David's if those big clubs come a calling just remember the words of Zammo Mguire.....
Just say NO!
Real Madrid Can we buy Dimi? No Here is 50m ? No
Dimi Can I play for Real ? No Please can I go ? No I will sulk? No you wont, you are 30 and in a years time they wont want you if you sulk. Why Not? Because you signed a contract and if you became rubbish or got injured you would still accept your wages, so as your are brilliant we want you to play for us.
There are many 1st teamers whose national currency is the euro. If their salaries were negotiated in euros, the Daves will have to cough up a significant %age increase in pounds. Would that unsettle those players whose contracts are in pounds? Of course this is all speculation, but still needs consideration
Dimitri Payet has certainly caught the eye this summer with his performances for France at Euro 2016.
There has even been speculation that Barcelona are interested in luring him away from West Ham.
However, Hammers boss Slaven Bilic told the Daily Mail: "I would love him to stay at West Ham. We have texted each other over the last three weeks and he is happy at the club. He is our player.
"As a club manager, when you have a player involved there is added interest and there is no doubt Dimitri Payet has been one of the stars of the tournament. I understand that with his success, all the speculation about his future will follow.
"I have even seen one report suggesting I don’t want him to do well in case it leads to him leaving West Ham. That is not right. I want him to play great. I want him to score a hat-trick and another hat-trick in the final."

Whenever I've worked abroad the contract fee was ALWAYS in local currency.
When their salaries were negotiated, it's only natural that they would have calculated how much those salaries were worth in euros. Now that the salaries are worth considerably less euros, will they ask for an increase? ;hmm
What if the £ goes back up, will the club then look to re negotiate their contracts down? I don't think that the £ will stay low for a prolonged period so don't really see this as being too much of an issue in the long run.

That's just another risk that us international movers and shakers have to live with ;biggrin
I'm sure that even if the currencies do fluctuate, the poor little mites should still just about have enough in the piggy bank to cover the 'leccy bill
Saw a report that on 5 Live DG said offers wouldn't be considered for Payet below £50m, which made me ;hmm
This is the full interview, which is more positive about our intentions to keep him. Just wish he'd kept it to 'he's not for sale' and not added a 'minimum price'.
There's an article in the Mail from Sully this morning.
Basically says he's not for sale, he's worth at least £100m and that we would keep him even if he kicked up a storm. He also says if he keeps performing, we'll keep upping his wages.
What makes me laugh is that the season ended two months ago and as far as we're all aware there hasn't been a single offer for him. Yet we are constantly being told daily that x, y and z are interested and we've got owners putting out hands off pleas on a weekly basis.

The Mirror is the paper with the original interview.
Yet no official bid. ;hmm
