Payet set for one way trip this weekend
The treacherous behaviour of the last couple of weeks appears to have been stepped up again according to the Mirror where is reported that things are turning nastier and nastier.
Payet’s behaviour may have been influenced by misinformed reports that Marseilles had bid £25 million yesterday and that it had been rejected.
However, ClaretandHugh checked with its best sources and was told that no such bid had been made by the French club.
Payet has apparently told West Ham that he may be facing a family crisis if he doesn’t move back across the channel. Initially the Hammers gave him time to sort things out but do not believe his inability to do so is their problem.
As a result they are standing firm on their demands for £30-£35 million bids as Marseilles decide on their way forward.
West Ham are still considerinng their position on reporting Marseilles to FIFA on allegations of tapping up and are in no hurry to settle Payet’s future for him.
