If you read Matin Samuels article in the Mail, and believe him, then Bilic unloaded on Payet without the knowledge of the West Ham media team who were present at the presser.

imo the West Ham media team aren't much use, so might as well ignore them. ;ok

Keep taking bids until the final day of the window. Accept the highest and be done with it imo.

Can push the price up by doing this but does leave little time to spend the reddies

Yeoldhammer

considering the bids we are putting in I don't think we are buying anyone anyway

Ravel49

;lol ;ok

According to this Payet already agreed terms with Marseille ;angry

Vorselaarhammer

The guy has been "tapped up" since the summer, lets all breath and get passed it...

We skin them for as much as possible and say Au Revoir.

Yeoldhammer

Doesn't matter if he has agreed terms they need to agree terms with West Ham and a Fee well above the 19.5m Marseilles offered imo.

They made us bid for £32mil for Batshuayi who's inferior to Payet so they want him they can pay £35mil or more

PLF - I tried to read the original article on L'Equipe but its behind a pay-wall and I'm not subscribing to a French sports daily for one article.

The good thing for us is Marseille have a new American owner who is a billionaire.

£30 million minimum. Thanks.

Americans know nothing about football.

£60m ;ok

Vorselaarhammer

You always have to be careful with the Sun but if true he hasn't been speaking with his teams mates since December and that he tried to force a move in the summer....

Yeoldhammer

If he is that desperate Marseilles can stump up 20m and he can stump up 20m more himself.

I'd like to see the club hold out until the summer transfer window.

jay_in_cpt

40 million or banish him to reserves and let him eat snails...oh I meant clean Nobles football boots...
If I was the Daves I'd be on the blower to every Chinese team around

Hantshammer

I'd rather someone who wanted to play for us played in the reserves

McHammer

I blame the sleeping satellite

What you mean like when they tried to sell Parker to Fenerbahce? Yeah that worked a treat.....

jay_in_cpt

Yeh Aslef, but let's say a team from China bid 40 million, it's then
Up to his beloved Marseilles to match or better it

And keep paying him wages for doing nothing? ;hmm

No, he just turns down the move to China like Parker turned down the £10m move to Turkey and we ended up selling him to Spurs for £5.5m.

Will get some of the money back from fines if he continues to refuse to play

But they couldn't give him upwards of £300k a week.....

If this is about his family then China's not France no matter how much they're offering. And I suspect he wants to keep his international place, not sure if he'd do that playing in China where the standard isn't quite so high.

Just to recap: ;biggrin

He is refusing to play and in breach of contract. Let the lawyers take it up.

jay_in_cpt

Don't see why it should be Dimis choice where he ends up playing...
But I understand what u saying Aslef, things aren't that easy to solve , I just hope Marseilles come
Up with a figure we all would be happy with , IMO 35-40 million pounds, any less he must stay...

MrsGrey

Refuse to train = fine of at least 1 weeks wages. Keep refusing, basically he'll never get paid ;ok

Because William Wilberforce abolished the slave trade in 1807 and we're not allowed to sell people any more
