I believe the amounts involved are £600k in the case of the Stephen Caulker signing and £300k in the case of the Peter Odemwingie signing.Neither player was subsequently sold at a loss, so I am unclear where a claim quoted in the media at £10m comes from.
Exactly Keith, I can't believe that we are looking at £10 million worth of "extra costs", in fact, I wouldn't be surprised if the two payments to agents you mention were part of those reported fees of £8.5 million and £2.5 million respectively.
