Rio tells it as it is

Heard Rio on talks**te this morning and when asked for his thoughts on the payet situation he said bluntly if he was in charge then he would let him rot in the reserves...no player can be bigger than any football club the club never created this situation it is one of his own making and saying you'll only play for one club who clearly don't have the money to buy him well that's his problem not the clubs...well said mr Ferdinand well said indeed

so looks like we've been 'outbid' by Burnley. they have had an offer of 10 mill accepted. Were we really serious about signing him? With Payet gone i believe he would have been a good signing but as usual we wouldn't stump up the cash. can't believe Burnley were prepared to go further than us on this one.
Palace To Make Bid For Hammers Keeper
Crystal Palace manager Sam Allardyce has made enquiries about taking West Ham United's current second choice goal keeper, Adrian Saint Miguel, on loan until the end of the season. Allardyce, who bought Adrian to West Ham while he was manager, is keen to shore up his leaky defence and sees the Spain reserve goalkeeper as a good start in his campaign to restore strength at the back. It is thought the deal being pursued could be with an arrangement to make the move permanent at the end of the season, which might suit both parties given Hammers interest in bringing Manchester City and England goal keeper Joe Hart to the club following his loan spell in Italy. Allardyce is definitely a fan of Adrian, but whether Slaven Billic is prepared to let him go out on loan is another matter, however as it is a goal keeper deal it is possible to structure an 'emergency re-call' clause which would cover the eventuality of an injury or sudden loss of form to current goal keeping incumbent Darren Randolph. There has been a fair amount of interest in Adrian from Spain and Italy, but it is believed he would prefer to stay in the Barclays Premier League where the pay is much better! The player will be mindful of dropping down the pecking order at The London Stadium with Randolph in imperious form and not looking likely to be dispossessed of the keepers jersey, there is also the impending arrival of Joe Hart looming in the distance to take in to consideration. If Adrian does leave the club, he will be missed but remembered for some really good times, his bubbly personality made him a crowd favourite and their good wishes for the future will accompany him where ever he goes. Is Rafael Spiegel up to the task of being number 2 keeper? Not on the evidence of his brief 1st team outings, and it would be so West Ham for Randolph to get injured or red carded as soon as Adrian went out the door, so the onus would be considerable on the Swiss youngster, but he is an International and has performed well for the Youth team so why not? - Ed
Put it in contracts

payet is not the first and won't be the last. pampered multi millionaire who thinks his station in life as someone who kicks a ball around a field for 90 mins a week somehow makes him entitled to act like a complete prat to get whatever it is he wants and when he wants it. I've heard he's 'homesick'…his wife can't settle….its all crap. some people are stranded a world away from their loved ones working 24/7 just to stay afloat. payet as ashes said on the main thread is an hour flight away and can afford a private jet there and back ffs. he has more spare time than a retired person. as for his wife's side of the story…its utterly pathetic. we had the same with behrami. these wives live in unlimited luxury. you mean to tell me she can't settle wherever her husband is for two or three years even if she can fly home anytime she wants? they all must think we are utter fools who will believe that their precious lifestyle needs are anything other than whinging, childish, unprofessional and selfish. men work on oil rigs for months at at time, truck drivers are away from home constantly….do they have hissy fits with their bosses ? no of course not as they can't and even if they could they appreciate the fact they have a job. i say that clubs around the world should put an end to it by putting clauses in their contracts that say any player refusing to play, making excuses that are not in line with what the club accepts, and any player trying to instigate his own transfer out of a club when under contract should face severe punishment i.e. huge fines and being banned from playing in the first team. as it is now payet is laughing all the way to the bank knowing he still cashes his cheques of 120,00 a week and doesnt need to lift a finger. well i;ll lift a finger….right here…up yours mate.
What a difference a game (or two) makes
Forums:
Only a couple of games ago and Slaven Bilic was reportedly (by the media) under immense pressure regards his position as Hammers boss and had matches v Palace and Boro to save his job. Well a convincing 3-0 home win v Palace and 3-1 away victory over Boro now sees The Hammers in 10th place (on goal difference) on 28 points currently 12 pts above the bottom 3 surely should dispel any thoughts that The Croatian's position is under threat. The last two performances though a tad disjointed have produced a rejuvenated West Ham with renewed belief certainly look more settled and seem to have a willingness not only to work for each other but for their manager. I hope Slav get's the credit he deserves.
