I was referring to this:

Lets face it he's nothing more than a stop gap until Jack is healthy and Aaron return from the Olympics in August.
At the end of the day it's just a rumour until it has been confirmed by either party, and even then the finer details are unlikely to be revealed. We don't know whether there will be an option to make the deal permanent or not (the sources Captain referred to seemed to think that this was the issue holding up the deal rather than the salary though), how much he'd make or how he'd feel about leaving Real permanently if he's having a successful season in London.
