I don’t see a massive benefit. You take a risk on paying £20m for a youngster who has never played above league one. It’s quite likely you don’t get value.
Well I must say I am really shocked he hasn't signed for us...
Totally agree - there's very little to gain for us this season in signing a young player with no experience who will have a buy back inserted limiting profit in the event of the gamble being a roaring success.
Yeah. Plenty of big kids/self proposed experts throwing their dummy out the pram in the player shop window when they’re told they can’t have what they want, even when they don’t know anything about the player, or didn’t a couple of weeks ago.
These buy-back deals are another Chelsea / City level con along with 8 year deals and signing the Under 5’s.
They are a con but the amount they have invested in youth development, if we had done that we would be mental to not put it in
It’s been going on in Spain at Real and Barca for a very long time. We are now seeing it more in England as these clubs have been farming youth players with very little intention of them ever playing for the club
Say what you want about Paddy but he did his best to keep us up last year.

It's all part of the craving for instant self-gratification RB. Because they can acquire stuff easily with a few clicks on their phone the same should apply with their football team.
Don't think Moyes wanted him - there's apparently a bit of argy bargy going on regarding their transfer strategy between Moyes and the recruitment team.Awkward for West Ham
Forest are magic on and off the pitch!
Yep, can't blame him to snubbing West Ham for Ajax either. Great city, huge club, will win silverware, European competition and a club with a superb reputation for developing players. As a promising young player, it ticks all the boxes really.
Talksport must be frantically trying to find an angle on this one.
Dare say City have a reasonable buy back clause added too.
