They must be playing that game, ‘If he’s worth X amount, then he’s worth X amount.’
It can be the only logical explanation for West Ham pricing Dimitri Payet as the most expensive footballer on the planet.
David Sullivan says that the Frenchman – who was included in UEFA’s team of the tournament – is worth £100m. Of real money. Not even accounting for expected Brexit inflation yet.
“If you think about it, the £80 million-£85 million for the Gareth Bales and Ronaldos, it’s all a bit historical now,” the West Ham chairman told the Mirror.
“There is a lot more money around now than there was then, so you have got to assume that those fees are going to be smashed to bits.”
Even by a 29-year-old.
“Payet is not for sale,” he said. “Just because a big club wants him, tough luck. He is worth £100m. Even at his age.”
Let’s see if we can do this.
If Ashley Westwood is worth £6m, then Jeff Hendrick is worth £12m.

If Jeff Hendrick is worth £12m, then Paul Pogba is worth… hang on.
If Paul Pogba is worth £80 million than Jeff Hendrick is worth £90 million. #IrishPirlo #FRAvROI

Right, now we’re getting somewhere.
If Paul Pogba is worth £100m, Payet is worth at least £50m. #premierleague #WHUFC #MUFC
