Really hope we leave this one alone, he’s on the decline. Hope it’s just the Moyes link and nothing more. Need younger, faster more mobile midfielders who can actually use a football properly. We’ve signed some really good footballers this...

Actual speed isn't really that relevant. We've all seen these lists our the quickest footballers, but to even come close to your max speed you'll need to run 20-30 meters in a straight line without the ball or opponents around you. That's why...

I agree with this ,apart from the Championship being preferable. Away from the clutch of top clubs the Championship is overrated and is largely a league of ‘cloggers’. The gap between the bulk of that league and the PL gets wider every season...

Terrible idea to send him to a no mark league. He does well there then so what its a no mark league it means nothing. He does poorly there then he's not good enough for a no mark league. He should be going to the championship at the minimum...

I would prefer a DM with more technical ability , being a DM and being able to progress the ball are not mutually exclusive.

Not for me I’m afraid. His signing would potentially negate much of the good work we have done in this window. Especially if he becomes a starter. His limitations in possession could reduce the time our more creative players have the ball. While...

The so-called lack of pace is 95% due to formation and tactics. No transfer in the world can fix that.

He is still class, so why wouldnt he?

Strange one. First to admit that I haven't seen him play for Lyon, but there are reasons why he play there. As far as I remember he was pretty poor for a relegated Southampton team last he played in England. Never much interest for him even as a...

Always thought Soucek is more of CB than a midfielder. Certainly his main attributes are better suited to an old style CB, even his ability to score occasionally. I think if we played Keane in the position Soucek would occupy you’d get similar...

They can afford to sign a player like that and let his contract burn down, we can't that's the difference. He is also the wrong profile of player we need. We need a midfielder who can do actual midfield stuff, that's not Soucek imo.

David please stop this pursuit. Old, slow, expensive. Would be a stupid buy.

I think piecing together a possible narrative from the rumours that have appeared over the window , Moyes approached Soucek earlier in the window but Soucek ( who is happily settled and liked by W. Ham supporters) was reluctant to move and was...

I think we were linked but was never real

Soucek is a DM to be fair. Just a very limited one.
