AVFCforever1991 Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 why was Sylla missing? I think Sylla has chosen to represent an African country...Off the top of my head i think it was Mali but chances are i'm wrong :-/ Yeah it's Mali.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSV Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 ahhh right you are Sir, Sylla's official, full international début for Mali came on 9 June 2012 in a 1–1 FIFA World Cup qualification draw with Rwanda. Sylla replaced Wolverhampton Wanderers player Tongo Doumbia in the 70th minute.[10] Sylla started and played the full 90 minutes in Mali's 2–2 draw with Benin seven days later, but Mali were unfortunately eliminated from the competition.[11] 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 WRONG, Okore, Weimann etc all played. Only Benteke missing. Helenius nets on debut as Villa kick off pre-season tour without wantaway Benteke By GRAEME YORKE PUBLISHED: 21:23 GMT, 10 July 2013 | UPDATED: 21:25 GMT, 10 July 2013 Nicklas Helenius scored on his debut for Aston Villa as they played out a 1-1 draw in their pre-season friendly with SV Rodinghausen. Villa opened the scoring through Helenius' near post header from Matt Lowton's cross on the hour mark following a quiet start to the game in the first half. Soren Siek then levelled for the home side as Paul Lambert gave new signings Aleksandar Tonev, Jores Okore, Leandro Bacuna, Antonio Luna, Jed Steer and Helenuis some match time. Instructions: Villa manager Paul Lambert saw his team get a draw in their first pre-season friendly New man: Aleksandar Tonev had his first run-out in claret and blue as his side drew 1-1 with Rodinghausen In action: Joe Bennett closes down Rodinghausen's Marius Krause as Villa kicked off their tour New faces: Summer signings Leandro Bacuna (left) and Jores Okore made their first appearances for Villa ASTON VILLA LINE-UP First half: Guzan, Vlaar, Baker, Bacuna, Albrighton, Delph, Sylla, Bowery, Tonev, Bennett, Herd Second half: Steer, Lowton, Okore [Carruthers], Clark, El Ahmadi, Helenius, Agbonlahor, Luna, Westwood, Weimann, Gardner. The match was the first in a three-match tour of Germany which will also see Villa take on SC Paderborn and VFL Bochum. Wantaway striker Christian Benteke did not travel with the team, with manager Paul Lambert granting him an extra week of leave following his transfer request. The Belgian hitman, who netted 19 goals in the Premier League last season, demanded a move from the Midlands club last weekend, putting Tottenham, Chelsea and Liverpool on alert.

LondonLax Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Who's 'WRONG' JV? I think he was replying to the posts at the top of the page saying that Wiemann and Okore are not in training yet, not realising that those posts are from a few weeks back 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he was replying to the posts at the top of the page saying that Wiemann and Okore are not in training yet, not realising that those posts are from a few weeks back With regards to Weimann you are absolutely right mate, my bad. However the Okore ones were from today. Got a bit worried myself and had to go look it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samjp26 Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Have a feeling that Okore is going to be a massive success. Any word on his knock earlier? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daz316 Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Little bit of concern that it may be something quite serious, no mention of it in match report or by lambert. Very worrying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samjp26 Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Little bit of concern that it may be something quite serious, no mention of it in match report or by lambert. Very worrying I thought the opposite, just read the match report and assumed it must be nothing hence no mention. Still strange that it hasn't been announced to us? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
