Manchester United's former England Under-21 defender Axel Tuanzebe, 23, wants to make his loan spell at Aston Villa a permanent move. (Sun)
I'd be far happier thinking loans lead to signing the players, if not, I wish we didn't use the system at all now (unless injuries force) because it isn't building it is just improving a player for another club.
Dont mind the loan system myself if it gets you a quality player that you would have no chance of signing otherwise, but I dont think Axel falls into that category. Lingard at West Ham shows it can work, he basically did what we thought Barkley was supposed to do for us.
Yes, I get that, but then, we have the money now to progress, otherwise - apart from in emergencies (I often quote the Kirally loan from years back) it isn't really building anything is it? You start to like the player then they are gone again. With billionaire owners, it doesn't seem to be something we need to do, unless there is an option to buy.
Again though, I dont think Axel falls into that category - he's a back up CB so seems like we couldnt get our main target and this was the fall back option. So in this circumstance I would agree
Someone who could play as part of a back three or as a DM would be a perfect signing for us, but I'm not sure Fabinho is on the market.
I hate to harp on, well not really but, Denis Zachariah of Monchengladbach will be 25 in November, is a defensive midfielder who can also play central defence and as a central midfielder, he's a Swiss international with approaching 40 caps and is out of contract in the summer.

It's being reported we are looking at Readings' John Swift once again. His contract is running down so if it's decided we go for him, he could be a decent addition to the squad.

He's foreign, sort of young, has to be hungry, and nobody has heard of him. So has to be top of the list

Absolutely no chance we're in for a player of this calibre.It's being reported we are looking at Readings' John Swift once again. His contract is running down so if it's decided we go for him, he could be a decent addition to the squad.
