Paul Merson has taken a big pop at Dimi Payet’s attitude and told the French midfielder he owes the club adding: “If it wasn’t for West Ham, nobody would have ever heard of Payet – he wouldn’t even be playing for France.”
The Sky Sports pundit declared: “I was impressed with Manchester United in midweek, but it was against a poor West Ham team, who were virtually playing with 10-men. Dimitri Payet doesn’t look interested at all.
“I would advise him to knuckle down and help get West Ham out of this relegation battle. He looks like someone that wants to be moving on his way.”
And he snapped: “He owes West Ham, who took a big chance on him and got him out of French football. West Ham made him a superstar,” he said.
“He needs to make sure West Ham have a good season. Then, at the end of the season, he could get his move. He looks like he’s putting himself first rather above West Ham football club.”
Ok, maybe Dimi is not in top form, maybe he’s a little bit unmotivated, but why? Most of the players don’t match him imho. Broken promises by the owners… when you have a player like Payet you have to do whatever it takes to keep him. Basically we have no strikers and scoring goals it’s not secondary… and dear Merson, maybe you didn’t know Payet, but that’s your problem… he was already a great player in the time of Marseille, there are not only Messi and Ronaldo… 😉
