An avalanche of responses came in within 20 minutes – here they are!
O Payet! Di Canio was good but when Payet has the ball you just hold your breath!
O I think that Payet just nicks it. He has more pace than Di Canio did, digs in more tracking back and can take a wonderful set piece.
O I know you will slate me for this. Payet is the new Di Canio lololol For now di Canio, but Payet will soon surpass him
O Payet
O Payet, pure magic for the entire time that he is on the pitch
O Payet. Di Canio was a legend and loved the club. But Payet is all that and more
O Paolo
O Payet is ‘different Gravy’ !!!
O Payet. You sit in the terrace and just watch on in awe while he makes world class players like Yaya Toure look like a Sunday League player. His work rate and passion to football, the club and the fans is breathtaking, and his set piece is simply outstanding.
O I’d say a front three of Di Canio and Payet playing behind Tevez but maybe I’m being greedy.
O Di Canio at the moment. But if Payet keeps going the way he is he will overtake him in 3 or 4 years time!!…
O Di Canio but Payet will join him as a Legend.
O Di Canio – for now. If Payet can keep this up for two or three years then he may surpass Paolo.
O Di Canio. He came to us because nobody else would touch him and became a legend. So many stand out moments his goal against Wimbledon in my eyes can’t be beaten. Still remember the sit in against Bradford too, so funny. Payet will become a legend but not at moment. That is as long as he stays and doesn’t get pushed into chasing the pound by a greedy agent
O Both!! But I think if Payet stays , he will become a Hammers legend. Absolute quality yesterday!! COYI!!
O Still DiCanio for me. Dimi hasn’t had enough games yet
O Di Canio for me, showed season after season his class, skill and passion. Not saying that Payet won’t, but it’s Paolo edging it!!
O Di Canio for now… and anyone saying different is under 30
O DiCanio was equally breathtaking in his first 15 games or so. When Dimi has a full season under his belt It’ll be a harder question, but for now it has to still be DiCanio

O Payet purely because he plays away games .
