We will be eternally grateful to the owners if they can somehow come up with the cash to sign him…..must be so hard for them to keep our club alive… they are plotting to paint themselves as our saviours again! They must really think we are all thick!

Makes it sound like we’re broke?

Do you want the club to make Tomas Soucek's signing permanent?Yes, he's good enough
No, not good enough

The 25-year-old midfielder arrived at the club during the January transfer window on loan from Slavia Prague, however, the Hammers have the option to purchase Soucek for £13 million (per BBC).
Though after a 6.73/10 average rating over four Premier League outings since his arrival (per WhoScored), it seems he has convinced the Irons to find the funds for him ‘one way or another‘.

In other words, we will be selling some prized assets to pay for several average ones ?

They have no choice. Unless we get relegated we HAVE to make the transfer permanent

What do we think?
As can be seen in the responses from West Ham supporters, they are clearly a little frustrated that the club does not appear to have the £13 million for the transfer available to them.
However, according to @ExWHUemployee last week, the club may be in financial trouble when the current viral outbreak is over (via @WHUFCFZ), which may explain the lack of funds.
