Tomas Soucek has agreed to a new four-year contract with the HAMMERS
I am delighted to inform you that Tomas Soucek has agreed to a new four year contract with the hammers.Above all he is a gentleman who, on his day, is a very fine footballer who, tragically, has taken much too much flak from supporters over the last season.Yes, his form wasn’t as strong as it had been when he initially joined us, but he was fairly outstanding alongside Declan Rice that first season.After all, he wasn’t alone in seeing a significant drop in form last season – you don’t get fantastic performances from players when they suffer as many defeats as we did at league level.You don’t become captain of your country unless you are a really excellent footballer, but it doesn’t help at club level if you are swapped from a defensive to an attacking midfielder and back again throughout the Premier League season.
I’m hopeful that this season he’ll be given a free role in midfield alongside new defensive midfielder Edson Alvarez..It should also be noted that seeing a Hammer sign a new four-year contract at a time when there is purported strife behind the scenes is reassuring and provides some assurance that things are not as awful as we are made to believe.Daniel Kretinsky may have had some influence on Tomas’ decision to stay, and whether he did or not, I am extremely glad.
