Give them an extra 10m to sign him if we go down, nice to have players that actually want to play for us!

If you could activate the clause to sign Tomas Soucek right now, would you do it?Yes, he's shown his class
No, we need to see more |
According to the Guardian, the Irons have paid a loan fee of €4.5 million (£3.9m) and there is an option to make the move a permanent one for €16 million (£14m).
Following the news on the holding midfielder from football.london, though, many supporters felt that David Moyes’ side should get the deal confirmed as soon as possible.

What do we think?
As can be judged from supporters’ responses, it is clear to see that they are just as desperate as the 25-year-old midfielder to see the loan move made a permanent one.
With a 6.73/10 average rating making Soucek the eighth-best performing player in the Irons’ squad also (per WhoScored), it is clear to see why fans want him in.
