And, we're off.....2016/17

[richy]

Payet is behaving like a complete knob,but football is full of them.
Wonder if West Ham/Billic would have a problem with it if one of their targets behaved like this to force a move.

I think he has previous so in a way they knew what was they were getting.

Still doesn't make it any better for the fans.

It's pathetic mate,but hardly surprising.
Too many Diva's in the game now.

As much as I'd like West Ham to stand strong and back the manager's decision to rot, and he's not allowed anywhere near the first team at the moment, it's a business and sooner or later they'll have to cut their losses and move him on. Not sure who'll take him but you wouldn't bet against Payet doing it again

Allegedly he's refused to play for West Ham, I wonder if he still expects to be paid by West Ham?

There's ways of getting a move, refusing to play is shysters way about it.

Exactly. Surely if he's refusing to play then he's in breach of his contract therefore doesn't deserve paying?

I shouldn't think so its a clear breach of contract. He'll be gone by the end of this window its just a matter of where. His antics though will put a lot of managers off that's for sure.

I can only think of one club in England that would take him no questions asked.

He wouldn't go to Everton

I have not read any stories about what has been said but these situations can also be 2 sided.

I have read loads of stories where players have fallen out of favour with the manager and have also been left to rot either with the reserves or on the bench with no chance of getting on the field.

It seems to me that clubs can ruin a players career but a player cant move on.

Do we really know the whole story.

I don't see much difference to what Sanchez is doing at Arsenal where he doesn't think the players around him or the training is good enough or hard enough so will probably move on because he feels he cant win things with Arsenal.

Ozil has said I believe that he wont sign a new contract until he knows Arsene Wengers future well does he want to continue playing for Arsenal or not.

Maybe Payet is going about it the wrong way but these players have advisors also.

I cant remember one player that has been left to rot for too long when they are a valuable asset they are always sold on.

Of course Payet has not damaged his reputation loads of players have done a lot worse and been bought for massive fees.

Everton just had to go and ruin it by giving Schneiderlin number 2 didn't they. That number should have been retired when the great man left.

If Sanchez wants to move on then I can't see the problem?
Has he refused to play?

No but there are many ways to get a move.

I read that Sanchez has questioned the fitness of other squad members and obviously Wengers training methods this can also be very damaging.

As I stated usually two side to all stories and there is too much speculation surrounding this story[probably].

Yeah,tbf people believe what they want to believe.

If a player wants a move they should hand in a transfer request,if the club says no Then that should be the end of it.

But if you were a player at a mid table team with no chance of winning anything,
& one of the Big boys come in for you & offered you a big increase in pay what would you do?

I don't think Sanchez is a bad egg at all, I prefer to believe that his passion to do well and cant stand losing attitude got the better of him. You can see how hard he tries on the pitch and even plays when he's not 100% or when he just got back from Chile. Plenty of evidence to suggest that he is nothing but highly motivated.

I agree I don't think he is either but he has done some damage by even questioning it.

I just think now he doesn't believe his team mates are good enough to get him where he wants to go.

Hardly surprising that's how he feels considering the club he left.

Ha ha. I got it 🙋. At least he stayed within 1-11. Old school.

If he said that at all then it was probably designed to get a positive reaction IMO.

Do you not think it's a bit disrespectful to question your team mates fitness in public?

What did you read and where?

 

[Liverbirdie]

Payet would improve Arsenal.

Player/manager?

Could just work.
