Sky pundit Paul Merson has criticised Dimitri Payet’s recent displays for West Ham, saying that he owes the club for making him a superstar “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,” Merson said.
“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. If it wasn’t for West Ham nobody would have ever heard of Payet – he wouldn’t even be playing for France.”
“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.
“Look at him the other day when Ashley Fletcher scored at Old Trafford. He didn’t look happy. He should start running around and winning points for the club.”
For once I agree totally with Merson.
Likewise Roman, he should buck his ideas up, we need him to set an example not play like he wants to be somewhere else.
