Signed a five and a half year deal in January 2013, I.e until the end of the 2018 season.
Fairly sure they would have atleast doubled his wages and then we wouldn't have taken him back on the same amount?
As often happens (on football manager which is basically real life), clubs will agree to pay the surplus until the end of a players contract if they're taking a lower wage (think adebayour getting paid by about 3 clubs at the same time).
It just got me thinking today what with the talk of higher wages at Palace, would he then have a bumper contract with us topped up by 20/30k with United?!
Either way, he's class, pay him.

Decent question that, even if the answer was no!

Zaha was on £30k plus at united and when we signed him probably offered him similar, if not slightly more to sign for us.

If he wasn't offered as much it is unlikely he would sign.

Players like Adebayor were paid by former club's because the buying club could not affording such a high salary - so to get him out the selling club agreed to make up the shortfall (Man city to Spurs move).

Spurs effectively released him so the player, as is his right, insisted he still be paid as per his contract until it expired.

Players rarely take less money - the main occasion is when they are out of contract as suddenly a 50k a week contract is zero so they may take a 20k a week contract. The other is if the new club offers less, but a longer contract - i think that's what we negotiated with Dann when he first signed.
