    Anyway who the hell is he?

    6'4" defensive midfielder. Czech international. Penalty taker. 24 years old. Blonde.

    His YouTube highlights are basically headers and penalties, including a panenka. Have never seen him play or heard him linked with anyone else.

    At least it's a signing in the right area of the pitch, and an immediate upgrade on Carlos 'Hackney Marshes' Sanchez.

    Also, this from a Czech fan:

    "Walker-Peters also in talks."

    That would be Levy hanging out the carrot until the end of the transfer window, and then saying "sorry, the boy's chosen another club, never mind"

    In January especially teams normally always hold out until the end to try and get top dollar. Not as easy as Joe Cole makes out, but agree with the mis-matched squad. I think having either Carrol or Hernandez as lone strikers was the most bizarre mis management I've seen for years. We now have Haller or some geezer from Switzerland that looks like he is learning to play the game from scratch. Anyway, trust in Moyes to balance it all out.

    Is the correct answer.

    Hopefully good news for most of us on here based on the comments seen?

    Another news source states Walker-Peters is going to Southampton on loan which will be more to Mr Levy's liking.

    This is quite an exciting description of Soucek's style. I hope he really is this good.

    Get the boy.

  • HamstewHamstew
    So who does everybody think he will sign for in the morning. I think Spurs.
  • OutcastLondonerOutcastLondoner
    Or Everton

    He also says this:

    "That's about all I have, but before I go, one caveat:
    Souček's best years overlap with Slavia having a very smart coach and attacking & defending (& moving) like one man. They hardly get outnumbered, they dictate.
    Can Moyes provide that basis? Another matter altogether."

    And that's the point. West Ham never play like that.
  • OutcastLondonerOutcastLondoner
    That description actually makes him sound a lot like Declan Rice. On one hand, it's not the box-to-box midfielder a lot of us want. On the other hand, I think Rice could do a more energetic role if he was freed up by someone else to do the steadying work.
  • claretandblueskyclaretandbluesky
    He sounds so much like Declan Rice the cynic in me thinks they have already decided to cash in on him at the end of the season. The optimist in me thinks it will allow Rice to be the versatile player the club needs with such an imbalanced squad, he can readily fit in at Centre back and he can also be a more pressing midfielder as he has shown glimpses of when we have been chasing games lately.
  • OutcastLondonerOutcastLondoner
    Yeah and Declan Rice is actually way more technically gifted than he's shown and his kind of gangly appearance suggests. I think Nasri even hinted at it when Rice scored his first goal. I guess, if this new guy works, we'll at least see Rice freed up to perform at another level for the rest of the season - because we need it.

    I actually doubt the end of this season would be a good time to sell him. Rice has been one of the better players but still not at his best. I have no doubt he'll get back to it if we can sort the team out but it seems his price tag might be a bit low this summer. Another good season would make him a more solid bet for someone to bet on. (Unless Man City choose him as a future Fernandinho replacement, which I'm not sure he's shown he's quite up to yet).

    West Ham to sign Tomas Soucek for £13m from Slavia Prague

  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    Moyes said in today's press conference that Soucek is having a medical, and there's a bid in for another player. No names mentioned.
  • McHammerMcHammer
    ExWHUemployee says West Ham have made offers for AC Milan striker Krzysztof Piatek, Atletico Madrid right back Sime Vrsaljko, Nottingham Forest’s Matt Cash and an unnamed right-back at another English club.
  • HamstewHamstew
    Am I correct in saying he said it wasn't a striker?
