I don't think Dimi will be engineering a method to leave and going into a strop - it is all down the the Dave's
They should consider taking the dosh at their peril - we will almost certainly regress if they do.
Liverpool cashed in on Suarez (who admittedly wanted to go), however where are they now?
Nothing has happened to suggest he wants to leave though. So as it stands it is that simple
Payet could privately suggest he wants to move to Real and allow for this to be blown into full-scale striking by agents/owners, and it allows for them to sell and Payet to leave and the owners coming out of it quite well.
We've got Payet
We're keeping Payet
You're not getting Payet
Pass it on
Think the club's stance is stronger; they are refusing to put any price on him.
If we're not selling him then numbers are irrelevant.
Didn't Berahino want to leave WBA?
It isn't all in the hands of the players, and the fact we have him on such a long contract puts us in the box seat in terms of decision making.
I think we have some canny people running the club...
But if the club refuse to set a fee, no club can match it.
Nothing to see here, move along to your next target.
I think you're over-simplifying. Yes, there are examples of players who have stayed despite wanting away, but there are many other factors to it.
Once agents have spent a month establishing a rhetoric of 'Payet desperately wants to leave' in the tabloids, the issue becomes more complex.
Yes, the club don't have to sell. But the club do have to weigh one thing against another to gauge what's in their best interest.
If Payet isn't going to be himself and is generating negativity in the dressing-room, they will have to weigh keeping a potentially underperforming or unhappy Payet against bringing in vast amounts of money for a player approaching 30, the kind of money which could be spread across every position.
So yes, the club doesn't ever have to sell, nor ever name a price. But it doesn't mean they won't sell if we reach a point where they believe they'd rather have huge swathes of money instead of a sulking 29 year old.
(FYI, I don't think Payet is likely to sulk at all. But that's not to say agents and press won't whip up a rhetoric to say he is, which he might happily go along with because he knows deep down this would be his last chance to play for Madrid or PSG.
And, as I mentioned, it's a situation which I don't think the owners would be totally against, as if they can lay all the blame on Payet, fans tend to be very understanding and they make a huge profit on him).
Each to their onions.
I think you are over-thinking it.
Club isn't going to sell Payet.
End of.

I can only envy Charles Perrin getting paid for this kind of rubbish.
How is West Ham being 'worried' a boost for Chlesea? Except, he hasn't, as the club have pointedly refused to set a price. What does the conjunction 'but' link to there? Nothing. Er, so which is it? You'll like this bit... So, Wenger actually said he had thought about signing Payet, and decided not to.
There's a bloke getting paid cash money to read the work of other (?proper) journalists, and then getting his mish-mash of a story wrong in just about every respect.
There is clearly no effort at editorial supervision, so next time you read an online story, even from a national newspaper, remember to keep plenty of salt to hand.
Which suggests Payet is not looking to force a move, and that the ball is completely in WHU's court when it comes to his future.
