We are not Spurs. Definitely we cannot be developing any player to sell him back to his old club if he makes the cut
but if the player doesn't turn out well, then we get stuck with him. Doesn't make sense for our club.
At least, that's how I feel.

Agree that the buy back clause is certainly not to our advantage, but it was reported that RM are willing to compromise on this and not to pursue this clause. Then it was up to us to put in our bid of between 20 to 25million whereas RM are demanding around 30million. And before we could even place the bid, Spurs hijacked the deal and agreed with RM's original deal. Like it or not, our recruiting team are definitely behind time or slow to react and will try to low ball first (which is ok if no other teams are bidding). It goes to show our recruiting team is not up to speed with the market situation
