The worry is that he's attempting to disrupt a settled CB rotation that did well for them last season. And he's a loan player. It's not like Mings and Konsa were terrible, they were good. It'd be better for him to be sure of his minutes.

Even if they used this to pay for Messi, they'd still have to make more room for their new free-agent signings in Memphis, Agüero, Emerson Royal, and Eric García. With some of their sales, they've made a bit of room, but they've actually yet to make enough room for both Memphis and Agüero.Least subtle show of corruption ever. To think Barça once didn't even want a sponsor to now getting La Liga to sort out their mess. If anyone believes it's not to pay for Messi, I've a timeshare with a sea view in Birmingham to sell you. Shameless club, shameless league, desperate to hold onto their ageing, so-called god at the expense of other players at Barça.

Even if he's better than Mings, it's unlikely that Villa's manager would choose to start/develope him over their signed on players. This is bad loan imo. Axel needs games; a full season of games. Even a championship club would be better than sitting on Villa's bench.If he can't displace Mings he's got not future at United United anyway.

With that logic why would anyone ever go on a loan?Even if he's better than Mings, it's unlikely that Villa's manager would choose to start/develope him over their signed on players.

I would add that Smith knows all about Axel. It’s hardly high riskWith that logic why would anyone ever go on a loan?

Obviously some loans vary. I just feel Villa have a settled cb partnership and Dean Smith won't want to break that to develop a player that isn't his.With that logic why would anyone ever go on a loan?
The opposite would the Lingard example where he's one of their best players and walks straight into the team. Unfortunately I don't think this will be the case with Axel.

Welp. Okay we'll know if all of the people saying he can only cut it in a mediocre league were right.Looks like Lukaku to Chelsea is likely to happen this summer.

Tbf would people have said Lingard would be one of West Ham's best players prior to signing? Seems very much like hindsight to me. I think most assumed he would be a starter, but I think most would be lying if they were to say they expected him to have the impact he had.Obviously some loans vary.

The England striker has signed a three-year deal after joining for an undisclosed fee from Southampton.

Eh?????
There was nothing covered in Ings to Villa from the reliable journalists, either. This really did come out of nowhere.Tweet

Ings is a great signing for Villa.

Ings, Buendia and Bailey. With Tuanzebe to follow, this has been an incredible window for Villa. On paper, they’ve done brilliantly.Tweet

For him to disrupt Maguire and Varane would take a lot more. Konsa and Mings should be the least of his worries should he wish to succeed as a United-player. We have way to much love for our academy products and need to hold them to higher standards.

I do not see a tweet but
Market, from Chelsea 128 million for Lukaku. Inter says yes and goes in search of the substitute: Vlahovic on pole, then Zapata

For those wondering what the price for Ings was:
Is it just me, or is that a high amount?

judging from the last 2 tweets, give it 5 more and Ings will be a free transfer

Villa making moves this summer
Yes people would have said that. He used to be a regular starter for a better club than West Ham and was a regular in the England team. He just lost his way and needed a new environment.Tbf would people have said Lingard would be one of West Ham's best players prior to signing? Seems very much like hindsight to me. I think most assumed he would be a starter, but I think most would be lying if they were to say they expected him to have the impact he had.
