I feel he’s relatively easy to upgrade in quality and in injury record. Or am I missing something? |  | | |  |

He’s not easy to upgrade in quality. He should be relatively easy to upgrade on the injury side, but anyone can have a run of bad luck. |  |

No way is he 'relatively easy to upgrade in quality'. |  |

I disagree about relatively easy to replace the quality, but I have repeated my concern of giving a contract to a player who has missed in excess of 3 seasons in total in his career, so you are bang on re injury record. He's played only 44 games in 2 years for us, around 50%.
If we were talking an outstanding international player, then I get it, but he is not at the level which makes him impossible to replace. |  | | |

I would be more concerned if we were losing him when entering the prem. We need a different type of defender in champs. |  | | |

Don't bother on here. Some people seem to exaggerate how good he is. People seem to forget he was also part of our mostly awful defence last season. He was a best right back, sure, but the other options weren't too great (for the PL).
I think Johnson is an adequate replacement and offers more attacking intent which hopefully we should see this season. We should be dominant in a lot of games. | | | |

Opportunity for Harry Clarke then.... who I'm not totally sure about, but he should be Championship-primed by now in terms of having plenty of Championship games under his belt as a young player... and, I think, time to step up.. or get out. | | | |

Tuanzebe IS very good. He's an outstanding defender at champ level and more than capable in the Prem.
That said I can live with this one as I'm sure he had good wages and his injury record is very suspect. Sad to see him go but we just move on. | |

as others have said, I rate him very highly, he is definitely one that is Premier standard, quality wise. That said, I would not be at all surprised if he only played 15-20 games next season. | |

Going forward he's nowhere near the standard of someone like Brandon Williams. Defending he was excellent. I guess how much we miss him will depend on how teams set up against us. I think we'll see a fair number of teams digging in at PR, and he might not get guaranteed game time if we are looking to break down many teams, rather than going toe to toe.

Really good player but if we had to give him a big contract to stay and he missed 10-15 games though injury it would have been disappointing.
Shame he chose to move on considering coming to Town probably saved his career. Burnley may well come straight back down again too. | | | |

Considering Burnley had the best defence in the Championship last season by a long way and they still want Axe, I think it demonstrates how much of a good defender we've just lost |  | | |

Massively important part of the side that went up and a big reason why Davis was so successful on the other side.
Nothing is a disaster, but this is a significant moment in how we approach this year. Clarke and Johnson will do OK, but neither are going to offer the balance that Tuanzebe gave us. |  | | |

Nuts innit. He kept some top players quiet last year, but apparently that’s going to be easy to replace in the Championship. We only got him because of his injury record. He was on track to be a ‘top top’ player. Obviously his stock has dropped a bit, but he’s still a very good defender who belongs in the PL.
Last time we were in the Championship before KM we had Chambo filling in at RB and chipping balls into the channels for… well, mostly the opposition’s left back. | |

We won't get a better defender in the championship, so in that sense it's always a downgrade. That said, it's not currently a disaster because we do have Johnson/Clarke who are both top end of the league RB's. |  |

Agree. He’s Premier League quality alright. One of the few players we had that genuinely was. Good professional and great character. On that basis he will be missed.
Sadly that injury record for a 27 year old isn’t good. For any division, you cannot accommodate too many injury prone players. Secondly he wants to play in the Premier League and not here, so fair enough. Thanks and good luck at Burnley.

I don’t think there’s any player that would be a ‘disaster’, including Omari. Definitely a shame though, Tuanzebe is class and the prospect of a fit version of him in the championship was exciting. Love him at RB, Rolls Royce and a hell of a 1v1 defender.
Alas, we move on. |  | | |

“Players come, players go”.
That’s the reality of it. Thanks for all the fish Axel, but we move on. Given that KM plucked him from obscurity and has effectively rejuvenated him, part of me is annoyed he’s turned his back on us. But that’s football. I’m looking forward to seeing what our plans are for next season. | |

What?
He's excellent and certainly not easy to upgrade.
He's not even left and history is being rewritten.

He was so bad that he's moving back to the PL.
Some weird takes in this thread.

I guess I just want a Davis-style RB. For me, very frustrated with the amount of times he would turn backwards - as opposed to choosing a forward pass/option. This was also evident in the championship. Added to which, his injury record was atrocious. Gimme a younger, more athletic Tuanzebe and I’m all in! | | | |

You don't think Tuanzebe was athletic?

We'd concede about a 100 goals a season if both flanks were set up to operate like the left one does. | |

In no way will it be relatively easy to upgrade on Axel - and certainly not without having to pay a good amount of money. |  | | |

The only silver lining is that - as demonstrated in his time here - we would almost have certainly have been without him for large chunks of the season anyway but that's just about the only upside I can see to this.
Although I wish him well, certainly can't blame him taking this opportunity. | |

His run of bad luck has lasted several years now. |  |
