Transfer Rumour Tomas Soucek

[John O'Kane]

If he only brings goals from midfield, it is concerning that he has had 2 seasons under Moyes when he got less than 5 goals. Hardly screams prolific. I’m concerned (if this is true), that Moyes is thinking of himself rather than the club with this signing. A player with no long term value, on big wages, to satiate Moyes’ need for experience. It also limits some of the younger players’ opportunities, and directs funds away from more pressing areas of the team.

Not sure what he would bring to the team that improves us tbh
Really uninspiring link

Can we not test their resolve on Paqueta instead?!

Realistically, he suits Moyes style of play.
He is a defensive midfielder in the classic sense, his main ability is to sit in front of the CB’s and give them protection.
He works hard , is superlative in the air .Good at blocks and tackles , gives away a fair few fouls , but to be expected given his role and skill set .
His secondary role is to give support in the box , he usually arrives as the initial attack runs out of steam and has a knack of scoring goals. His height and ability in the air also make him dangerous on corners and free kicks.
But he is not creative , his passing and control are poor , which is probably why he favours a hoof ball. He is not the fastest either.
A hard working defensive player with a bonus of goal scoring ability.
For his age/ price / wages I think we could do better .

Not the DM we need and is quite slow, also at his age that is dead money. On the flip side he does notch goals and is a unit.

If he's coming to start, that's a mistake. If he's squad filler, he's too expensive.

Moyes needs to lose his hard on for Soucek and think more long term.

I’d rather play Harrison and let him develop if we can bring in better than this.

 

[usaefc]

No, thanks.

 

[RomanReigns]

He’s a better version of Onana if we are all being completely honest here

He could be our McTominay

He’s not good at tackles. He’s not a ball winner at all. Most of what he’s good at revolves around him being 6’4.

The McTominay renaissance revolves around him actually playing further forward.

No, the club need to understand that the manager is going to not think long term and tell him no.

 

[WilliamBoo]

My only memory of him is about one or two years ago when he was in an American rollercoaster yelling and rolling eyes like Arnold Schwarzenegger in Total Recall . Nothing about football.
Is he really needed?

 

[COYB75]

Really disappointing if we do get him. I don’t think we need him at all. Moyes should be told no on this one.

McTominay should have been our McTominay last summer
