Bilic just had a presser and has stated categorically that we won't sell him.
And he expects him to return to the club with a better attitude.
Kinda torn, on one hand I say the **** him, wreck his career and let him rot out the next 5 years of his contract.
But also, that China money. If Oscar goes for $60m, Payet is worth at least $80m over there.
Really weak by Payet but he knows West Ham will have to cave in. Clubs can't afford to have players on their books that refuse to play
Didn't he extend his contract last season?
Not sure if he extended it. But signed a new improved 5 year deal.
It's starting to come out that he's been trouble all season. Missing trainings, big timing other players, refusing to talk to people. But Bilic kept sticking by him, supporting him and trying to work it out.
Now he's refusing to show up.
Starts to make sense why the same squad as last year has been so terrible. Only takes one bad apple to wreck the team chemistry. And we've had two with him and Diafra Sakho.
Hoping him not being around now might give a change of manager type boost to the squad. Get them playing for each other again. Cos that's been the most disappointing thing, how we've just given up in games. Payet being the main guy who's stopped trying.
