I can't see Dimi ever setting foot in the club again, our saying he is not for sale is simply to negotiate, they want to pay 20m and we want 30m we will be asking 35m and hopefully settle at 30m minimum and not the more likely 25m.
There is a case for the all to common add ons in this day and age 3m if he keeps his dummy in seems fair, and 200k for every free kick Lanzini or Cresswell put over the bar.
Payet's game has suffered because his family has gone back to France. The team has suffered because Paye is disrupting the dressing room. We're better off without him
That being said, I'm not sure there isn't another twist in all this. It's rumoured that he's split from his wife, some kind of extra marital stuff going on, it's not really a surprise that he's desperate to get back to France (again not defending him, before anyone jumps on my case!) )
If that turns out to be true, it might be just about the only situation where he can work his way back. Swept under the rug as him not thinking straight because of home pressure.
If Carroll's post-match interview is anything to go by Payet would be wise to keep a low profile at the training ground next week. It would appear players like Carroll don't take kindly to team-mates who take the money and then run
Now, I wasn't sure after the interview whether to think the same as above, or whether Carroll (and the rest of the team) had been forewarned to say something like that and he was saying it through gritted teeth. Hard to tell. Thoughts?
I did say a while ago that the PR machine of the club focused on nothing but Payet for the majority of its time, I expect this did wind up the players to no end.
I doubt Dimi even will go to training to have to avoid Carroll anyway.
To be fair, he does say they 'haven't really spoken' which to me means they might have exchanged normal pleasantries, but not had any kind of long chat. Dimi's in for training and beetling off sharpish at the end.
I'm not reading much more than that into it, based on what Nobes said, rather than interpret it to mean that Dimi has been refusing to speak to anyone and cutting them dead.
As Mrs Grey says "I haven’t really spoken to him for the last two or three weeks" isn't necessarily that they haven't said a word to each other. Journalists do like to sensationalise things so you need to read what is actually said rather than just glancing at the headlines.
As yet Payet hasn't said anything to the press so we're still only getting one side of the story.

Hard to tell. Thoughts?Seeing as Bilic said in his press conference that Payet won't be training with the team how is that even an issue? And again no direct quote from a player, just some journo speculating.
Noble says he hasn't "really" spoken to Payet, as Mrs G says they may of just swapped pleasantries, a few weeks ago he was bigging Payet up saying they talk all the time.
There seems to be no doubt that Bilic has bent over backwards for Payet with regards missing training, extra time off etc. But he hasn't said he won't play again, he said his attitude has to change for him to be considered.
His agent has come out with the "family problem" business.....

CFC won't implode, they probably will win the league and Costa will be back short term
Conte dropped Costa as he was causing trouble, Conte is in control
Bilic wants Payet but Payet refuses to play, Payet is in control
Costa will be back and Chelsea should win the league, and probably will even if he does go
And let's face it, not like fans are never fickle

It's whether he pulls on the jersey in a match scenario?
Sully saying that we won't even look at offers under 30m, bit different from the 100m he was saying in the summer.
40m - jobs a good un!
Let'g go ''Frozen'' and let him go.
Do you want to build a snowman?

Imagine the United team if they signed Payet...
De Gea
Valencia Rojo Jones Blind
Carrick Pogba Herrera
Mkhitaryian Ibrahimovic Martial
Gotta laugh... ;lol

Must be only so much Dimi Payet FC other players can take before they get tired of it.
