Should've started vs Derby ahead of Smalling. This lad is superb. Needs minutes now though. Might be time for a loan.
Would be a bit lonely at Upton Park if he shacks up there.Finally!
Looks like Axel will head to Upton Park for the remainder of the season.Tweet

Doubt it, I hear there's a thriving community living there now.Would be a bit lonely at Upton Park if he shacks up there.
Who else other than Brucey?Good news, how are Villa doing these days? Who's in charge over there?
Feck yeah. I had no idea. No better man.Who else other than Brucey?
That'll do, classic centre-back and United hero.Who else other than Brucey?
Had a quick read of Villa forum I am on and some seem to think he might be for DM cover. Although some also mentioning Elphick may leave.Looking at Whoscored, seems like Glen Whelan might be completely washed at DM, which makes sense since he's 33, but they have some decent Champo level CBs in Terry, Chester and Elphick and Mohammady doing okay at RB when Hutton isn't in there also being washed. Wonder if Axel will end up starting at DM for them?
Why, does it turn you gay?Aston Villa! Hope he doesn't have a girlfriend.
JTWhy, does it turn you gay?
At least JT's racist, so no worry
He is highly rated, strong, quick and composed on the ball. He is still a rookie though.He's highly rated with you guys isn't he? I remember him playing well in a few of the games at the end of last season.
He'll get games. Looks like we're selling Elphick even though he's in the best form for us since joining and Terry's been out for two months. Our only other back up is Chris Samba.
PL sides don't play loan players with practically zero experience. He'll be lucky if a Championship side in Villa will even give him that faith. It doesn't really matter how talented he is, PL clubs just aren't going to do it. If he can get regular games in the Championship he is much better off there.Can't believe a PL side wouldn't be interested in him, he's better than a lot of CB's getting regular game time down at the bottom end of the table
Kind quite figure out whether you are talking about Tuanzebe or TerryHe is highly rated, strong, quick and composed on the ball. He is still a rookie though.

Reading took Nathan Ake when he had about 120 more mins playing time in all competitions, than Tuanzebe currently has. Watford then used him in the PL the following season after 5 starts for Reading in the Championship. The most interesting aspect of Ake's development path is that Watford used him as a left-back, giving him 20 PL starts that season. His early mins for Chelsea were largely as a defensive midfielder. Bournemouth were the first team to risk him in central defence for more than a single game, though Chelsea had used him as a central defender in their youth system.Rubbish Palace are playing Fosu Mensah who has practically the same amount of PL experience as Tuanzebe has
Bournemouth played Ake when he had barely kicked a ball for Chelsea
Those are just two examples I can think of off the top of my head
Gabriel? The one who looks like his teeth are trying to escape? Pretty sure they sold him.He's already better than 3 out the 4 possible CBs at Arsenal. Is the guy who looks like a goat still there?

Spoke to Villa fans last time. He said they are happy with their current defense especially centre back pair Terry & Chester and he hopes there is nothing change in their back for. He said when Terry is fit, their defense is solid but they lack of backup centre back who can cover Terry when he's injured, Samba was poor as their backup. I checked that Terry has played 18 games out of 28 games. Assuming Terry might miss another 10, I think Tuanzebe playing 10 league game as centre back while also learn from Bruce & Terry can help his development.Anyone know what their defence is looking like?
