Mad Dog: West Ham players would love to pin Payet up against wall

Former West Ham midfielder Martin Allen says Dimitri Payet is fortunate no teammate has confronted him about his strike.

Allen, who played 190 games for the club, is disgusted by Payet's behaviour and reckons he should have been sold as quickly as possible.

Allen said: “Payet doesn't give a toss about the club or his team-mates. His awful displays have been jeopardising their careers. It's their living and he's disrupting their livelihood to get a move, which could relegate the club.

“I'd imagine his team-mates would love to pin him up against a wall and have it out with him. It's particularly disappointing because he received a £1m loyalty bonus last September.

“The players would have known what he was planning a long time ago. They would have noticed his body language in matches and training, how he was not tracking back, not listening to the manager, the tell-tale signs."
