Just realized what thread I'm on... Can I request that members are allowed a 24 hour swearing amnesty on the Payet thread? ;wink Awww go on? Go on? Go on? (apply Irish female accent)
Well, I suspect that it is what your read, rather than heard, and if you aren't prepared to share your source, and have that evaluated, then don't be surprised if your comments are dismissed as 'rumour' and blue cheese.
And it is a bit disingenuous to cite your unsubstantiated rumour as though it were a given and accepted fact, and then make a point based on it.
;whistle
But imo it shows respect to other site members if you make clear how reliable or not the info is - we are all forming our opinions and discussing the issues based on what info is out there. If someone is posting info that's just made up, it's wasting all our time.
Garbage in, garbage out.
Posting stuff you know is made up is wumming, which is against site rules. I'm not suggesting that's what Izzy is doing, at all, but equally, I don't think everything he posts is carven on tablets of stone in the Lord's own handwriting. ;biggrin
Allow users to use their critical faculties and their own judgement.
You were ;ok -ing while I was editing my post
You might want to read back and see if you still think it's ;ok
;diop
If Costa leaves Chelsea they will likely not win the league
Anyone is free to post what they 'heard'.
Personally, I think it's courtesy to say where it was heard.
My issue in this instance is when an 'I heard', unsourced and unverified rumour is subsequently used as though it is a known fact.
Why get so snotty?
If you don't want to believe it then that's fine, no problem at all.
You said: .
That suggests it is a given fact.
Subsequently, you said it was 'what you heard', without choosing to identify the source.
For me, confusing rumour and fact is unhelpful.
Poor, poor Payet, paid millions and millions, adored and worshipped, name sung every minute of every game. What a terrible injustice has been done to him by West Ham not spending £100 million in the summer ;lol ;doh
Before West Ham he was called Dimitri Who? Now we've failed him? What a joke.
Let's all remember that Bobby Moore requested to leave West Ham for Tottenham. Tottenham!!! We didn't allow it. If he had the power the players had today, he'd have been off. Even our most beloved player had his head turned.
;wink
But we still luv em
COYI
It's either because of his family situation OR lack of WHU's progress (Europe, league position etc.).
If he was playing for
the Russian MafiaChelski, he'd still want away according to his side of the argument.If the club was a little more flushed I would let him rot and take the hit just to show him and others that it's the clubs, (or actually the supporters) that are the most important. Players come and go, some remembered with fondness and pride, others with for example, Dimi?, Dimi? nah doesn't ring a bell.
But we continue to try and haggle on the low side with transfers
Staggering really but I suppose when you're a game changer that's what happens
I just want him gone, club get a nice fee and Slav uses to build again, properly this time.
I can't see this being resolved even though you can't rule it out completely (sorry boss had a change of heart) imagine what kind of reaction he'd get from the fans?
Such a shame that he decided to do it this way, rather than get his head down and say to the club I'll give you everything but if the offer to the club is right you let me go
The difference is that Ludivine, Noa, Milan, and Pharell are staying in France so if Payet stayed here he would spend the rest of his contract flying back to France at every opportunity, missing training sessions and getting increasingly depressed.
It's a fair assumption that the reason his performance this season has been a shadow of last season is that all this is getting to him mentally, it could even be the reason why the rest of the team has underperformed, his attitude has had a negative effect on the other players, I could even believe that some who are parents (Noble, Collins, Carroll) might even sympathise with him.
The best thing for both West Ham and Payet is to get him out of here, talk to Marseille, sort out a deal and find a suitable replacement.
Gary Neville @GNev2
You're better off without him. He's a grain of sand on a beach to your club.
Not only are there factual errors, he doesn't know the difference between disenfranchised and disenchanted. Plus, he invests significance in the things that aren't significant. Plus he says the new stadium was meant to catapult us to the next level but it hasn't so no wonder Dimi's fed up. Erm, Mr Bonn, anybody who thinks it would catapult us to he next level by January is deluded. ;doh
He's trying to justify the unjustifiable. And blaming the victim.
Even if you wouldn't have thought we would have progressed so quickly by Jan, no one thought we'd go so badly backwards.
