But you don't want a buyout figure as someone may meet it and then you are in trouble. With no buyout figure they would have to pay what you want or we don't sell.
We had him until age 32-33 what have we got him until now? Or may be we have put in a buy out clause in case at age 30 someone wants to pay us 70m for him.
Hoping we haven't made a massive over reaction to some good recent form.
I dont think it is an over reaction. Without Payet this season I would guess that we could be a few positions lower in the league. We bought him for a very good price and he is our best current player and in my eyes the best player we have had since Di Canio.
Today’s news means Mark Noble, Winston Reid, Diafra Sakho, Aaron Cresswell, James Tomkins, Adrian, James Collins and now Dimi have all signed new long-term contracts in the past year – all confirmation that we want to keep our best players here for as long as possible.
In line with our policy, a few other key players might be similarly rewarded in the next six months, so keep an eye on whufc.com and our social media channels for the big announcements!
And from Dimi:
"For me it's a big step, an enormous show of faith, particularly from the Chairman [David] Sullivan and from the manager," said the popular No27. "I thank them for that, and I am proud and I'm happy to prolong the adventure with West Ham.
Only kidding, you can see he's trying but you can also see he's struggling being the centre of our creativeness and can imagine he'll be the happiest man to see Lanzini alongside him
