The truth is you can still buy replica Payet items from the official West Ham store following his controversial £25million move back to Marseille.
Once upon a time you could purchase his No 27 shirt, scarf and mug with his name on it.
Now you can still get a Payet T-shirt at a knockdown £3 instead of its original £20 price tag.
And there is also Payet's 2016/17 signed and framed shirt, yours for only £150 instead of £350.

Since the grumbling, mumbling and general un-co-operative Payet left the Hammers their form has taken a marked upturn.
And West Ham legend Geoff Hurst agrees they are better off without him.
He said: “It always looked like they’d get £25m for him, that’s not too bad a deal at all considering we paid £10million for him. More importantly the unity of the team has proven the most important thing.
“In one sense it’s sad to lose him but no matter how good you are if you behave like a prima donna and don’t want to play [it’s no great loss]."
