Payet claims mystery back injury

|

thumbThe Telegraph quote club sources as telling them that Payet told West Ham on Tuesday that he would “never kick a ball again for West Ham” if he did not get a move in the transfer window. Today he allegedly told the club he is now suffering from a back injury  and therefore cannot train and reiterated that he wants to go.

The same club source confirmed to the Telegraph that Marseille have bid for their former player and described the offer as “low”. It is thought to be just under £20 million plus a £2.5 million bonus if Marseille qualify for the Champions League.

If Payet claims he is injured his advisors may dispute and fight any attempts to fine the player two weeks wages for breaching his contract. The club will want to independently verify whether the player is injured.

Other reports claims the club had already agreed the player could leave in the Summer so are stunned he has decided to try and force a move now.

    An unfulfilled bloke from Marseille
    Came over to West Ham to play

    What is going on. Valencia wanted out. Sakho supposed to have a back injury. Payet claiming he has the same and reported players we are chasing do not want to play for us.
    There’s more to this than meets the eye

    To be fair Darkhorse i wouldnt really use those two nutcases as a good gauge as to most players feelings & Payet is just doing what Payet does.
    Now if players like Noble,Antonio,Cresswell & Reid all suddenly wanted out then i might be concerned 😉
