Oliver Skipp - confirmed official

[Guest Chocolate Teapot]

I think he's a better bet than Soumare, wilf and Hamza.

[North Leeds Fox]

If it means we don’t have to play hamza or soumare, then it’s a definite yes from me. Solid prem player that will help us this year and will help get promotion next year. Not a sexy signing but at least improves the team and squad.

At what he does definitely, but Ndidi is still likely better as a sole DM.

He's on 40k a week currently.

Less than Winks you’d think

NOW GET DELLE ALLI FOR A LAFF!"!!!

Listen, we need strikers but this seems a reasonable signing. We can't go in with just Winks/Wilf/Hamza (discounting SOumare).

I am expecting more

 

IF it is less then it is a pretty decent deal

If we’ve got anything about us there’ll be a great big staying up clause in there and a lower initial fee. Probably be about £12m all in.

Skipp looks younger than I remember.

[-sodapop]

Reading on the spurs forum that he also provided good cover at LB, might be valuable in our situation.

[TrickyTrevLeftPeg]

Dreadful signing. Genuinely not what we need.

Only reason I can think for it being more is that he’s quite a bit younger. But less top level experience, Winks had played CL, more games in Prem, for England, as well as loans in Serie A. I put his profile above Skipp, but not by a big margin.

Looking forward to seeing we have dropped £20m on Oliver Skipp lmao
