Angel delighted at O'Leary reprieve

Aston Villa’s record signing Juan Pablo Angel has spelt out his determination to put “two wasted years” behind him and is backing David O’Leary to help him fulfil that ambition.

Angel has seldom produced the goods on a consistent basis for Villa since his £9.5m (€13.8m) move from River Plate, although he did manage 16 goals in 2001-2002.
