That said if i were Holland, Sead or Samuelsen i'd be ready to stake a claim during preseason as there isnt a whole lot of depth on the wings
It's a no from me.
Magician or no, you have to be able to rely on your players playing. All the magic in the world is no use if he's on strike.
Cant imagine hes gonna get more involved the older he gets

Could do with a quote from the man himself though ;wink
Regardless of how good a player he is, he treated the club disgracefully when forcing through his move.
I'd sooner see us be a worse side, with better people playing for us, than let him waltz back in when it suits him.
That's a no, by the way.
He’s the best player we've had since Di Canio and helped give us the best season for about 30 years. I’d love to go back to that season again or something close to it
No season can be expected to go smoothly and easily. What will he do next time when you need to leave your ego in the dressing room and dig in on the pitch?
Can't be relied on.
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.
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
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
Anyway Ex says an announcement is imminent.
IMO life is way 2 short.
If he fancies he owes us who am I 2 argue.....
;biggrin
They want more than they paid us for him.
Does that mean they have his replacement already lined up?
Fans on other forems are split re Payet.
Some say if he apologised, they would welcome him with open arms.
I wouldn't take him back on a silver platter!
He threw his toys out of the pram till he got his move, like a petulant child.
Then slagged off the manager who made him what he was!
No loyalty, but accepted a loyalty bonus of £1m.
No class!
