Emerys words on Duran are what I have thus far observed and thought.

"Duran has to improve, has to adapt, He has potential, of course, and we are speaking with him and the adaptation will be easy for him.
His mentality is good. Now we are going to work on his emotion when he is playing. It has an impact with his desires to score, wishing to show his performance.
But we have to take the balance when he is playing because, tactically, he has to learn. He has to adapt – he is doing it every day and we’re demanding with him.”

You've got to hand it to JPA, he cares about us post-career more than probably any other of our foreign import (EIRE and GOD excluded).

Mellberg maybe as well, he always comes across as being very happy to talk about us but maybe I see more of him because I have a lot of nordic friends/colleagues.

Laursen was over for the play-off final so retains an interest as well.

John Carew as well, although I don't think he'll be attending matches for a while.

I reckon his Scandinavian prison accommodation is probably better than Villa's corporate offering, anyway.

Did he actually go to jail in the end? I have visions of Martin O'Neill coming to visit him and calling him a rogue but smiling bashfully at the same time intimating that he could never give up on him.

Neil Rioch has proved himself to be a tireless worker for all causes Villa for many years now.

A piece on Durán, by Villa fan Luis Miguel Echegaray: https://www.espn.com/soccer/colombia-col/story/4907594/jhon-durans-journey-from-colombia-to-mls-to-aston-villa
Great piece.
Colombia play Jurgen Klinsmanns South Korea tomorrow 11am.
Duran likely to be involved in the friendly

Played the kast 20 minutes in a 2-2 draw v South Korea.
Managed to stray offside twice on couple of passes through to him.
Nothing of much note worthy on shots or proper onside chances.

Nice finish against Japan! Well placed, running on to a pulled back cross from the left side. Inside the keepers right hand post.
