1) Was a set (transfer) fee agreed at the time of Robert's loan to Ipswich?
2) Was this put down in writing and signed off by all parties?
3) Were there any caveats pertaining to possible injury, performance failure or interest by third party clubs?
If, of course, everything was done verbally then I am quite sure that the club would be well within their rights to ask for a figure above the 200K mentioned.
