Dimitri Payet has refused to calm fears he coule eave West Ham in January.
Speaking on a French TV he said: “Leave West Ham this winter? I am asking myself other questions, but I don’t close the door to anything”
After the interview Payet tweeted: “A big thank you to the team of TF1 for this welcome a pleasant time spent in your company See you soon 😉”
Payet scored 12 goals and providing 15 assists in all competitions last season but has only managed one goal and four assist so far this season.
West Ham signed Payet for £10.7m in June 2015 on a five year contract. In February 2016 he signed a new five a half year contract worth up to £125,000 per week comprising of £68,000-a-week basic wage, £25,000-a-week appearance fee, £1m signing-on fee, plus other bonuses, taking the total to around £125,000 per week.
It would be a crying shame to lose him but , no one player is bigger than any club . And that includes West Ham . Besides , the £100m price tag could even be good for us . We definitely need a few strikers . So if he decides he’s had enough of West Ham then good luck . Carroll could be back soon , not up and running but , back . That is unless he prefers scaling the Great Wall of China .
For me the most frustrating , no , annoying thing is the Sakho situation . No news , no hint of anything . Hope Ayew proves to be a good signing but , remember he is not an Out and out striker , he was / is primarily an attacking midfielder .
Looks like we’re going to need our umbrellas this season .
What good is £100 million if nobody wants to join you. Losing Psyet in Jan would be a disaster on top of what is already a disaster of a season to date. There is not one thing to be positive about at the moment and tell me what would Carroll coming back do for us? Can’t stay fit long enough and isn’t a prolific striker. Last summer’s buys have been shown to be very poor. Without a striker we are in real trouble and now our goalkeeper conspires to give us a draw from the jaws of an undeserved win that we needed going in to the next 3 horrendous games.
I fully expect him to go in January. So much so I’m trying to persuade my kids not to have Payet on their West Ham shirts this Christmas.
Every time he meets up with his French team mates who are playing champions league football he must think “why am I at West Ham? And I’m not knocking our club, he deserves to play champions league football and win some honours.
I think he wanted to leave in the summer an club blocked it which is why he isn’t putting as much effort in this season, we won’t get anywhere near 100 million for him will be lucky to get 50,
Agreee, he has hardly set the season alight so far and there is the hint of an attitude there. Need people to fight when going tough not look to jump ship.
Whatever is going on behind the scenes, something has to be done bloody quick. All this our season starts against …….. . No one looks like they give a toss & haven’t all season.
If we had beaten Watford i believe we would have kicked on & be top half easily. How have we gone from being top 7 finish to **** in a matter of months??
