    We are West Ham
    Dimi's toys are out the pram
    I just don't think he understands
    We're bigger than one man
    So do one, you can!
    We are United West Ham

    We've got Payet
    He says that he won't play
    I just don't think he understands
    It's not a cunning plan
    To try to mug West Ham
    That's why we're keeping his pay.

    That's the end of him at West Ham. It will surely end up with him leaving in spite of Slav's points to the contrary. He can easily "do the minimum" and claim he is available to play which will mean the club would be forced to pay him whilst he sits on the periphery.

    Need to close it off quickly and move on whilst there's still time in this window to do so.

    We don't want a berahino situation to unfold, it will not be in the club's interests.

    Today's statement by Slav is basically inviting him to hand in a transfer request and inviting interested parties to submit their bids.

    I think that it is the exact opposite.

    The Berahino affair doesn't seem to have impacted WBA badly at all.

    Get your point however berahinho wasn't key to West Brom on the field, probably want getting paid anywhere near what payet is and wasn't ever one of the best players in Europe playing for a "smaller club" - there are quite a few differences

    Another detail - that Mirror article says his family are unsettled and want to return to France.

    I don't know how true that is.

    But even if it is, he could have handled it MUCH better.

    20m tell Marseilles to double it or move on.

    Fixed it for ya! ;wink

    While I would agree with you Grey, we should slap an £80M price tag on his head... however, I think he will be sold but the fee will be undisclosed unfortunately.
  • baracks_a_hammerbaracks_a_hammer
    Not a problem KHA - Luke will find out what the fee is and will share it with us

    Not sure if it's a chicken/egg situation. Is he unhappy because on the whole we've been rubbish or have we been rubbish because he came back with a grass is greener attitude and unsettled everyone.
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    Or none of the above. ;hmm

    Yes, apparently his family have been looking at houses in the French quarter

















    of Manchester................

    Not sure Dimi has a right to be disappointed with the players. Two years ago, I had no idea who he was while Feghouli and Ayew had shown they were pretty good for both club and country.

    That actually makes it worse, if we'd got our act together in the summer, who knows where we'd be

    Thing is, we've not heard his side yet, and there will be one.

    Slav is great, but once you cross him, you're normally done, short term or long term.....

    He's not to be messed with and I love him

    I actually don't feel angry about Payet.....nothing, nope nothing whatsoever.

    Enjoyed his best parts and that's about it.

  • baracks_a_hammerbaracks_a_hammer
    So we have payet throwing a strop, Sakho throwing a strop and Feghouli who apparently did likewise towards the end of his time at his previous club. Slav must have his work cut out!!

    The Sun illustrates its story with pictures of the players at training today.

    Including one of Slav and Reid, captioned 'Slaven Bilic talking to Hammers captain Winston Reid. He will be looking to him to help keep the squad together. ;doh

    The rot started after our ridiculous exit from the Europa League where not enough preparation was done to stop lightning from striking twice. The only glimmer after that for Payet was for us to finish top 6 and by the start of January that had well and truly faded. I can understand him thinking that he has one last chance to sign for one of the top 6 or 7 clubs in Europe but the manner is appalling. Do it quietly. To refuse to play is a disgrace to his teammates and to the club.
    Sell him for as much as possible (refusing to sell him is bringing us down to his level) and tell Lanzini to fill Payet's boots. Spend the money on some future-looking signings - Batshuayi for example, maybe even Snodgrass, but surely not not Defoe !

    Sahko sulked when Carroll was named in the starting XI instead of him and he came back, no reason Payet can't say sorry to Slaven and everything will be forgiven.

    Mrs G - my dad always told me to never believe anything in the Sun other than the date at the top of the page but then they once managed to get that wrong

    ;quaver Goodbye Payet, Dimitri Payet,
    I just don't think you understand,
    You're only one man, not bigger than West Ham,
    Goodbye Dimitri Payet ;quaver
