of player that loves defending. Can't get enough of it. He celebrates tackles like they're goals, he get's stuck in as soon as the opportunity arises and when he goes up for a header he flies at the ball like it said something uncomplimentary about his loved ones. Compare that to Pau, who is up there as one of my favourite players, but he does tend to treat defending like I used to treat General Studies lessons at college - I'll do it because I have to, but that's not why I'm really here.

As a team, we're far too passive. So far this season, the best way to score a goal against us has been to try to score a goal against us. We will almost definitely buckle under that kind of pressure. Zero resilience. Tyrone has helped in that regard, and I don't think it's a coincidence that our defensive record got considerably better when he was back in the team. I hope Axel will have an even greater impact, and hopefully encourage some of our other players to put up a bit more of a fight when things get tough. A little less waving your arms in the air as you gracefully fall to the ground (Ezri - I'm looking at you), and taking a bit more responsibility.

I wonder how many of our players would have gone to Spurs if they had been in Axel's position yesterday. Axel didn't. He knew what he wanted, and he made sure he got it. I like him.

I hope he turns out to be a massive success. I also hope he makes Konsa better because Diego didn't. Konsa needs to pick up his game. Competition will help with that. Also a settled defensive partner, and not being shunted between RB and CB. If Disasi replaces Konsa after all that then we will have a hell of a player on our hands. And he's already going to be popular for telling Spurs to fuck off, and helping to ensure he got his move to us last night.

I think he’ll start on Sunday and Konsa will get shifted to RB.

And neither of them able to pass a ball!

Id start Disasi in our next game at RCB. In all the talk about our injured CBs it is being somewhat ignored how rotten Konsa has been for ages. I've got the stage where I can't stand him, blaming all around him for Cunha making him a mug ffs
