    but if he has the option it's a no brainer
    Live in Madrid or Essex
    Play for Madrid or West Ham

    Oi! Whats wrong with Essex?
  • Expat_HammerExpat_Hammer
    That's right mate, why play for Madrid when you can play for a big team ;biggrin
  • baracks_a_hammerbaracks_a_hammer
    Yes Pards, I knew you'd touch a nerve by referring to the "living in Essex" bit

    Lolololololol

    Agreed Lukerz ;ok

    If Madrid want him he'll want Madrid and we'll be on the back foot to keep him.

    IMO.

    Jorderz + Lukerz ;ok

    C&H cover themselves in glory following reports that Dimi was in contact with Madrid - “Why would the agent – who is French – be in London?

    That would be Mark McKay mais non? ;lol

    Not all the players live in Essex though? Think London and Madrid is a little less clear cut, even if Madrid has better weather.

    Canary Wharf ;ok

    €250,000 a week and Champions League football week after week every year of his contract, and the chance to add half a dozen trophies to his CV, may well let him put the downer of moving to Madrid from England behind him.
  • OutcastLondonerOutcastLondoner
    Except he won't play most of those weeks.

    But yeah, football reasons are a good explanation for him leaving. I don't think he's going to be swung by Mardid or Essex.

    I think it's pretty obvious if it's a straight choice between avoiding stabbings in Basildon and laying in the sun drinking sangria in Madrid he'll still visit Madrid on holiday sometimes.

    Real are a horrid club.

    If Dimi does go I don't want him going there.

    But Dimi is a hammer.

    It will be a test for the Daves if he asks for a move but one they can win. Ultimately the situation would come down to he can play for no one else but us unless we agree to sell, he is also not of an age where he can sulk as by the end of his contract he would have retired or be very near. The worst deal they should come to in this situation is an agreement to one more season and should he still wish to leave then a buy out clause of 50m. Hopefully by the end of this season we have made further progress and Real Madrid have moved on. Failing this we got an extra season and a good price.

    There is no reason for the Dave's to negotiate from a position of weakness as otherwise that new contract negotiation last season was the most wasted exercise ever, it simply said pay me more if I stay but if I want to go I will, and they must be smarter than that surely!

    I've avoided this conversation so far... However, my personal opinion is that he will be playing for us next season.

    But, as devils advocate (with a negative train of thought).... Dimi will star in Euro2016 right til the end

    Be subject to massive bids
    Be eventually irritated we didn't let him join Madrid
    Be 'lethargic' in training and on match days
    Be burned out by the season/lack of rest and the Euros
    Be like a 2nd season Hazard
    Be 30
    Be found out
    Be worth next to nothing
    Be our player for another 4 years on massive wages
    Be wondering why we didnt take the 50M for him when we accept a 4M bid in 2 years time from Toulouse

    Is that what you want? Cos that's what'll happen ;nonono ;wahoo ;wink
  • SuzanneClaretSuzanneClaret
    Non non non non

    No cashing in on Dimi

    Non.

    Capeesh.
  • LukerzLukerz
    Would be annoying if we rejected massive bids and he ends up being a one season wonder.
  • SuzanneClaretSuzanneClaret
    A tiny weeny little risk well worth taking.

  • baracks_a_hammerbaracks_a_hammer
    Well let's hope Dimi isn't on this forum as there are a few folk more or less endorsing a decision for him to go there as if it's the obvious thing to do.

    Personally i'm prepared to back the Dave's to follow through on what they've hitherto said on the matter.

    He sulked/went on strike before, didn't he? At Lille?

    I hope he doesn't go. I ;carew him.


    (In case he's reading ;wink )
  • BazshuayiBazshuayi
    We all love him, hence the amount of comments. Nobody wants him to go and I don't think he will, better? ;biggrin

    Would be more annoying if we sold him and he carried on playing at this level for the next 3 or 4 years.

    Like Zlatan, Pirlo and Lampard, for example, he will continue to deliver well into his 30s. He has played in 30 or more league games every year since 2006/7 so in spite of the efforts of the likes of McCarthy, he clearly looks after himself very well

    ExWHUemployee seems to be suggesting Madrid have indeed bid for Payet this evening.

    £60m
  • PrestonHammerPrestonHammer
    I just don't see Madrid paying 60 million for him.

    If true, this is one big decision to make for both the club and the player. I am pretty sure that would be the highest transfer fee ever paid for a 29 year old.

    This is in addition to the 120 Million Euros deal they are putting together to sign Pogba!

    I don't believe this.

    He is taking out of his hat.

    And Morata by all accounts.
