If they sell every bit of belief will fall out of every supporter and the rest of the team.
We have never had a player with that amount of ability with a football, we have had fantastic players, influential players, players that made us better on their own, but no one comes close to what he can do with a football and that anticipation he provides you as a fan.
I am aware he could try and force a move but I am hoping he is not the type and would at least say I will give you next season, and if my ambitions do not look like being realised here then let me go.
Also having him and his exposure at this tournament will help our recruitment enormously !
It's not just the goal, it's the whole performance. This french team are joint favourites with Germany to win this and everyone is gushing over how strong their team is
World record bids for Griezmann and Pogba are always being mentioned and both are seen as top 10 players in the world, add the hugely impressive Kante, Matuidi and the wonder kids Martial and Coman......but it was our man Payet who made them tick, he controlled that game and was the best player on the pitch be for the goal
He's just beyond quality, so proud to have hin at our team we'd be fools to cash in he's simply irreplaceable and he's the star we can build around and use his name to convince elite strikers to join us as any striker who plays with payet will be a happy striker
I think we could easily get £50m for him.
I really hope he stays as he is the best player (skills wise) that I can remember playing for us, but, right now he is one of the best players in Europe, never mind the PL IMO.
The Daves had been reported they valued him at 50-60m we'll last nights performance on the opening game stage with that goal possibly added a few more million
60+ for a 29 year old who all of a sudden found his feet big time in the last 12 months? That would suggest the game has gone to a new level of crazy. MUFC paid 24m for a 29 year old RVP and that was considered top whack for a geezer that had been doing it consistently for a period of time. The only thing with Payet is he won't get much slower over the next 3-4 years because his game isn't built on pace, that is a possible factor but there would be next to nothing in terms of sell on for any of the big boys and they don't normally operate that way.
I also think the lad genuinely likes it at our club, he's gone from a decent player to known all round the world very quickly and that emotion came through when subbed last night.
For me he will be with us at the start of next season and will want to see how far we can go first and if he can be part of something major in the PL, it depends if we continue to progress as to whether he stays.
You and those Jan windows eh?
Payet had only just come back from injury nobody knew we'd still go on a tear up or how it would pan out, also we'd just spent the most ever in a window in the summer 35-40m not bad for a club that technically is still 100m in debt. We've got bills to pay and things to sort out, plus we were Max'd out with FFP and we didn't exactly get the tub of the green plus we made a number of mistakes ourselves.
We may of finished 7th but top 4 was very possible until right at the end. Also Slav made a couple of mistakes (not knocking him, he's been brilliant and stil learning)
Plenty of games he drifted out of then he pulled out a single magic
Moment, some clubs want more.
The Daves will know they have him tied down they call the shots they just have to keep Dimi happy which they are doing with little things like the shirt at the OS, he will become one of the major poster boys of the PL now and the spin offs from that are massive, they don't have to sell him and in 6 months time we won't need the money either.
He's already on up to 125k a week for a guaranteed 5+ years very few players earn much much more than that and most were a few years younger when they did
I'm confident he'll be kicking off at the OS in claret and blue
;ok
That's why we bought him . Look at his stats the season before we bought him.
Some clubs want more?? What more can you want from a player ? Did you not watch the game last night ?
Payet is currently one of the top three players in the world without doubt.
Yes of course I watched it (are you sure?) however perhaps you have misunderstood my comment or I wasn't clear?
When I say they want more they want some kind of resale and they want top performances every week for 60m, last season he had a number of poor games then he would pull out a special moment.
Why can't we just revel in the joy of him.
I think some people don't understand...
Overseas it's known as the 'English Condition' - When anything good comes along or happens, we just have to keep knocking it until it falls over, thereby fulfilling the doom and gloom predictions.
Need to sell Payet: none
Reasons to give in if (unlikely, imo) Payet tried to force a move: none
Chances of us losing Payet: none
And also how refreshing having a manager that is proving himself cool as a cucumber ;scarf
