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.
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
well we are hoping ? Fredericks and Diop both seem like scouting options with decent appearance records for their previous clubs and are young enough to keep improving. Whether they make the grade or not we don't know as French football and Championship to Premiership football is a different kettle of fish. But it at least makes sense !
I say "no" to the rumored Payet return. He behaved disgracefully when he left and damaged team morale. We can't risk the same again.
While that may be true, none of us were in behind the scenes. Now if he did sign again that would mean the Daves (who were involved in Payet the first time around) gave their ok and think that it is a good idea. No way do I believe they would intentionally cause havoc in the dressing room and the club by signing a disrupting influence.

Does this come as any surprise?
Ex said that this morning!

Are they selling us a dud?
Such a bad idea and again a trivial signing.
This window has been bang average. Only Diop and Fredericks seem like stern buys so far.
We've made 3 signings that improve us on last year.
If we were to sign Wilshere, that would be another one.
If he 'only' makes 28 starts for us next year, like he did last year, we've still got a hell of a player for a free.
I don't think the issue would be in the dressing room; I suspect a lot of the players would welcome him back.
I don't think there would be a problem on the pitch; he's still a quality player.
My issue with him is that, imo, he showed utter disrespect for the club in the way he behaved, and I don't think that merits a second chance.
What's to stop him throwing his toys out of the pram again if he is upset?
