Henry on SKY just said that he thought that Payet's free kick against Palace verged on the illegal!

My mates wife bumped into Payet in Sainsbury's yesterday when out with his little boy. She asked him if she could take a photo to show my mate and Payet not only happy posed he picked up his little boy so he could be in the photo aswell. Nice to see him doing his own shopping and happy to pose for a photo ;clap

McHammer

Midfielder Dmitri Payet was so confident of winning West Ham's end-of-season awards that he took an empty suitcase to training. (Mirror)

Dimi can win a game of Connect Four in only three moves.

Dimitri Payet is what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object

OldCastleSwift

Please don't cash in Dave ;pray

claretandbluesky

Please don't even speak of Dimi leaving, If the Dave's are West Ham fans they could not even contemplate it for any money.

If they sell every bit of belief will fall out of every supporter and the rest of the team.

We have never had a player with that amount of ability with a football, we have had fantastic players, influential players, players that made us better on their own, but no one comes close to what he can do with a football and that anticipation he provides you as a fan.

I am aware he could try and force a move but I am hoping he is not the type and would at least say I will give you next season, and if my ambitions do not look like being realised here then let me go.

Also having him and his exposure at this tournament will help our recruitment enormously !

edgar_friendly

I agree entirely claret, even for £40 mill he is irreplaceable, to let him go now would be to let go of one of the best players in the world (on form at least).

WHU_Champo_league_in_7_years

If Deeney is worth £20mil then Payet is worth at the very least £60mil he's truely among the elite players in the world

It's not just the goal, it's the whole performance. This french team are joint favourites with Germany to win this and everyone is gushing over how strong their team is

World record bids for Griezmann and Pogba are always being mentioned and both are seen as top 10 players in the world, add the hugely impressive Kante, Matuidi and the wonder kids Martial and Coman......but it was our man Payet who made them tick, he controlled that game and was the best player on the pitch be for the goal

He's just beyond quality, so proud to have hin at our team we'd be fools to cash in he's simply irreplaceable and he's the star we can build around and use his name to convince elite strikers to join us as any striker who plays with payet will be a happy striker

Lukerz

If Payet shines at this tournament, he will be off. This is not negative or a slant on him. But he will attract big bids from massive clubs. I don't think a player has ever excelled at a major international tournament and not got a big money move that summer.

I think we could easily get £50m for him.

Hamstew

Payet is going to leave ;weep

Lukerz

If he does leave it is a real shame the owners refused to invest last Jan and really push us to the top four in what could be our last chance. That is where the DDs come up short. Would helped a bundle trying to keep hold of him if we had Champions League football. Instead we got Emenike. If you have star players you have to match their ambition.

KingHammerAbroad

I would hope he would honor his newly signed contract and not push for a move. However if someone comes in with a crazy bid of say £50-60m then I can see the DD's cashing in.

I really hope he stays as he is the best player (skills wise) that I can remember playing for us, but, right now he is one of the best players in Europe, never mind the PL IMO.

Slaven_Cups_His_Beard

I don't think he will go anywhere just yet.

The Daves had been reported they valued him at 50-60m we'll last nights performance on the opening game stage with that goal possibly added a few more million

60+ for a 29 year old who all of a sudden found his feet big time in the last 12 months? That would suggest the game has gone to a new level of crazy. MUFC paid 24m for a 29 year old RVP and that was considered top whack for a geezer that had been doing it consistently for a period of time. The only thing with Payet is he won't get much slower over the next 3-4 years because his game isn't built on pace, that is a possible factor but there would be next to nothing in terms of sell on for any of the big boys and they don't normally operate that way.

I also think the lad genuinely likes it at our club, he's gone from a decent player to known all round the world very quickly and that emotion came through when subbed last night.

For me he will be with us at the start of next season and will want to see how far we can go first and if he can be part of something major in the PL, it depends if we continue to progress as to whether he stays.
