I was baffled why we never put a buyback in the Robinson deal to start with
Buyback probably be more expensive. A quality Championship fullback with lots of games under his belt and wanted by Milan, available for £1.5 - £2mill is an absolute steal. We need backup and the new lad is younger and inexperienced. To fill a need in the team thar cheap is a no brainer.
Lets face it, if he doesnt make the grade or we want to sell in 1-2 years, he will be worth at least double what we pay so makes good business sense too.
