There has been a number of transfers by West Ham in recent seasons that have ended up seeing the players in question be dubbed flops and one of those has hit out at the Hammers with his latest comments.
Former West Ham midfielder Diego Poyet now plies his trade in Cyprus with Pafos FC and has got his career back-on-track after a disappointing time in east London, where he claims he was made to feel like an ‘unwanted pest’.
Speaking to Sky Sports, the 23-year-old said:
“I was being patient, I showed I wanted to be there but when we went out of Europe, Bilic was honest with me and said my chances would be limited and if I wanted to go out on loan I should just go. A lot of people would have stayed but I get frustrated very easily so if the manager says that to me, I feel like there’s no real way of winning someone’s trust back.”
“I rang my agent, I told him to get me out of there. I didn’t want to be somewhere I wasn’t wanted. I was made to feel like a pest – I would turn up to training and I would know the staff didn’t want me there. I’d go into training and no matter how well I did there was no reward.”
Poyet made just ten senior appearances during a two-year spell with West Ham.
