I'm pretty confident the fee was £3.5m rising to £5m with add ons. Both figures were quoted extensively, and didn't both come from the same source.
Steve Morison says the quoted fee(s) was 'made up' but it feels more likely to me that Bournemouth leaked £3.5m to Sky and Cardiff came in quickly (via BBC Wales and Wales Online) with the higher number. The usual buy low, sell high two-step.
He still thinks Sheffield united paid a huge loan fee for Madine but has never been able to prove it.
He’s so biased he would defend the club is they set up their own concentration camp.

Perhaps he is correct in respect of Madine
Cardiff are paying him his wages, and we're paying Cardiff a loan fee. So it's nothing to do with the wages our players are on or our own wage structure.
It seems pretty reasonable to me to believe that we're paying Cardiff £3000k to loan Madine for the season, which roughly matches s4's £12k a week figure, with an agreement to pay another £500k if we get promoted - which would mean we had effectively covered his wages for the second half of the season.
