Barnfred 55
Player Valuation: £80m
May be wrong but I thought there was usually a window within the transfer window during which they could exercise the buy back clause to stop this sort of thing happening.Buy backs aren't great at all. With a loan, you know what you're getting. With a buy back clause the club holding that right can literally just decide at any moment to come and take him back. No prior warning, no negotiating, 10 minutes before deadline if they so wish, assuming the player in question will agree of course.
