Axel Tuanzebe

[Slim Man]

I’ll take it. Better signing than Holgate. The fitness issues are the only things that have held him back in the past from having a very good PL career.

He’ll be fit more than Ciaran Clark was last year and we coped then.

 

[Gin&Juice]

In July 2018, he broke the Guinness World Record for the fastest time to individually clear a game of Hungry Hungry Hippos, while in Los Angeles on Manchester United's pre-season tour.

Egan competition/back up?

Well he certainly ain't no LCB!

 

[INTERUNITED]

I'm hoping we are going to sign 2 or 3 really good players, as we've spent virtually nothing so far and players like this won't keep us in the Prem. I get the feeling we may need to keep some of our budget back to employ another physio though.

Is that feeling in your arse cavity ?

Wrong forum mate, I think you probably need Grindr.

 

[T-Blade]

This one has come completely out the blue knew he was one off the very many free agents we’ve spoken to and know there were a few clubs interested in him too. Decent signing if he stays fit.

 

[dazzlingblade]

Clearly talented but played 63 games in 8 years, can we really afford a squad place on someone with his injury record, could be a masterstroke or a disaster

Tom Davies latest, we still talking to him?

 

[CaptainMorgans]

Meh.
Signing crocks as back-up doesn't sound the smartest of strategies. It's another signing that doesn't upgrade the XI.
Better than having no cover, but would've thought we might look at a young up & comer to succession plan for Egan.

 

[Skiliman]

Very good player, just needs to stay fit. Let’s hope it works out better than Rodwell

 

[Luke1993]

Will never forget the game against mbappe 2/3 years ago, he never got a kick. Hopefully he still has some of his pace and the injuries haven't ruined him.

 

[Bladesman]

 

[Sam64]

T-Blade, Hal from SheffUnitedWay and Blades Ramble all saying it's true after it was reported by Nixon. It's easy being ITK!

 

[Wards]

Meh

 

[Bladeinleeds]

Hard to complain with the budget we have really - let’s hope it’s another mcgoldrick or fleck type. Suspect he’d fill the role we had planned for Francis .

Often difficult to know what the deal is with some of the Man U cast offs. They Always arrive on the scene in a blaze of glory and either fizzle out and barely have a career (cofee / Wilson / marcheda ) or go on to have very creditable careers at the top level (cleverly / Heaton / McNeil etc).

I will say I’d rather we tried him on a team friendly deal instead of paying a couple of mill loan fee and 72k a week for Holgate.

 

[Frank the tank]

Less fannys on there i suppose

 

[SuperBobbyHatton]

He’s managed to play in 18 matches since 2021? Seems a big gamble even on a free!

 

[JohnDenver]

I’ve not followed his recent career (which presumably hasn’t been stellar) but I rated him as a kid on loan at Villa.

 

[Champagneblade]

I remember a striker from Ipswich who kept getting injuries.

Played almost every game for us for three years and is still loved now!

 

[Bladesman]

Fitness issues and its very much a gamble even on a free transfer.

I'd hope any deal is heavily weighted in our favour.

 

[CPB]

I'm sure he has talent, but at 25 years old he's barely played enough games to make up a full season....

Would hope we are being careful regards length and amount of contract.

As I said it could be a masterstroke, but Mcgoldrock 300 games in the last 10 years, tuanzebe 63 in 8 years, that worries me

1 year deal with the option of a 2nd.

Even a 1 year pay as you play deal.

 

[YES Blade]

With our budget, we’re always going to need to take the odd gamble here and there. So why not? I can’t imagine it’s going to be a big money deal.

 

[IOM Blade]

He's named after Axel Smeets, so it was always going to happen at some point.

 

[Blade58]

Wow 63 in 8. Is that purely because of injury, or could there be another reason, like he was with the first team squad way back but not getting a game?

 

[dazzlingblade]

I'm guessing it's a combination of the 2, finding it hard to break into any side, if he can't stay injury free on a regular basis, who knows

 

[bakeblade]

We've already taken a gamble on our first 3 signings, at some stage we need to be signing proven operators. Smacks of desperation to me

 

[DifferentClass]

Hope the medical was a thorough one given his history. At this rate the redevelopment of the training facilities will be just to incorporate an emergency department and in-house operating theatre

He's one of the few players to have to be stretchered ONTO the pitch!
