Honestly, I wasn’t impressed by him in his time here and definitely not for £4.25 million or whatever the buy-option fee was. Walter may have vetoed it. To be honest, he didn’t suit Rosenior’s football and I don’t think he’d suit Walter’s either. He’s an overlapping full-back who plays almost as a left-winger and defensively he’s not very good. Walter seems to want a full-back on either side that is a bit more dynamic with all the crazy rotations he has his back-four doing with centre-backs stepping into midfield and full-backs either playing as centre-halves in some phases or inverting into midfield themselves.

From the article and the last one by Baz on Giles situation, it appears none of them seem to know the difference between an option and obligation to buy.

So what is the situation then ?

I certainly wouldn't be spending £4 Million on Giles considering our overall budget

If it's an obligation, he's our player as everything will have been done in Jan like wages etc. Leeds tried to back out of an obligation to buy for Augustin and hilariously, it cost them a fortune.

I swear Tan did an interview after January and said it was an option, not an obligation. I think he'll go elsewhere, Boro only want him on a loan deal too, I'm just not sure Giles would want to come back

Isnt the obligation on our part only? Giles can turn us down and stay at Luton or sign for Boro if he wanted.
