GarethRDR Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 From Simon Jones at Mail Online... Villa look to strengthen defence with Porto's Senegalese giant Ba Aston Villa are weighing up a loan move for Porto centre back Abdoulaye Ba. The 21-year-old has been a target for West Ham manager Sam Allardyce but ran into problems securing a work permit for the 6ft 6in Senegalese. "That's a huge bitch!"

Richard Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 We need defensive and midfield reinforcements so no problems with this for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonLax Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Why would we be able to get a work permit for him if West Ham can't? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted October 31, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted October 31, 2012 He might have played more times for his country by the time we go in for him (January I assume) which counts for a lot in work permits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
