It's one thing to loan him (which I think is exactly the right thing to do as long as we get another forward in) but the option to buy seems very odd to me... Why give anyone an option? If he does well, they'll get him for far less than they would in the open market and if he does badly, they...
Very surprised about that... Think he could end up being very good and, given how we've not exactly found it easy to recruit centre forwards, I would have thought it would have been better to keep him as an option for the future.
