    I'd say he wasnt better than Arnie (who I liked before he came to us and even when he was struggling a bit), just different.

    At the end of the day, if he came back I'd be staggered (most, if not all reasons people have already stated)

    I've never had any issue with Frank Lampard. A temporary annoyance at Defoe which passed a long time ago.

    With Payet though, I loved this guy (as most of us did)!!

    But, and I know it sounds wussy, he hurt me. It was a joy to have such a creative player in our side and the team had me feeling for the first time in forever that we shouldnt fear any team! His behavior the season after felt like emotional betrayal.

    If he comes back I repeat that I'll be staggered. But, in the unlikely event, he'll have to say and do some impressive things to get me back on side.

    I would love to see Payet, Wiltshire and Arnie passing it triangles. Will be a joy to watch. In Payets second season he was isolated out on the touch line. We played awful football, and at his age I don’t blame him for taking the opportunity to enjoy his game again.

    No news yet re Jack Wilshere, but in looking for stories, I found a report that claims he was on £90k/week last season. https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/jack-wilshere-edging-closer-to-west-ham-transfer-a3880101.html

    Much has been made in earlier discussions and 'ITK news' (around the web, not necessarily on here) that he would have to take a drop in salary - but from a much much higher figure than that 90k. ;hmm

    Isn't he injured at the moment ? that's why he did n't go to the world cup

    He hobbled off in the first half of the Europa League final with a thigh problem.

    No to Payet, we've been here before with Cottee, MacAvennie, Dicks and Dowie. They're never as good as they were the first time (or just as bad in Dowie's case). The only exception has been Ginger.

    And Pop Robson

    I think it was his salary demands not his salart. I’m guessing as he’s on a free he thinks he should get 50 percent more? Who knows.

    Anyway Ex says an announcement is imminent.

    Evening Standard says it will be announced today ;ok

    I had a nice salart with lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber and olives.

    It will be excellent if we get Wiltshire but as for Payett, well that’s a big fat NO from me.

    Bless you...
  • KuchinghammerKuchinghammer
    So now Payet is unhappy in Marseilles? How is his family? Are they going to settle in England, or pull him back to France again? Is his injury going to impact on future performances? Will Nobes still want to hug him? Will he sulk again if the footy is 'boring'?
    All these questions need answering before you return, Dimitri. We're mostly still
    ;angry with you, naughty boy.

    Seems like things are kicking off

    Not sure how i feel about getting a new CB after Diop joined

    Wilshere i like, but still given his injury record i would have liked to go for Fernandes, a riskier move but one i wouldve liked more

    Yarmolenko is a player im familiar with through football manager. He impressed me when i did see him, but obivously played his entire career in a weak league....and his spell at Dortmund was largely forgettable....but at 17.5mil it seems a much more realsitic target for us then 45mil for Anderson

    If these 3 do come off that means weve already spent over £50mil already
  • AdamAdam
    If the fee of £17.5m is correct, I would like to know why Dortmund are selling him a year after they bought him for £22.5m?!

    Are they selling us a dud?
