Well I reckon SSN are pretty wide of the mark mate. Would be amazed if we are in for more than 30% of Barrys wages.
I hope you're right pal. £2m for Barry is a better deal than £6m for Barry. FACHT.

Don't think anything has been confirmed yet pal. All we have to go on is SSN saying that WBA had agreed a £3m loan fee for Lukaku and that we came in with a higher bid to snatch him away. They mentioned £5m, but it was not confirmed.
Barry was widely reported in the papers last week as being on £125k a week, and City had been stubbornly refusing to subsidise a loan move to us. Maybe they caved in on deadline day, because they so desperately needed to reduce their wage bill.... or maybe we caved in and agreed to pay his £6m salary for the year.
In conclusion, no-one knows. But there is a fear the loan outlay could be more than £11m. This is Bill we're talking about, on deadline day....
I'll be amazed if there's anything left for January. We really should be looking at loaning out Duffy or Stones, or selling Heitinga, Naismith or Gueye, or some combination of these, in order to release some cash.
£5M to loan a player for a season? He best score plenty!

The answer has been provided. Our wages havent gone up too much considering they went down around 250k per week when Moyes, Neville (both been gone months btw) Hitz, Fellaini and Anichebe are taken into account.
That wasn't the question sir. The question was "How much will Lukaku, Barry and Deulofeu cost us for the year." The loa fees and salaries for the players signed yesterday are still unknown to the masses and are therefore of interest/concern.
If it was £5 million for Lukaku, so what.
If he is worth 20 million, and is on a 4 year deal, thats a £5 mil a year cost.
End of this loan deal, he will have 18 months left on his Chelsea deal
WE'RE NOT PAYING ANY MORE THAN HALF OF BARRY'S WAGES
STOP IT
Everton intend to offer Baines a new contract now the window has closed and, despite making a profit this summer, £2m of the Fellaini fee is owed to his former club Standard Liège while the loan deals for Lukaku and Barry will cost close to £10m. Kenwright, meanwhile, finds himself in the rare position of receiving credit where credit is due.

The Guardian implies that we are. Final paragraph:
It doesn't matter, we're not paying his full wages, common sense alone makes that obvious. We're a club who has never paid a wage higher than 75k, but now we're apparently paying a 32 year old loan signing 120k ?
Mate. Whether it's a £5m "loan fee" with City covering his wages, or us paying £5m of his wages City not charging us a "loan fee", we still end up paying £5m for his services for ten months. Sell it to yourself however you like.
Or maybe it's £9m fee and wages for Lukaku, and Barry is a zero-cost loan. FFS.
