Rio Ferdinand has launched a stinging attack on Dimi Payet slamming his decision to go on strike.
The former Hammers defender said: “I had problems at football clubs at various different times. At Man United I had problems with the club at various times with certain people, but it never entered my mind not to play. You owe it to the club and the fans.
“Especially where he came from [relative obscurity after three clubs in the previous four years] before he got to this club.
“They gave him the platform to play at the Euros, they gave him a platform for a new contract and to become a player that is known in the football world and you have to respect that.
“A lot of them would give their right arm to play for West Ham and would not understand how a player could say he would not play. They would do it without thinking.
“Who is advising him? He is a grown man and should understand it himself, but sometimes you are in a bubble and need good advisers and I question that.”
Glad he has agreed his new contract with his beloved club now I hope he suffers heart felt pain like so many young fans that thought he was a god,
We should have unloaded him after the euros and got £45 mil
But like most I thought we has a genuine stand up person
How wrong can you be
If only we could find a job for £125 K per week that we hated just to train 25 hours a week kick a ball for 90 mins
Too right would love to go on strike on my £120 a day let alone £125k 😂😂
He’s one of our own he’s one of our own oh Rio Ferdinand he’s one of our own.
