From today's BBC Gossip

Stoke have agreed to pay a £575,000 'transfer fee' for their loan of Shola Ameobi, making the striker the most expensive loanee in English club history. The final figure could be near £1m if Stoke claim promotion via the play-offs. (Mail on Sunday)

Fuck a duck, over half a million for an 8-week loan and it's not like they're getting Drogba or Ronaldo either!
