If West Ham are stupid enough to sell one of their most important players to a rival that’s on them. They will also be selling him at a price which will not be enough to replace what they are losing.
It’s an objectively stupid transfer for West...
It’s about squad quality progression. If we can give Moyes a squad that’s stronger overall than the one he finished last season with then you hope that translates into improved league position and therefore finances for the club. You then look to...
I mean, it depends on what you are looking for. I’d rather have a player who will lift the level of the team than worry about the age profile.
For a modest investment in fee and wages (say the final price is 15-20) you are getting a proven first...
But that was his message to the board and owners, not to the fans. He didn’t say “we’re deffo signing elite players” it was more along the lines of “we need elite players for an elite stadium” whilst he was looking up at the directors box.
We...
If he comes here I doubt he’d send much time on the bench. He’s a dream player for a manager.
Also, he has a strong relationship with Moyes. I doubt there would be much “it’s our way or the highway pal.” He will know exactly what the standards...
Soucek is very influential, i think a lot of lads have said the same here, WHU wont let him go easy if it at all, the link i think is largely rubbish because no way are they stupid enough to sell him for 12 mill.
Judging by some of the comments...
My point is that there would be more than just Everton and Leeds interested if he was so exceptional at that price.
I think you probably overrate him a tad and I underrate him a tad. Truth is somewhere in the middle.
His contract is running down and he wants another, but they don’t want to give him one due to age and the fact he a a bit of a spare part for Potter. That said, last season he was a key player for them even as Potter tried to move away from their...
He’s not suited to a possession heavy turgid passing game espoused by Potter. His passing game is the weakness. It’s the trade off for having a guy who is great at reading the game and who is brilliant in both boxes.
You aren’t going to get a...
He brings goals and solidity and works like a Trojan. He is exceptional at what he does and would help us finish in a European place.
He’s a national captain. You would be adding leadership and be weakening a potential rival. There’s a lot about...
It’s about about building a competitive squad within the budget. Soucek is a proven Premier League player who will win you games - if the fee is right it’s clever business.
But is the “interest” even genuine?
