    Adam,

    i don't think it's rumours as Bilic has come out and stated it.
  • OldCastleSwiftOldCastleSwift
    This is just plain daft now. How can we possibly not sell him? We know we need strengthening and we are now sat on a £30m+ asset that doesn't want to play for us.

    Sell him.

    Sell him now and offer Spurs £10m for Trippier. Offer Sunderland £15m for Defoe. I can see no logical reason to keep him; the only reasons are pride and stubbornness on the part of the board.

    I'm not surprised he wants out. Just a bit surprised it's come out the way it has.

    He's not just about the money, he wants to win things.

    If he wants to win things he shouldn't have signed in the first place. A bit of research into the club would have told him that. He signed up to a five year project and is unhappy he hasn't won anything in year one? Nah, not for me.
  • brookingsironsbrookingsirons
    I bet dave doesn't except 5m for this 29 year old ;lol
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    But he's our best player ;wink
  • brookingsironsbrookingsirons
    yes look how much he won before he signed here ...

    I bet he doesn't take a pay drop in order to win things ;biggrin

    As reported in the Grauniad

    Frenchman has refused to train and play this weekend
    At his pre-match press conference on Thursday, Bilic also said Payet is refusing to play for the club against Crystal Palace this weekend.

    Wonder how long before that Payet 27 shirt comes down at the LS?

    Saturday, if I can get up to it.

    Exactly right Sweepy. We had a golden opportunity to push on in the summer, and blew it.

    Why are the owners being blamed for dimi wanting out?



  • Jorderz_Moyes_will_be_MoyesJorderz_Moyes_will_be_Moyes
    Because certain posters will use literally anything and everything to beat the club with at any opportunity ;ok
  • OldCastleSwiftOldCastleSwift
    Our summer transfer business was, in hindsight, poor. I think we all accept that.

    But as far as I can see, no other West Ham player is refusing to play or train.

    To blame this on the board is, in my opinion, just plain wrong
  • Pearces_Left_FootPearces_Left_Foot
    I think he would have left even if we were doing well, he thinks he is better than us and wants out. If he had any decency he would have given his all to the summer and than put in a transfer request then but no he refuses to play . This is him showing his true colours imho.
  • SuzanneClaretSuzanneClaret
    I can not remember the last time I was this angry with a player...
  • AdamAdam
    Ah. Very well then. I had only seen the headline ;weep ;weep ;weep
  • Pearces_Left_FootPearces_Left_Foot
    I fee sorry for his teammates they are probably be glad to see the back of him if this is his attitude. Maybe it can improve morale by removing a problem lets hope so. We were here before him and will be here after him we are West Ham so do one Payet

    125k reportedly a week I think refusing to train and play is very childish sort of spit your dummy out attitude to life

    sell sell sell , we are west ham its not about 1 player we are a club a team a fantastic
    football club get rid of him Mr Sullivan please .

    Dreading to hear the chant from other teams' fans:

    "You’ve not got Payet, Dimitri Payet!
    Now we think you understand.
    He was Super Slavs man, but not better than Zidane.
    You’ve not got Dimitri Payet!”

    ;weep

    You can't blame the board. If he's told Bilic he wants out, that's his call.

    All I'm saying, as a big fish in a smaller pond, with no loyalty or ties to he club or area, what incentive is there for him to stay when the club has gone from two wins away from the Champions League to 13th and out of three cups?
  • brookingsironsbrookingsirons
    If I was a betting man I would say he leaves on the final day of the window ;ok
  • brookingsironsbrookingsirons
    he's been tapped up imo ...

    Yes the research would have shown this BUT

    The owners were spouting a change at West Ham. European football, Champions league within x years. They were telling all the sponsors, hospitality and fans the same thing.

    We are all devastated.

    Look I blame Sully, but I don't for one second think he did it on purpose. I think he made some terrible decisions here.

    Bought too many poor players that upset the dynamic and morale and demonstrated to be existing players (not on purpose) that we aren't moving forward.

    The above was said by many people after the Astra game. Too many new faces. No big players. Very demoralising. I don't blame Payet.

    This also hasn't just happened. Sub against Citeh, subbed v Man U. I'm sure he's told Slav he's wanted to leave for a little while now and the club have said no. Now he's taking to the next level.

    Gutted.

    I think they'll be a number of empty seats next year if they don't sort this mess out.

    Self respect Luke and the fulfillment of his contact.

    He's clearly been taking advice from Patrice Evra, the dummy spitting master.
  • HammerdublinHammerdublin
    The owners can only be blamed for keeping Bilic at the helm that long. Look at the state the club is in! I expect a few more players to say that they don't want to play for this clueless manager. The only thing that can and should be done is removing Bilic; this will stop the rot. After that, if anybody doesn't want to play for us he must be sold. But I am sure they all will be happy to play when Bilic is gone.
  • OldCastleSwiftOldCastleSwift
    What incentive? How about the five year contract that he signed?

    He's bottled it.

    Now I'm off to tell my boss I'm not working for the rest of the week because the he hasn't brought in the leftover chocolate from Christmas he said he would.
  • MoojorMoojor
    Lets blame the owners for his bad attitude. Seems fair.
  • sweepy23sweepy23
    When have we ever kept a truly great player? This was our chance to have signed a couple more and not made him the only stand out player in the team.
  • brookingsironsbrookingsirons
    like the world class striker he was buying all summer , payet is wrong for his actions imo but I can see his point getting beat by 5's and 4's every week putting balls into the box and nobody there takes it toll I suppose ..

    But if I told my boss I wasn't coming into work and wanted to leave .. well

    I'd be gone ;biggrin
  • OldCastleSwiftOldCastleSwift
    Wow.

    Bilic out? Really?

    How on earth can he be blamed for this?
