Dimi Payet; the Epilogue

grey_til_I_dye

It's a gesture from the club (and a decent one, imo.)

Can't see any reason they should end up out of pocket over it. Isn't there always a caveat about getting players' names on the shirt?

Deanscaleshammer

I agree Grey. They could have just kept quiet and done nothing.

Making an offer to help some fans in this situation shows their understanding and appreciation.

Payet on twitter via OM.

He Looks really happy doesn't he .. mind you if you had to pay £500k back I
suppose it would take the smile off your face ;doh

SuzanneClaret

I'm not remotely bothered with his level of happiness.

He is dead to me.

Permission to have this thread closed and dead and buried come 1st Feb.

SuzanneClaret

Granted.

As far as I'm concerned Dimi or Payet are now considered swear words in my household and will not be tolerated ;wink

Hammerwombat

I believe in the future he should be referred to as the French one, so as not to cause any other upset.

OldCastleSwift

Sir Hiss might be more accurate

I heard him Jay. Encouraging.

MunichHammer

What did he say, jay?

baracks_a_hammer

It seems like our French friend has set a bit of a trend

Apparently Ulloa has tweeted that he will not play for Leicester again...

;hmm

Sunderland have been reported to have offered £3 m for Ulloa, now that is taking the mick. They have just flogged Van Aanholt for 14 million. Harry R reckons they are down and David M can do nothing to stop that happening.

IronHerb

van Aanho lts £14m is the total with add ons included. If they are paid in stages then they probably got the £3m up front.

He said West Ham have done the best business so far in the window. Snodgrass feeding Carroll could be special.

Or words to that effect.

MrsGrey

Moyes talked about having limited funds 'with a capital L'.

I think he basically has whatever budget he can raise himself.

Fortuneseeker

Iron, so on that basis Sunderland may have offered £1 with the rest in add ons? ;biggrin

He was so blunt, damning and totally disgraced with Payet's behavior , he without swearing slated him to the hilt and also slated the quality of the French League compared to the PL...
It was like he was a ex Hammer !

IronHerb

^^^^
He said this too. ;biggrin

EXETERHAMMER

Well I am glad the Payet saga is now over. I think £25 million is a decent return and we should be pleased to have him off our hands. He really was great last season, but as others have said, since the Euros he has been no better than any of the other players.

Good luck Dmitri, WHU now moves on.

Giant_Hammer

Exeter, you wish him good luck. I on the other hand am unforgiving and hope his elastic breaks. ;biggrin

thornburyiron

He says his stand off started a long time ago and my guess is it's been going on most of the season. He seems to think his behaviour was all in order and he regrets nothing.

IronHerb

Leave it.

I expected to come on site and see comments about Bilic (and Henry's) comments on Sky Sports page ;hmm

He was showered with love/affection and then decided he would not play for us anymore. So despite what was said about him not owing us an apology ( I fail to see why Bilic would think commenting in such a way wouldnt have the potential to irritate a large number of fans )

I was not impressed at all and lets just say he's not endeared himself to me. Maybe its just me overreacting? Maybe its too sensitive?

However, I think the least that could've been done was to big us up as IMO we MORE than deserved it ;angry
