It's not exactly working for WHU having him in the team is it? Only Hull have conceded more goals than them and 14 teams have scored more than them! What has been his contribution to the team this season? With his so called world class creativity shouldn't they have scored more?
He looks great on MOTD because it's a highlight show, "we" get to see the highlight, a last minute equaliser against shite oppo. Watch for 90mins, if you can stay awake for that long whilst watching the hammers that is, and all is laid bare to see. For 89 mins he does fuck all.
To watch Lamela press the oppo for 93mins is admirable and is part of our identity, the reason why we are 1 point off top spot and the reason why we were the only team left in the race last year (obviously not the sole reason but using his name as brought up by others as some who they would swap him with). Loose Lamela and swap with Payet and we lose our identity for a high press, is that what people want? Eriksen, whilst not as aggressive as Lamela also puts in a massive shift for a player in his position, often with the highest distance covered than anyone on our team.
Wouldn't want Payet anywhere near our squad, he would suck the oxygen out of the room but most importantly he will single handedly change the entire philosophy of what makes us so good. He would be a burden. May be this season he will just turn into the player that he was prior to last year, the one that absolutely no-one had ever heard of even though he was 28yrs old.
He is a show pony.
