    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...

    Sell for the good of the team we could get two three extra places in league which would cover the difference in money
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    But we don't know the intricacies of the deal such as add ons, sell on etc.
    We won't be far short of £30m imo.
  • OldCastleSwiftOldCastleSwift
    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?

    And in loafers too.....

    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 am really pleased (if a little surprised) at the clubs stance to date.

    "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?

    Exactly that Suze ;ok There's principles, and I admire that, but I see no benefit if it ends up costing us £28m

    What's 4 million among friends....

    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.

    So push back on Dimi and say, you put in a Transfer request so no cut for you and we'll agree. Otherwise you are stating put ...

    The "loyalty bonus" still rankles ...

    If we take below £30m, I hope the club stick in a punitive sell-on clause.
  • MunichHammerMunichHammer
    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.
  • Tomw85Tomw85
    Munich, don't forget we only paid them 10m for him and we have got his best ever season out of him. If anyone has had their pockets picked it is OM.

    SSN reporting we've agreed a deal to sell him and he's on his way for a medical
  • SuzanneClaretSuzanneClaret
    He better pass it.
  • MunichHammerMunichHammer
    He's got a bad back, there's no way he will pass the medical. ;yercoat
  • SuzanneClaretSuzanneClaret
    I'll venture that on his away across the Chanel it makes a miraculous recovery ;biggrin
  • YeoldhammerYeoldhammer
    I guess this will signal the Hogan deal to be completed after. Probably a Deadlineday thing for the drama the Daves like.

    It's for the best.

    Just a shame we went from he's 'not for sale - full stop' to caving in just before the close.
  • OldCastleSwiftOldCastleSwift
    I don't think we've caved.

    I think we've been pragmatic.

    We could not have kept him though, could we Luke.

    I think the club made a stand but there is no point cutting offf your nose to spite your face.

    This is the Sky who said agreement was miles away only yesterday?

    Bloke on KUMB said agreement was reached Friday and it's around £23m.

    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.

    After meeting with Marseille manager Rudi Garcia, reported Manchester United target Lassana Diarra has refused to play for the club this month. (L’Equipe)
