I don't understand the furore about a potential buyback clause for Delap 07:19 - Feb 3 with 3113 views

I don't think this 29.5m quoted is as far fetched a figure as people are making out.

There seems to be a lack of understanding that a buyback clause reduces the amount a club needs to pay in a transfer negotiation.

If the only way to sign Delap for a lower price was to accept a £29.5m buyback - I can see the logic of that seeming a low risk deal for the club. The price without a buyback could have easily been well beyond what we wanted to pay.

Being paid £10-15m effectively to loan Delap for a season isn't a terrible deal on paper, and there are many on here who didn't think Delap was with the money we paid at the time so hindsight is a wonderful thing.

It'll hurt, but I won't blame the club for being cautious. Just hope it happens in the summer not this window.

It was more the arguing with SB to be honest. A good old fashioned back and forth. Appreciate it wasn't full on Frimmers, so apologies

Apology accepted!

Nothing wrong with a proper debate :)
