Suppose its all myths and rumours but he was a bloody good player solano, I think we got him for a million and sold him back 12 months later for 3 million, Iirc he got sent off in his last game for us v Portsmouth to force the move through Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted April 10, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted April 10, 2019 The Angel Baros 1-2 back and forth goal is one of my favourite Villa goals of all time. It was literally like a training ground goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forgot he'd even managed there. Wish he'd get a big job somewhere Souness. He sold us loads of good players Sold Staunton to us when he managed Liverpool aswell (and Dean Saunders).

It's easily forgotten but we were very close to actually making the top 4 that year after being in the bottom 3 at xmas. Think we went 4th two weeks before end of the season but Liverpool then woke up and won their last two. In typical Villa fashion we finished 6th in a year when Millwall reached the FA cup final so they went into europe instead. We then finished 6th four years later and Pompey won the cup! This club and timing.... I remember the wild debates on here and elsewhere about JPA. I thought he was alright but that injury he got at end of 03/04 finished him as a top premier league striker. He had a similar career here to Savo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awful ball control so couldn't lead a line and his one on one finishing was awful aswell. Scored against a few of the weaker prem teams in his 18 months but thought selling Vassell for 2m and buying him for 6m was poor business although we made it back by effectively swopping him for Carew.

He got 3 goals in derby games that season. He had electric pace and is certainly a player that needed a partner like Koller or ironically Carew somebody that was good in the air. I would say he was like a worse version of Gabby going by both careers amazingly he is still playing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMHO we never saw the best of Angel (03/04) aside because he was too clever for the player we had around him. And I agree the injury did ruin him really, Iirc he had an op on his knee which ended up getting infected and after that he lost a touch of pace. Not quite a legend but definitely a cult hero who as I said, I loved watching him play for us, he was still doing alrite for us when Mon bombed him off to New York 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapal_fan Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 I'd have loved to have seen him in a side with young, milner, solano and Carew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of Yorke's pre-date the Premier League formation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
