Payet bombshell: The fans respond
Dimi Payet has told the boss he doesn’t want to play for West Ham.
The club has moved heaven and earth to keep him and increased his salary to £125k a week but the sulky Frenchman wants out halfway through a critical season.
Hammers fans on the ClaretandHugh facebook forum @ https://www.facebook.com/groups/363174467150521/ have been responding.
Here’s some of their views:
O If that is the case sell him get rid hero to zero in one season ungrateful p…
O We aint got Payet get rid bye bye
O Can’t say I’m surprised, see ya !! ⚒
O Sell him to someone abroad for highest price . This is what he did to get move to us before
OGet rid please. We don’t need players that don’t want to play
O He is under contract until 2021 so we dont have to sell him but if we got £40m let him go..if no one offers that stick him in reserves..let Lanzini become main man
OWhat a mess this could be. We are happy to low ball other players so expect it to be done for Payet too. I can see him going for £20m which would be criminal. I can’t see us getting £40m that’s for sure.
O Don’t let the door hit your backside on the way out. The reason he has never achieved great things before is exactly this. He is a one season wonder. I know this will be controversial but I have believed for a while that he is the main reason for our poor form. We are trying to revolve a team around a player that has no passion or interest in playing for us.
O Great player but if he wants to go sell him to the highest bidder. That is obviously why we want Snodgrass.
O So long and thanks for all the goals. You were great, but now won’t be a great. No one is bigger than our club. Au revoir
O Get rid , cash in on him and buy someone who want’s to play for us. It’s clear he’s only up for it when the team is doing well ? Sell him to China for fifty million or some silly amount but not to another English club.
O Let him rot in the reserves, no Play, No pay
O I’m happy for the boost he gave us last season. We got him cheap for what he gave us – I hope he goes on and has every success.
O Judas Payet!!!! disrespecting the club and the fans
