I have a similar feeling about this transfer than Twosips does.We can't lose with this transfer at all.
It definitely sends out a good message to other academy players who go out on loan or are sold by us that if you work hard and impress at another club, then there is always a chance the club can bring you back and give you a second chance. I think in modern football, it is so, so difficult to play younger players at a very early age, the pressures in football are just enormous now. If you have a bad month of results, most managers will be sacked. There is so much at stake now, so there is limited opportunities for younger players to be given a chance. Especially with a club like us, where we have world class players in nearly every position, the chances of getting a shot straight from the academy are very, very slim so the best option for us is to sell these players with buy back clauses.
Angelino always had the talent going forward, i am sure the last few years he has become more streetwise and is more solid now defensively. He has a lot of attributes to his game which could benefit our team and style of play. Very energetic, very quick, great crosser of a ball, very skilful and tenacious.
I just wish we had a buy back clause on Jadon Sancho as well, that would have been perfect.
