Sorry if already posted.............WBA Chairman

West Brom have been subsidising Steele's wages by paying 60% up until now. </p>

&quot;To be fair, I think Barnsley would be happy to pay his wages and if there is an impasse it's over what happens to Luke either on a temporary or a permanent basis,&quot; West Brom chairman Jeremy Peace told BBC Radio 5 Live. </p>

&quot;We're saying we'd like him to go there on a permanent basis, Barnsley would like to take him on loan for the rest of the season, and I think that's where the difference is.&quot; </p>

Peace added: &quot;We've let him go there on loan at a subsidised rate, we've put our hands in our pockets and we've helped Luke in his first four weeks there. </p>

&quot;We're now saying because Barnsley's financial situation has improved enormously since Luke went there - and Luke has been a major factor in that, I'd say - we just want Barnsley to do their bit. </p>

&quot;I've had discussions with their chairman and he's a very decent man. Hopefully we can resolve this situation.&quot; </p>
