I love these kinds of connections. Ashley Young is the link between two Colombian strikers who joined us 22 years apart. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He only said he’s not a direct replacement for Ings, perhaps he meant that we we’re getting him wether Ings was sold or not. For me I think he’ll start getting some minutes as early as next game, unless we got a new striker, then it might be a bit different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jhon effectively, and slightly controversially, took Tomas' place in the Colombia u20 squad. Obviously not Jhon's fault, but couldn't blame JPA for being a little bitter about it... but no. Not only not bitter, actually happy for a fellow Colombian to tread in his footsteps. Angel has a lot more class than the Reyna family 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to double check. JPA 5 mins sub was his last appearance for Villa in 3-1 away loss to Newcastle which was also Ashley Young debut Edited January 24, 2023 by Kiwivillan 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheepyvillian Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Great message from Pablo. What a handsome man he was in his prime, and not a bad player either. Hopefully we can have the same connection with Duran. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like the link when Charlie Aitken played on Johnny Dixon's last game for Villa, and then played with Sid Cowans in his last season with us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 JPA’s video welcoming Jhon has over 2 million views on Twitter alone. We really need to start maximising on Spanish-language stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Factory Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Either Jhon was tearing up on the JPA vid, or more likely his eyes were watering because it was friggin freezing when they filmed it. Angel was a great player, the goal he scored in the league cup quarter v Chelsea is still one of the best live goals I have ever seen. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he was a good player but underachieved more often than not. He had two good seasons but the rest were below average imo. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bannedfromHandV Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 I hope all future signings don’t expect a welcome message from a fellow countryman upon arrival. Might get a bit awkward when we next sign someone from Tanzania or Croatia and we have to roll out Samatta and Balaban……. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
