    Dimi to Marseille loan with option to buy in summer being touted.

    They can't afford £30m now. They're currently the WBA of the French league. They might push to it in the summer and make him their marquee signing.

    I can't believe for one moment that Dimi will be here come Feb.

    It should be a large loan fee with a compulsory purchase if he plays 10 games for them ;whistle
  • SuzanneClaretSuzanneClaret
    I'm not happy to loan him, not happy at all.
  • MoojorMoojor
    How about a £30m loan fee and he never comes back.

    We won't spend the fee we get for him in this window anyway.

    By the time he's gone there'll only be a couple of days left of the window.

    We can wait another 5 months.

    If we can wait, then so can he, and so can they.

    Loaning him means we are the only party who don't get what we want. I see your point, but loaning him essentially means Marseille & Dimi cooked it all up and get their own way.

    They have a billionaire owner, im sure they can afford it. Just trying to take advantage as they know he wants out

    I dont mind him being loaned, but not to Marseilles.

    It means we're not paying 85K per week. Times 20 equals around 1.5million squids in the pocket.

    PLUs, it gives PAyet the chance to shine for Marseilles, leading to the fans demanding he be signed at any cost (mwah ha ha ha!)
  • alderzalderz
    Does it though?

    The man has refused to do his job. Why would we be paying him?
  • secrethammersfansecrethammersfan
    He hasn't refused to do his job. He "got a bit of a bad back". He's showing up for training. He's keeping his side of the deal -legally, if not honourably, and you can be sure it's the minimum needed to get paid -otherwise, he'd already be in Marseilles with his family.
  • alderzalderz
    Has he not said that he has refused to play?

    My view is we should treat him as like a bad injury. If he broke his leg and was out the rest of the season he'd be unavailable and we'd be paying him.

    Guess they won't be signing him then ;lol
  • OldCastleSwiftOldCastleSwift
    I do wonder if this is beginning to impact our incomings ;hmm Did we assume we'd have £30m to play with by now? Fonte was a good (and necessary) signing, but with us seemingly unwilling to match Burnley's offer for Snodgrass and everything going quiet on the Hogan front, I'm starting we're waiting for the money that is currently tied up in Payet
  • SuzanneClaretSuzanneClaret
    I am starting to wonder that too.

    Had Payet been sold already would we have Hogan now?

    Yep it is, IMO

    People mention the 20m we didn't pay Juve for Zaza and we must have that, well that would've been installments.....

    The books come out end of next month, all will be revealed, we lost between 5-10m last season, still have significant debt and owe SUGO 53m now most of it interest bearing (currently 9m rolled up).

    We're effectively still skint. Once we get the extra 35m in TV money May 2018 along with extra ticket money taking our revenue to around 190M then we will start to see some changes in debt owed and players bought/money spent IMO

    It was always a work in progress, some fans out there thought the minute we walked into the LS and then the transfer window opened we were suddenly "rich". (not necessarily on here I might add ;biggrin )

    I don't blame us for not matching Burnley's bid, as I don't think Snodgrass is worth it (personally). The interview with the Brentford boss seems to suggest that the agent is holding up Hogan.

    You could be right with that theory, but I reckon we'll have Hogan in before the City game
  • brookingsironsbrookingsirons
    I would take 25m and move on get this saga over as quick as possible .

    If we weren't at least a little bit liquid in terms of cash, why and how were the Dave's allegedly waving £40m plus in front of Lyon for Lacazette?

    Perhaps it was £1m up front with the rest based on him scoring 30 plus goals a season for 5 seasons on the trot and winning the French presidential election a year later?

    Ha ha that's about the long and short of it barracks....

    Or a bigger payday (soon to be banned)

    At least we tried...
  • ClactoniteClactonite
    Just thinking about the Payet situation and not sure if this has been mentioned but as it's supposedly just about 'family reasons', would Marseille really want to spend £30 million on a player who doesn't really want to play for them and is just there to be close to his family?
  • FlorinRaducliousFlorinRaduclious
    Clacton - it is a point. What if the malaise he feels and (possibly) caused his poor performances for us is a permanent thing? What if he never plays like he did last season ever again? Lost the mojo?

    For me another reason not to loan him. What if he plays dire, nobody will give us a big deal in the summer then.
  • Slaven_Cups_His_BeardSlaven_Cups_His_Beard
    He's going there for the sake of his kids and possibly his partner.....

    Believe that is the family's current location, hence the rumours he'd take a pay cut to make it happen.

    He's just gone about it really really badly as far as we can see, but the details around the family business could be that deep it probably had a lot to do with him going off the rails

    IMO
  • brookingsironsbrookingsirons
    Good Point and yes he has gone about it all the wrong way and no way to pay a club back after the money we paid him last year .

    From a players point of view Wednesday night away at Monaco or Wednesday night
    away to Burnley ;hmm

    Yes I know its a tough choice but one he needs to make ;lol
  • Slaven_Cups_His_BeardSlaven_Cups_His_Beard
    Brooking the "loyalty" payment being banded about is basically his latest deal signing on fee broken down over different periods he doesn't owe us anything because when he was paid that he hadn't effectively downed tools

    :ok
  • PrestonHammerPrestonHammer
    When he does go, I want him to write out a transfer request.
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    I'm sure he'll bear that in mind Preston. ;wink

    26.5m.... Take it.
