I feel like if it's the case Dimi gets everything he wanted.. Saying that we are getting rid of a problem.... Pity that no other French team came in for him, but I'd be content on the deal just to get rid...
Munich - so what's the alternative? If no-one bids £30m then we keep him for five years, paying him £100k a week for having a kick about with the U23s?
I guess this is why Payet never really moved to a better club was that at his age he wouldn't have a huge resale value
Yes in new todays market £30mil is a rip off but he is turning 30 soon so is only going to get worse so selling him for £28mil may be best case for everyone even if I don't think Hogan + Snodgrass are worth one Payet but if he's not gonna play te we must make a bad situation as good as possible
I think 30m was already at the bottom of our valuation and if we look at what we are being asked to pay for people then surely 30m for Payet is more than reasonable. It appears they have made him their marquee target so will not want to leave him behind so in my view hold your nerve Daves and get your 30m late on the final day.
If we take less than 30m pounds (certainly not euros) then I'd feel as if OM picked our pockets. They will probably feel delighted if they can get him for anything below 35m.
If he does go and indeed for a figure well below £30m - I don't think you truly can say the club have made any sort of a stand. Dropping him and making him train with the reserves is not making a stand IMO. The definition of making a stand is what WBA did with Saido (IMO).
All the Dave's have done is enter into intense haggling.
I'm not knocking them because there are probably rights and wrongs whichever way they go with this. They are really between a rock and a hard place.

We won't be far short of £30m imo.

"We don't want to sell him so if you want him you have to stump up 30mil".
Sticking to that must have been hard as clubs never really win anymore if a player wants out.
I'm proud of the DDs but are we now moving into the cut ya nose of to spite your face territory?
The "loyalty bonus" still rankles ...
It's nearly time ;wahoo
Just a shame we went from he's 'not for sale - full stop' to caving in just before the close.
I think we've been pragmatic.
I think the club made a stand but there is no point cutting offf your nose to spite your face.
Bloke on KUMB said agreement was reached Friday and it's around £23m.
