For all of them, including Aquilani and Traore, we had an "option to buy". For none it was a mandatory buy. But imo it was pretty clear that for Quag, Matri, Motta and Pepe we took an obligation to buy, even if it wasn't put on paper. More like a gentlemen deal that we couldn't afford to break. It could be the case with Borriello too.
Or it could not, of course. It's more likely, considering he is a notable player from a fellow Italian team. Aquilani, Rinaudo, Traoré and the kids were not.

We're now seeing it as a choice to buy Borriello because of the words "option to buy" and people here seem convinced that it's an option to buy. It might very well be the case. But cases from the near past should warn us that we could be wrong and Borriello might not be an "option to buy" but an "obligation to buy".
