Leroy wants Payet exiled to the stands

I’m not surprised to hear Dimitri Payet’s doesn’t want to play for us – that’s been obvious to me all season but it’s a disgrace.

Without our great club nobody would have known about the geezer and to have used us and now abused us is a shocking, shocking, thing.

Slaven Bilic has made it clear that the club will not be selling him.

WELL NOW THEY HAVE TO STICK BY THAT AND IF NECESSARY LET HIM SIT IN THE STANDS FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD.

We might get £25 million for a 29 year old but what’s that gonna buy you these days – very very little and to let him walk away on his own terms sends out the worst possible message to the squad.

They say loyalty has gone from football – well it shouldn’t have done and I feel let down and disgusted by Payet. He needs to be taught a lesson.

In the stands for you mate…make him sweat it out Slav!

To be honest he has been very poor all season and adopting the attitude and body language of a sulky kid which is precisely the thing West Ham don’t need at all in their current position.

Now this news may finally lance the boil that has been festering behind the scenes and at last the other players can step up and do their thing.

It looks like a blessing in disguise to me and that Slav should come out and openly break the news is a great thing and doing the right thing by the fans.
