“Odd Man Out” | Soucek Set For Struggle at All New West Ham West Ham’s Tomas Soucek is an easy player to admire and understandably a fan favourite. His never-say-die attitude, incredible work rate, and ability to score important goals always have me willing him to do well. Moreover, Soucek is a likable fella who has fully embraced the culture and history of West Ham and clearly loves playing for the club. However, I couldn’t help but feel a little bit sad for the Czech midfielder as he attempted to make the case that he can perform in a possession-based,…
Club considering signing Tottenham player in what would be impressive transfer. The tact of the Saudi Arabia transfer approach has somewhat changed this summer, or at least those are the messages coming from the country. They don’t want their league to be seen as a retirement home for ageing footballers, somewhere they can go to bag a lot of cash without really putting too much effort in. Reading between the lines, it appears there’s been frustration with some of the earlier recruits perhaps seeing it all as a working holiday. Therefore, moving for 32-year-old Son Heung-min may not fit in…
West Ham: Steidten’s Dark Arts Paying Off. The pursuit of players this summer has been hindered by clubs continually inflating prices and increasing demands as soon as a deal is being negotiated. Evidence of this can be seen in the Hammers’ interest in Jhon Duran, where the published price suddenly jumped from £35 million to £40 million the moment West Ham tabled a £35 million bid. A similar situation has occurred with transfer bids for another key position, specifically the ongoing ‘saga’ of acquiring a new right-back. Last week, it seemed the choice was down to one of two players:…
Tomas Soucek makes jaw-dropping admission that will leave West Ham fans stunned. West Ham United midfielder Tomas Soucek has just made a truly staggering admission. West Ham signed Tomas Soucek on loan from Slavia Prague in January 2020, before making his deal a permanent one six months later. The Hammers paid around £17.6 million to bring the 29-year-old to the London Stadium and on the whole, he’s been a very good player for us. He has bagged 32 goals and 11 assists in 207 games in all competitions for West Ham – a decent return indeed. However, Soucek has been…
With Julen Lopetegui’s first summer in charge at the London Stadium now well underway, West Ham United’s new boss appears to have his eye on a number of new attacking players.

West Ham are becoming hopeful of reaching a deal for Aston Villa striker Jhon Duran, its been reported by ExWHUEmployee. As was been exclusively reported by our Podcast co-host and club insider earlier in the summer, the club had identified the Columbian international as a key target this transfer window, where a significant re-build is in place following the arrival of new Head Coach Julen Lopetegui. There had been a somewhat slow-down in the talks, with it understood the fee being a stumbling block as West Ham seek a package that includes incentive based payments, which Aston Villa have to…
As much research as managers do before they join new clubs, whether it be watching old matches or analysing stats, they cannot truly come to conclusions on the players they’re inheriting until they’re on the training pitch and coaching them. That’s true for Steve Cooper at Leicester City and it’s true for Enzo Maresca now at Chelsea. And after a few weeks of City’s old boss overseeing his new squad in the capital, it’s emerged that he wants a new goalkeeper. That’s troubling. For now, the line is that Maresca likes Robert Sanchez and will install him as Chelsea’s number…

Man United look like being the victims of a Tim Steidten masterclass as West Ham turn the tables with a double move. West Ham appear to have grown sick of waiting for Manchester United when it comes to their transfer plans. The Hammers held talks with the Red Devils over several weeks last summer to sign Harry Maguire and Scott McTominay. In the end Man United wanted too much money from West Ham for McTominay. And a £30m deal was agreed for Maguire only for it to collapse at the 11th hour when Man United refused to meet his demands…
