And it might be a ?8 mill fee

But With a player like Grabban (decent prospect with potential to improve) there may well been a sell-on clause, eg 20% of the profit so it might be that ?1 mill of the ?5 mill gain goes back to the original selling club, Bournemouth.

There also may have been bonus payment for promotion and the fee is often payable in instalments go lord knows how much we really gained (or lost) over the deal.
