This makes zero sense. Ship Baker out on loan, sign a veteran defender, and then get another team's young centerback? We have Okore, Clark, Senderos, Richards, Lescott, and even Crespo now. Why would we need 7 center backs? Oh and I forgot Sanchez can play there too.
I can't remember if I read this, heard or even dreamed this.
Apparently when Baker signed a contract extention recently, he had it written in his contract if Villa sign another CB and any team comes in to loan him (Baker) Villa have to let him go out on loan.
I just can't remember where I've got that from, but it's been stuck in my head a while now.
