Blue-in-me-Veins 4,067 Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 So happy for him man.. Always root for players that bloom late in their career. Nearly single handedly carried Marsielle to a UCL spot two seasons ago.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 18,994 Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 It's not like his game relies on pace or running, either. Even at 29 a player with his skill set should be able to play at this level for several more years. As he gets older he could also just move deep in midfield and play the Pirlo or Xabi Alonso role. Don't think it's possible for any club to sign him. Well, I should say any Premier League club. Only ourselves and United need a player in his position and I can't see West Ham selling him to either of us. How bad would it look for them to sell their talisman and poster boy when they're trying to show their ambition with the new stadium and higher investment? No chance. If PSG or Real Madrid were to come in with a massive bid I highly doubt he'd say no. West Ham would reluctantly sell to them I'd think if Payet pushed for it.

Fernando 6,602 Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 We should go for him. He wants to move, is a good player and won't cost an arm. Sure hes older, but hes a late bloomer like Drogba. Would be an easy buy this January and he will help us great to secure the tittle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read that Payet is available at £15m if West ham get relegated this season http://metro.co.uk/2016/12/10/arsenal-and-manchester-united-target-dimitri-payet-available-for-15m-if-west-ham-are-relegated-6313295/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unionjack 7,531 Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 I wouldn't take him unless he was cheap and low wages/ We are in the process of getting our age average down now. Getting the players ages down means trhey can stay together longer. Getting stronger together. Ruling Europe longer together!! Odds slashed; bookies install Chelsea as new favourites in race to sign West Ham man http://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2016/12/27/odds-slashed-bookies-install-chelsea-as-new-favourites-in-race-t/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jernej93 569 Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 I would rather go for someone younger Mahrez, Lemar, Bernardeschi, Felipe Anderson, Bernardo Silva ... We can search for better deal in the summer because Pedro is doing a great job at RW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I realy like his play style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 18,994 Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 He's nearly 30 and would be the ultimate luxury player with no defined position in Conte's setup. Makes no sense. Only place I could imagine him playing would be the Fabregas role deeper in midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is just another lazy media link since West Ham have an interest in Batshuayi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Colored Sky 1,807 Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Payet, Hazard, Diego is a brutal idea. Keeping possession galore! Remember when we couldn't deal with any kind of pressing and just look lost? Or couldn't create anything against relegation battlers? And here's the player who excels in chances creation and keeping possession under pressure like it's nothing. We'd sign a title if we sign him. Not happening because we want to do this hard way. Also Chelsea don't overpay for players and surely not at this stage in player's career. Shame because we really can seal the title this winter. So far we do anything but. Can't wait when we lose to Liverpool and be (almost) level on points with few hours of the window left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akgw13 867 Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Anything under 25M and send Bats or RLC for a loan and id do the deal. His age is an issue but a front 3 of hazard,Diego, and Payet interchanging would be so deadly. Yes he is older than a normal target but for the next 2-3 years he will be a top player. That is good enough for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
