Payet signing official.

I think the answer they need to sell, but they also need to make out to their own fans that it was forced on them.

Tomkins, I'll spell this out for you.

The player had a meeting with his club, they agreed he would stay.
He then entered discussions with West Ham without the consent of Marseille.
He then demanded more money and told them West Ham were willing to offer more.
Marseille can't afford it. He demanded a move.
Marseille felt they had no choice but to accept.
Marseille still hope to persuade him to stay.

If I were the president of Marseille I'd report West Ham to UEFA for tapping the player up.

So first of all you accuse the player and now it is West hams fault?

Make your mind up

I think I'm apportioning the blame equally to be honest.

Are you suggesting either party has acted appropriately?

It's hard to name any transfer which is proper these days.

Agents make friends with the owners and wore their players out. This is hardly opening a can of worms

That doesn't make it right.

Poor man`s Ryan Babel

Excellent signing and West Ham conducted themselves appropriately, IvanGolacIsMagic doesn't know what he's talking about.
