Reckon Scott Hogan will cost them at least half of that. I'd imagine they will need a bit more creativity also.
Not too bad a swap for them really. Just funny.Payet for Snodgrass and Hogan...
West Ham announce the price on their official twitter
They are the only club in professional football that I've seen do this. Most unprofessional club in the entire football league
No class.
The board want to make out they are tough business folk.
Had forgotten that Fonte cost them £8m-plus add ons!
he would've done well to remember where he was before he joined us!
playing for one of france's top teams, with 15 caps for his country?
wasn't doing that bad.
we gave him a boost? sure.
we made him? not a chance.
15 caps and 1 goal for France in his career before he joined us, 17 caps and 7 goals, Euro 2016 player of the tournament, £125k in his 18 months with us! Yeah we made him. 90% of the footballing public hadn't heard of Dmitri Payet before we signed him if they're honest!
Payet has screws us.
He signed a whopping great contract, pretended everything was lovely and at the first sign of trouble he basically said, 'I'm leaving' and I don't want to play anymore. Plus, you can't sell me to anyone other than Marseille.
We could hold out for 40m. But what would it achieve. Every month he.s costing us the best part of half a million quid. He's not going to play. He's not going to sign for anyone else even if they were to offer more. Hes not going to be worth any,ore in the summer, as they're is only one club in for him.
Is ****, but it's his fault. Not the boards. He could have just told Bilic that he wanted to go home, but he'll do everything he could to get West Ham the best race. To start a bidding war to drive the price up and carry on playing through January. But he didn't.he sulked and huffed and told Marseille to come and get him.
But we knew that this was his MO when we signed him!
- er...what?!sell the snake 28m and au revoir monseur payet.
Once gone I will remember the great play last season and the goal v boro, free kick against accrington and the rabonna v watford.
shame but we are a better team now from what we were this season.
time to move on.
upgrade in the summer
So looks like he his on his way to the south of France for a medical.
We get the money we want.
Thank **** he's gone.
Hopefully we can afford Hogan now
Good riddance
- You know itPayet has totally mugged off our board and the club. This never would have happened to levy because he would have nipped it in the bud earlier or not made false promises. We've lost out one world class player. Shame really.
The current transfer figure could rise to £29-30m should Marseille qualify for the Champions League and/or win Ligue 1 during Payet's contract.
- No, sure he's no mugWhats the point in that. They ain't winning the league!
Surely we have included a sell on clause. Sully ain't that much of a mug is he?
- The negativeWell done West Ham. Spent record amounts in the summer. Bomb out of Europe to a 2bob p**** team, then get involved in a relegation scrap. fall out with the best player we have had since Di Canio - whilst saying he isn't for sale - Then buckle and flog him for less than his transfer value, spending the money on a couple of two bob average 30 year old squad players.
Thanks 'Super' Slav. Nice job numbnuts.
- the positiveAnd amidst all of this, 10th in the League after a rubbish start to the season with our best player disrupting the team in our first season at a new stadium, not even fit for football. Thanks Slav from me
The owners are to blame, as although Payet has lacked class, the owners are selling the West Ham project as class when it's clearly ambitious at best, dishing out class wages and selling us on our stadium being class and not backing it up in their transfer negotiations or bids in fact they are a hinderance.
In the end decent players will behave like ***** if they are sold a dummy.The stadium will only survive being filled on there being a class team on a he pitch and players of Payet's, Sanchez, Hazzard 'class' will ultimately
achieve it. You fool yourselves we can build a decent team but keeping that together especially after any remote success will be near to impossible.
I'm used to decent talent leaving but that was at a stadium made in the mould of our stature, to see it happen at this new one will hurt as other club's want to punish our good fortune as much as possible.
100%
The way Payet has acted (if true) is classless but the whole thing I believe brought on because of the false promises on what we were looking do at the new stadium.
Many of us will be walking away at the end of the season for the same reason
- in response to Mr NegativeI have a hunch that you are one of those types that wants to fight your fellow supporters when they dont agree with you...
- The bitter fanI'm quite sad to see him leaving this way.
I'd rather see him swim the channel wearing a concrete beret with a white flag stuck up his arse.
- why yes, yes you will.we'll always be small time.....
Im consoled by the fact this wasn't about going to a bigger English club and it wasn't about getting more money which most of haters on here made it about. We just lost a great opportunity unfortunately....god knows why hes gotta go back to France so bad!!!. I don't like the owners at all, but im not sure they did much wrong in all this. I still reckon the frogs would have stumped up more cash for him, but now theres time and no excuse....if Hogan is up to the job, go get him..we lacked the firepower last year to change games...lets ****ing get on with it.....hes gone, the players have to lift themselves and believe at least 8th is possible...the likes of Snodgrass and Hogan ..this is an amazing opportunity.
cmon west ham onwards and upwards
- Christ on a bike! Batshuayi & Lacazette weren't interested in playing for West Ham even though they were mates with Payet... Well blow me over, don't they know what they missed out on?!you could say we didn't add the right players.
you could also say that none of those players payet considered his peers were interested in coming to play alongside him.
batshuayi had the straight choice and decided he'd rather sit on chelsea's bench than start alongside his former teammate. lacazette was supppsed to be best mates with him but never gave as much as a sniff that he was interested.
- I'm beginning to warm to Payet, he seems to like trolling WHU fansPayet's just posted a picture of his private jet on Twitter with the caption "Returning home".
****hole.
Fonte, Snodgrass and Hogan... and they want to be considered serious challengers for top-4 in the near future?
