Payet’s back pain reaches our necks!

|

dimitri-payet-explique-pourquoi-il-a-choisi-lille_69067So it seems that Dimi Payet has developed a pain in the back …yeah and  the rest of us have one in the neck which is described by most doctors I know as “Payet’s Pox”.

It’s absolutely amazing what happens in football isn’t it? No sooner has a player told a manager that he will never kick a ball for his team again than he gets  a mystery back pain. Bizarre – what a coincidence.

Amazingly much the same sort of thing happened to that Ravel Morrison except that his mystery pain was between his legs in the groin after a major bust up with Allardyce.

Payet – regularly described as one of the best professionals around-  has chosen to down tools for reasons which aren’t 100 per cent clear at the end of a day full of drama and intrigue.

But you do wonder whether the pain in the back will develop into the inner leg, stomach, right elbow and left ankle over the next few weeks.

It’s all been coming for a long time and to be honest I’m really glad it will soon be over. And I hope he is made to sit it out with the ressies over the next four months.

After all we were never going to sell him this January so why should we dance to his tune and take some quickly scrubbed together offer when we have the chance of making him pay for his total treachery.

Gold and Sullivan had precisely the same issue with a certain Robbie Savage at Birmingham when the Welshman was forced to turn out for the reserves  as he pursued a move to Blackburn. He ran out at St Andrew’s in front of 20,000 who had turned up at the match solely to give him as much abuse as possible.

The co chairman will also no doubt be recalling the Scotty Parker business after we were relegated as they decide on the way forward through this mess.

In the meantime let’s hear no more of pains in the back – that’s just insulting.

I once described Payet as a man destined to become a legend …how could I know it would be as the most famous in our history for hideous and insidious behaviour.

    Let the loser rot for the remainder of the season.I understand what some say that not selling him now is cutting off our nose to spite our face but why should we let this termite get what he wants when he wants it.No not for me leave him to rot & get EVEN fatter!!

    He must have the same doctor as diafra sakho.

  • Dunlopilo says:

    Apparently this is not the first time he has created a similar situation. Several years ago, while at St Etienne, he also went to the clash trying to force a transfer to PSG. The president of the club eventually told him to stop being a ____ _, and after 48 hours, Payet gave up and presented apologies.

    So, yes, there is a precedent, and he does have that super star attitude, which is the one that surely kept him out of the French selection for many years. Now that he had a decent Euro, it has gone to his head. We are paying for that. I have lost all respect I had for this fellow. The way he has of doing things is indecent and a horrible example. for the rest of team mates, and for the young ones who would have him a a model.

    Let him on the sidelines. It is not a question of money, but principles.

      Saw Radai talking about it earlier.His girlfriend is a St.Etiene fan & she hates him he said.

      • Radai Lama..Out of contract & available says:

        Yeah she does.I mean really,really hates him.Even during the Euros she hated him 😂😂

  • Dunlopilo says:

    The French word the president of St Etienne used was “andouille”.

  • Long Fella says:

    I cant get my noggin around some of this.This worm acts like a total pillock but still a minority of fans say ohhh poor Dimi he should feel like this we promised him Lacazetre & Batshuayi but we gave him freebies.He must feel so let down.He only wants to move to a bigger club bless his cotton socks.
    What a pile of manure.The man has acted like a total you no what but still its ahhh bless poor dimi he has been wronged by the club.

    Give it a rest you merchants.

    He just has a dilettante mentality. That’s all. Unreliable, untrustworthy. Was lucky to be spotted by someone while he was in Nantes selling t shirts in a shop. Otherwise, he would still be selling t shirts or who knows what else, because clever he isn’t.

    Its funny LF.Payet didnt get what he was promised.What was he promised then.Was he personally promised anything.Do these wise monkeys have insider knowledge that he was personally promised anything.
    Like i said to Gonzo lastnight the first three weeks of the window when little movement takes place is a free hit to the moaners about the board,now they have another free hit with the Payet situation.But god forbid it should be Payets fault though he has effectively shafted us all.Always someone elses fault but Payets.
    Personally i don’t care bout the board one way or another & i have said that before but this absolving Payet of the blame to turn it on them is wrong.As for the the you cant blame a player wanting to go to a bigger club then that is crap as well if he goes to Marseille.
    I think merchants sums them up LF
