Why all this moaning about loan deals? It's all we can get and Parkinson has done exactly what any in coming manager will do, more some in, move some out, shack up the squad. As mentioned above it is a dead cert that at least 2, probably more, of the loads will be gone by the end of Jan 1st, if not sooner (doesn't primus' loan end after the derby game?).

Pretty sure it was about Varney at the time.
Totally sure you are wrong.
No way in the world Mr. Varney was on 20K per week in the Champs, we were SELLING those players off, not bringing more of the bastards in.
About the time Iwelumo signed, I seemed to remember seeing somewhere that he was a Bosman free transfer, given an unknown signing-on fee, and his wages were around £11,000 a week.
Okay nothing to do with loans - but I reckon this was probably the going rate at the time for the new signings - and Varney most likely would have been around that level, Weaver, Toddy too, McLeod a bit less again.
The Prem survivors, Reid, Ambrose, Thomas would no doubt have been on salaries a bit higher with or without a relegation clause - but they've all gone now.
So with Ambrose and Varney more or less gone, that's 2 more of the highest earners off the books.
Let's face it, it's not only the supporters have given up on promotion - no doubt so will have the directors, so the fire sale continues. ZZ next.
Big Chris was a senior pro so wouldn't necessarily equate that Varney got same, might also explain his sale (highest earning striker at the club or on a par with Gray for example)
i Don't think we are paying any of waghorns wages - at least i hope not, we are doing them a massive favour by giving him some first team football. Wouldn't be suprised if we were not paying all of gillespes wages - he was never going to gt a game at shef u and was probably bringing the morale down. Primus and Cranies wages are most likely prem wages so we most likely can't afford to pay the whole of them, likewise with boazza. Most likely paying all of Burtons, but he was at shef wed and can't imagine he was on a massive wage.
I heard that Varney was on £14k, based on an argument he had with Pardew whereby Pardew threatened to drop him and he responded by saying "What do I care I'm earning £14,000 a week". probably total gob sxxte, but its a good stir for the gossip mill. Don't forget when we bought him he was suppossed to be our goal machine to get us to the prem.

"Which 2 players ?".
To put you out of your agony...
We can only have 5 loanees in our 16 for a match so as we have 7 loans (and counting) two of them will be picking up their wages spending saturday elsewhere.

Bouazza is having wages paid by Fulham by all accounts, and I wouldn't be surprised if Pompey are subbing us for there two.
I can't imagine Burton or McVerley are on big wages either.
Totally sure you are wrong.
you reckon?
No it's not. Each deal is different.
Some times you get a fee and wages, or just wages or part of wages or no wages.
So are we still paying some of Faye's wages then? I don't think we got a fee for him.
"yes"

Probably well under 10K per week, well under.
