As a professional footballer I expect that he believes in his own ability. He was signed by our club and I am sure he expected to do well here.
To be immediately cast aside by RM and then by RK cannot have been east for him. To start the season without a number and a locker must also have been difficult. Neverthe less he played with the under 23s, never complained about not being given a chance, he scored a few goals and was complimented by David Unsworth for his attitude.
Yes, he earns a lot of money, I would guess he was earning a lot of money when he played in Russia.
We made the mistake in signing him, we made the mistake in paying the large fee and we agreed to pay him whatever he was earning.
On a day when you hear that a player like Payet who is extremely well paid and is adored by West Ham fans saying he doesn't want to play for them anymore, I think it is nice to see a player act with dignity...I hope he doesn't spoil it now.
