    For every extra £1M they come in for him we add an extra £1000 to our bid for Hogan.

    Better than doing it the other way round ;biggrin

    Mmm, custard creams, bourbons and Jaffa cakes. Imagine £30m worth ;biggrin

    C&BSky - nah, they really aren't that clever.....

    Mrs G - if we don't sell Mr Sulky in the next 15 days then we'll be stuck with him on our books until the summer. I can see Marseille sticking around the £20m mark, maybe a couple of mill more then letting the Daves sweat in the hope they'll cave in at the last moment the way they did with Parker.

    There is part of me that wonders if we are being played like a well tuned violin.
    It is possible Dimi asked for a move and the Daves felt that the money available would be welcome but said to him that they would be slaughtered if they sold him so agreed that he had to be a villain to get the move. Dimi gets his move, Club gets the cash and us fans rally behind the club, everyone's a winner.

    I am not saying this is what has happened or even the most likely scenario but I am just mindful of the fact that all fans are saying sell now, which would have been unthinkable before Slavs press conference last week.

    I've seen this type of scenario mentioned elsewhere.

    if he comes back from the Euro's and asks for a move, what with the new stadium and everything they'd of been under massive pressure from the club.

    But that would be the mother of elaborate stings by the owners, surely they wouldn't even try that, would they

    ;whistle

    If he was after the money, surely he'd be touting himself left right and center.

    Funny how this 1m loyalty payment quickly came to the front.

    I'll stand by the family reasons as the main factor, just a rubbish way to handle it.

    If money means nothing and its all about the family, he can buy himself out of his contract ;ok
  • alderzalderz
    I totally believe the family thing. I just think going on strike isn't the way to do it.

    Marseille preparing third bid

    I'll be the first to say 21M (if I type this quickly)
  • eskimokingeskimoking
    Lots of stuff going around about how Payet is upset he's been made to look greedy when he's turned down offers from China.

    Hold on. Marseille are the only club, including last summer, to make a bid. So has he just revealed tapping up?
  • FortuneseekerFortuneseeker
    Like the pay negotiations in the sketch in "Not The Nine O'Clock News", for those of us old enough to remember it, when they move off offering it in biscuits and include some money we might be interested. ;lol
  • BazshuayiBazshuayi
    If he's turned down offers from China then it can't only be Marseilles who've offered, non?
  • eskimokingeskimoking
    Baz, I mean the club. They've explicitly said there were no offers to the club in the summer and none have even been rumoured in January. So that's my point. If he's received offers, for definite, then they've bypassed the club. Ergo, tapped up.

    Has he gone yet? And have we got a van load of cash?

    How do you feel about a van load of cakes and biscuits?
    French fancies?
  • alderzalderz
    Nobody seems to care about tapping up anymore and I don't get why

    He "only" earns 125K if all the bonuses come in, his basic is rumoured to be around 80K

    Not quite true.....Sully got excited and mentioned someone asked and were told 100m (I think ;hmm )

    I wouldn't worry, Slav let the "Tapping up" piece out of the bag the other day

    For me, the why of it is irrelevant.

    His behaviour in refusing to play is totally inexcusable.

    It may well turn out he has family issues, and if so I will certainly feel sorry for him, but none of that could explain his actions, and that, for me, is what he should be judged on rather than the why's and wherefore's.

    He has behaved disgracefully (assuming Slav's version is accurate, obvs.)

    Apart from refusing to train or play, he has almost certainly colluded with Marseilles' tapping him up.
  • Slaven_Cups_His_BeardSlaven_Cups_His_Beard
    Wonder how long this has been going on for?

    He must be in a pretty bad place to just down tools? Assuming it wasn't just a tactic

    Not buying the family thing at all.
    I don't believe you refuse to wear the shirt if your reason for leaving is that good. Seems like you'd just appeal to the club's compassion, rather than go on strike.

    Payet has thrown sulks at other clubs - were they all because of his family?

    Think some people are too eager to look for an excuse for the guy personally.

    As for this report that he's turned down offers from China and England, this is surely agent-driven drivel and part of the Great French Backtrack - how can Payet have turned down offers when it's pretty clear WHU haven't accepted a single bid for the guy?
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    Well, he's apparently agreed terms with Marseille without an offer being accepted.
