Aliadiere's career has struggled to get off the ground due to injuries, and a proposed loan deal to West Ham last year was cancelled due to this problem. It must be a difficult time for the young man.
If his injury does require surgery, could it be that the West Ham management will cancel the loan term? If so given his current problem with the management team at Porto, could this be an opportunity to loan Benni McCarthy?
We will have to wait and see.
