Stoke City striker James Beattie priced himself out of a move to Fulham last week.
The Sunday Mirror says Beattie's staggering wage demands wrecked a £2million move to Fulham and left him stuck at Stoke.
Beattie stunned Fulham by asking for £60,000-a-week and Cottagers' boss Roy Hodgson pulled the plug on transfer deadline day.
Now the 31-year-old faces an uncomfortable three months after falling out with boss Tony Pulis.
