Let's All Laugh At... Let's All Laugh At West Ham

[CowInAComa]

"Playing at home in London Stadium can't be much fun when your fans are so far away they feel as though they are watching the game from the car park. Nevertheless, the Hammers did actually manage to muster some atmosphere in this makeshift football graveyard"

Garth Crooks joining in the thread (from his team of the week)

How sweet, but then again, we don't know what kind of depraved filth she was searching for.

With a number of top Premier League players holding clubs to ransom is it time to close the January transfer window? dg

So glad we don't have a chairman with a Twitter presence. So small time.

He's like an east end trump. Flaming dumpster of incompetence...

I would laugh my nuts off if they play Levy hardball to drive up the price and then Marseille say bugger that and pull out altogether - the spanners left with a pissed off player that won't play for them and no one wants to buy due to his naff attitude!

The Guardian posted this story yesterday - I didn't know Fergie had said this! I've often wondered the same.

I'd put it in the same bracket of the "theatre of dreams"

We should sign him.

And only ever play him against West Ham.

Possibly one of the funniest posts I've ever had the pleasure of rating as funny on this here community.

Felt sorry for Billic yesterday watching the presser- a decent guy who has been badly let down.

From The Guardian's Said and Done:

Stand of the week
Slaven Bilic – “let down and angry” with Dimitri Payet trying to leave West Ham: “He’s our best player and that’s why we gave him a long contract. We gave him everything, we were always there for him. I expect him to show commitment.”

(March 1997 – Harry Redknapp reveals he’s “bitter and angry “ with Slaven Bilic trying to leave West Ham: “He’s on a fantastic contract, the highest paid player in the club’s history. He signed it … Now he wants a move and feels Everton are a big club, so there’s nothing we can do. West Ham are a big club in our eyes, but he feels otherwise.” Bilic: “I had to do this. We are professionals – all players know, if anyone gets the chance of a big club, he must take it.”)

edit: just saw it was already posted. should check next time

Why does he want to leave?
French journalist Julien Laurens on 5 live's Monday Night Club
In 2011, when he was at Saint-Etienne, he wanted to go to Paris St-Germain, which was his dream move. He tried everything again to force them to sell him.
The club stood their ground - he had to go with the reserves, they fined him. In the end, he had to come back and he apologised and said: 'I have made a mistake, I'm young.' He is a very stubborn man and at the time it didn't work out for him, but he really believes this time it will happen for him.
Eighteen months ago Payet did not want to leave Marseille. They forced him to leave in a way, because they had to sell him to balance their books. He never really settled in England.
His family are not settled, the children are not happy at school, his wife is not happy. They all went back to France and are already looking at new schools there. The main issue for him has always been the family. They were not happy and that was impacting on him as a person and as a player.
Payet will take a cut out to go back to Marseille, it is not about the money. He is not going to China. Marseille have already reached an agreement to go back, now it is between the clubs.
Marseille's second offer is clearly way below what West Ham want, but at least they are opening the door. Three days ago they said they would never sell him, now they say they would sell him if they receive £30-35m pounds. I expect Marseille to go back with a better bid and still believe they will sell at some point.

heard a classic this morning on talksport. old Brazil had Arry on the phone talking about Payet.

then he mentioned something about his holiday in the summer. he met a friend that's in the racing industry, and they had just bought a new horse and have named it?






















"We got Payet"

I heard that story

Harry said he told him if Payet has a good Euros and West Ham struggle early doors he'd need to change the horses name to "We HAD Payet"

This was kind of the reason i was told he wanted to go back to Marseille in that he's family had moved back but the reason involved a third party which made the wife "not happy" and i was also told this isnt just happening this goes back to the summer.

Just what i was told.

The thing is it's Marseille or bust because he needs to go where his family is so he won't even consider other clubs.

IMO.... I think it's West Ham's fault that Payet hasn't settle in London. I am sure most clubs go out of their way to make sure the players families are taken care of. But well... Guess there were more important things like the stadium. And special edition FA cup shirts.

I really hope this drags on for the whole window, then Marseille comes with one final offer, and it gets rejected and Payet has to sulk for half a season...

No one you know ... or they would have told you.

Aye, people these days are right nosey shites.
