No words.
Spineless and unprofessional, just like Angel Di Maria. Good riddance, West Ham fans, you guys ain't gonna miss him.
It may sound like sour grapes but I would legitimately rather have lost Payet than probably 3 other players at our club; Lanzini, Cresswell and Antonio are all more valuable to us long-term.
I've said it before but we treat even semi-decent players that show loyalty like absolute Gods (see: Sébastian Schemmel, Luděk Mikloko, Danny Gabbidon, Matty Etherington, etc.). Payet's taken a supposed pay-cut and alienated himself from a fanbase that adored him for what to live in fucking Marseille?
We bought a 27 year old for £10m and sold him for £25m 18 months later. In this window, we're positive £7m and Snodgrass & Fonte and negative one crybaby, work-shy snake. We may have lost out on a possible club legend but, let's be real, Payet's the loser here.
What's wrong with putting the happiness of his family first?

Also, source just so folks know it ain't fake ~ http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/38675958
Mou might have regained some sense in Basti as well

I never post fake news. Alternative Facts maybe.
Glad Basti will get a bit more time, sad that he was behind Depay and Schniderlin in the pecking order for the Europa squad but I can kind of understand it.
Hopefully his time with the kids will at least have showed them what a consummate professional behaves like which things aren't going quite right.

Like Arsenal/Liverpool winning the league? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Bayern legend.
Another 6 months in London on £125k a week would've killed them? Nope. Didn't turn down that million pound loyalty bonus we gave him a few months back and say he'd rather the club found him a move back to France, did he? Nope.
We worshipped Payet so why not make a genuine statement about being homesick and say sorry? Make an actual effort to explain yourself and we probably would've understood. Why sulk like a brat and say nothing? It's the downing tools at what is a club for the working class man and woman that's completely spineless. The family excuse is weak, they weren't exactly camped out in Beirut, and because Payet never communicated with the fans it's still only a rumour.
To be honest, I'm surprised Marseille have given him a deal longer than 2 or 3 years given his track record with loyalty. Glad we've agreed a 25% sell-on clause because I wouldn't be shocked if he's sulking again in 12 months time when some Chinese club show some interest.
How did he play for Bayern?
@BBCSport
They had Andre Ayew last season.
Now Swansea are about to sign his brother.

And there it is. Wolves have absolutely smashed their transfer record to buy Helder Costa for £13m. Four and a half yr contract. Incredible
@dpcoverdale
Understand #hcafc have now accepted a £10m bid from #twitterclarets for Andy Robertson, but won't sell until another left-back lined up.

He played like two games or so. :lol
Ulloa is doing a Payet. Apparently he wanted to move to Sunderland?

I guess this is how you get out of multi million pound contracts now.

Swansea City are signing Aston Villa forward Jordan Ayew in a deal which will see Wales international Neil Taylor go the other way.
Head coach Paul Clement expects the deal will be concluded on Tuesday with Swansea paying up to £5m - plus Taylor - for the Ghana international.

Do the teams still get a share of the gate in the FA cup?
Part of me hopes both Lincoln and Sutton get each other just to guarantee one gets through, the other hopes they each get United or Arsenal or something just for the gate money at those grounds.

Yeah they get 45%-45%. If it gets shown on live TV that is where they get the real money.

Why can't sakho and klopp just get along, back to old times. Shouldn't have to leave :'(
For £20m I would personally deliver Sakho to Big Sam's house. It seems like a robbery for a player that isn't playing at all.
Sounds like we are on the verge of signing Rhodes.
For context, he scored 4 goals against us in one match in 2011 and we've been linked with him in literally EVERY transfer window since. It's been fucking agonising. This January's thread about him on our forums is on page 253.
Still don't believe it but I'll fap if it goes through.

As a player maybe not. If he can get them a few key goals and keep them up? Worth far more.
Honestly what does "worth" in football mean anymore.
Sunderland could go down and end up paying more than that for Championship strikers.
Villa are paying £15m for Scott Hogan (after paying over £30m for Kodjia and McCormack in the summer)

Sky Sources: Sheffield Wednesday & Middlesbrough have agreed a fee of around of £10m for Jordan Rhodes. Player having medical. #SWFC #MFC
@OptaJoe
91 - Jordan Rhodes has scored 91 league goals since August 2012; the most of any player in England's top four tiers. Need.

That's Sunderland's problem. They spend far too much on 'maybes'. Some pay off, like Defoe, but they've been terrible in the transfer market for years.

Forever a Championship player.
Championship teams are spending ridiculously this window. Norwich paying Wigan £7m for Wildschut? Mental.
Mind you, it could be worse. They could've signed Steven fucking Taylor for nothing.

I hope Can shows up today. We need to start firing again. And maybe get a Mane banger off the bench.

Come on Liverpool, I know Chelsea are going to win the league but I'd prefer the north west sides to keep the pressure on Tottenham and Arsenal.
