West Ham vice chairman Karren Brady attempted to brighten the mood around the London stadium Monday morning, dropping one tweet that would be sure to bring a smile to many Hammers fans.

Lady Brady announced that fans can take back their Dimitri Payet replica shirts to the club shop and get a new replacement for £25.

Not bad considering a new adult shirt costs £55 at regular price.

This comes following the transfer of French international Payet to Marseille in a £25-million move that was completed Sunday night.

The move put the lid on a tumultuous period for Payet, who fell out of favour under boss Slaven Bilic and had not played a full 90 minutes for the Hammers since Jan. 2 despite being fully fit.

Although Bilic recently claimed that Payet had refused to play for West Ham, the 29-year old was once popular among the faithful for his spectacular free-kicks and pinpoint passing ability.

The attacking midfielder scored 15 goals in 50 appearances for the Hammers, and he revealed his fate when he posted a a tweet of the plane that he was taking to Marseille, the caption reading: "We're going back home."

This move back home comes after West Ham co-chairman David Sullivan recently criticized the player for not showing the club the levels of commitment and respect that it deserves.
