Following reports in today’s media, West Ham United would like to clarify that at no time have Dimitri Payet or his agent made any demands to the Club over a new contract.
However, the Club can confirm that due to Dimitri’s outstanding impact since his arrival at the Boleyn Ground, they have initiated amicable and productive talks about an improvement and extension to his contract. Those talks are progressing well and it is hoped they can be concluded shortly.
Not sure why we need up the salary to introduce a buy out clause if he is on a five year contract as he will be 33 when he can leave, we would hopefully not sell under even the greatest of pressure for at least two seasons into that contract and then how much would someone pay for a 30 year old.
I would imagine he is on a decent wage already and whilst I would not be against upping that wage if it is low-ish we must learn from Sakho who I also believe got his contract increased after a great start and has not exactly set the world alight since and been injured for half the time.
I love Dimi as the tattoo across my chest will prove, and the fact all my children now have had their names changed by deed poll to Dimi, Dimitri and Dimitrius but come on he is 8 months into a five year deal.

... but your three daughters are less than impressed.
Anyway, I think the whole story is based on Chinese Whispers. I always preferred Pass The Parcel myself. Not to mention jelly and ice cream and fizzy pop.

this story appears in the Mirror, which has been spectacularly wrong about an awful lot to do with our club.
Not a single source quoted.

Dimitri would like to make clear that he is very proud to play for West Ham United and he appreciates the support he has received from the Board, manager and fans since he joined the Club in the summer.

That's not surprising, improve the deal to keep away the vultures in the summer.
Just when we were all enjoying a good panic.

;biggrin
Yeah, and a great wall...
Sorry ;yercoat
;yercoat
But lets assume the story is true.
Reasons for him going
!0% signing on fee 3.8mil
5 year deal 35 mil in wages
He has no loyalty to us he has only been here 5 mins
Our reasons for selling him
It would pay off half our debt in one transaction
I would hate him to got but hey
