Payet ‘sell or keep’ POLL UPDATE

|

payet2West Ham fans look likely to spring a small surprise as voting continues in a Dimi Payet “stay or sell” Β poll on Irons website ClaretandHugh.

With the France midfielder claiming in a TV interview that he wouldn’t close the door on a possible move, Hammers fans Β were expected to vote heavily for him to stay.

Accusations from such as Sky pundits Paul Merson and Phil Thomson that the Irons were becoming a one team feathers had definitely ruffled feathers among the supporters.

As a result CandH launched a poll in which is asked: “Should we sell him if the price is right?”

Most expected a runaway “keep him” vote but after voting passed more than 1,000 the lead – whilst sizeable – was narrower than the landslide many expected.

A total of 600 votes (59.7 per cent) ad voted for him to stay at 3 pm on Tuesday with 364 or 36.22 per cent saying – “sell” and a further 4.08 per cent registering a don’t know vote.

Voting will continue until later today and you can join in @https://www.claretandhugh.info/poll-dimiti-payet-sell-or-keep/

    Its crackers,scatty call it what you will.I read Parksies piece earlier & he was so right,we shouldnt expect Payet to be a track back,defend player.Ok he shouldnt neglect all duties but let him do what he does best,create & be our spark on the attack.
    I really haven’t a clue why 4 out of 10 want to sell him.We have the best flair player since Paolo & some want to get rid of him already.Sheer madness in my opinion.
    The lunacy of this is that they will be the ones crying out for a player with the key to unlock a defence when he has gone.What a bunch of wallies.

      Haha… it’s like asking me “do you want to spend a night with Kelly Brooks?” “No thanks, I’d rather stay home with a good book”… lool πŸ˜€

  • mattefumi27 says:

    Everyone is entitled to express his own opinion, but I have checked the result the poll again… still nearly 40% against Payet… sorry, but it doesn’t make sense imho… I was so bored with all those useless, average players under the BFS reign, anyone with that something special, that spark that is the essence of football… and now we’ve got Payet, the light, the brilliance and you want to sell him? I really don’t understand… the Lord works in mysterious ways, as they say.. lol πŸ˜‰

  • slaven a laugh says:

    How many times over the years have we been able to say that West Ham have one of the best players in the world? how many jealous fans of other clubs voted in this poll I wonder.

  • slaven a laugh says:

    I didn’t vote in the idiotic poll which asked if we should keep or sell our best player. It is like asking should we have kept or sold Pauli dicanio. This is a player who has lit up the premier league, who fans of any team in the world would want playing in their team.

    Lol the deleter has landed.Are people not allowed to point out we have some right miserable sods elsewhere.Because i will tell you what,for the first time in 47 years im sick to death of some of our fellow supporters banging their self pity drum about leaving Upton Park & droning on about rebranding & London on the badge.The idiots should go try living in Aleppo or Mosul,then they might have something to whine about!!

  • jimbo says:

    Well this is complete madness. Why would we ever agree to flog Payet? A miserable Payet is still better than most. And the money we would get would be wasted on more second rate clowns who either are crap, permanently injured, sulking or all of the above. Sell China Doll, send Tore back and give Sakho and Ayew a run together. Pace and movement from deep, not a glass statue up front.

  • Alfie says:

    So what we know now is that 36% of our fanbase are closet Spuds πŸ˜‰

  • RickHammer says:

    Bloody hell the guy said one thing after get prodded to give an answer & now some lunatics are slagging him off & want to get rid lool.This must be one of the maddest polls & results i have seen.
    Whats the point of selling him to get forwards Kevin?
    Without Payet we would have no one to create much for them.Is Noble going to become our creative p!aymaker instead πŸ˜€

  • mattefumi27 says:

    Please can we do a poll of how many people would like to keep the China Doll or how many people think he’ll stay fit for 2 weeks in a row? Thanks… loool πŸ˜‰

    • GW says:

      He’s irreplaceable Matte there’s no need for a poll he is better than any forward that has ever existed and alongside our very own Maradona-Esque super captain will single handily fire us to champions league glory.. All hail the mighty china doll and his scrappy doo sidekick πŸ™‚

      • mattefumi27 says:

        you’re right GW… the Super Mighty Andy is not only unplayable, unstoppable, unbelievable, unbreakable… now he’s also irreplaceable… loool πŸ˜€

  • kevin says:

    If Payet wants to go then let him . The money will come in handy for the strikers we are definitely missing . In fact he can take a few of those white elephants we signed in the summer with him .

  • GW says:

    Payets going nowhere! Now is there a forum anywhere that I can continually bleat and moan on about the LS? πŸ™‚

    • RickHammer says:

      I know just the place GW lool

      • GW says:

        Well I was served a lukewarm beer against Stoke and have written a strongly worded letter to the Daily mail to show my disgust πŸ™‚

        • Tone not Tore says:

          You shouldnt forget the daily dose of Rebranding & London being on the badge moaning.Different day but the same old codgers moaning Lol

          • RickHammer says:

            They dont like it up em Tone.Tell the truth that people are bored stupid of their whinging on blogs & they get all touchy.Too obsessed with themselves to realise that others dont want to read them moaning all the time.
            Yeah you dont like the LS,Ok we got that the first time & the second time & the third time…

    • Stan The Man says:

      You aint wrong there Alfie,we’re now into November & the same bores are slapping their gums everyday.No wonder they get the rip taken out of them elsewhere lmao

  • Hammer-Ash says:

    Can we do a poll of how many people would like to see Ravel morrison back in claret and blue now we know some of the truth about him and bfs??

  • pauljs7 says:

    Not trying to be pedantic but surely the wording of the question is subjective and so everyone’s answer should be yes?

    “if the price is right” could be Β£200mil…
