 definitely the most skilful and most talented player we have ever had.
Not more than Di Canio for me, close but he is the most skillful we have ever had. Savio 3rd.
 
 
Nah, obviously PDC's WH career was way better than Payet's, but if you're talking about sheer ability then Payet was the better player. Payet lit up a Euro's, PDC never come anywhere close to that level.

I forgot about Savio, I’ll change my decision now 😊

Never said top, I reserve that for Bonds and Brooking, but definitely the most skilful and most talented player we have ever had.

Up there with Devonshire for me, that season we had him was one of the most joyous ones of my 51 years of following this club and any cսnt who downplays it clearly never watched him play.

38 apps with 8 goals in the French national team but yeah he was fucking useless.
38 international appearances for a supposed world class player 🤔

Had a good season for us, was otherwise a decent player in the French league.

There's a reason only Marseille were in for him when he threw his toys out the pram.

Had a look. You're talking shit again.
Being decent in the French league doesn't equal a good season.

Most exciting player we've had by far in the past decade. At his best he was absolute world class and you almost wondered what he was doing here. At his worst (in the first season in the bowl) he was a disgrace.

Every time he was stood over a free kick you thought it was going in. Every time you needed a bit of magic, just like Di Canio, he seemed able to produce some.

Love a fucking maverick.

If you couldn't enjoy Payet for what he did, then football isn't for you.

In that 2015/16 season I always felt that in every game we had the most talented player on the pitch
Not often that has occurred if at all in living memory 
Briiliantly talented and probably our best ever free kick taker 

Not the same when we left UP & another reason why the move has killed the club
After that season and the Euros there was talk of Real Madrid being interested. I imagine they thought we can’t ‘progress’ by moving & then sell our best player

A lot of modern football can be boring and moribund at times. He was anything but. Just general excitement whenever he was on the ball. It felt like watching football as a kid again. 

Thank you Dimitri son. 
I did the same at N17 when Ravel Morrison scored a peach of a goal.

The Boleyn's pitch was smaller so they didn't have to run around as much, Soucek would have been in his element at Upton Park! 😂
