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

It's not 20m - more like 14m apparently. Still a bit too high but not the worst.

Yh that would not be ideal, if close to £10m it’s a decent deal imo. 

[Pliskin]

Spoke to my mate who’s a spud. Really rates him. I think Cooper could to use a mix of formations this season, Skipp is experienced and a proper work horse. Like I’ve said, this season isn’t about refined football, we’re going to need to be hard to beat, and a bit rough around the edges….. Skipp will give us this. I’d much prefer Skipp as part of a midfield three with Winks and Ndidi over ****ing Hamza. The lad from Brighton will give us an extra creative dimension, but we’re probably worse off defensively, and Skipp will provide added cover for that. 
 

Id be happy with this signing.

Don’t let him join the squad till Tuesday 👀

Imagine Winks gets injured. Whos our midfielder with great passing ability thst can hold the ball?

Hopefully the £14m is total including add ons, then I would possibly be okay with the fee 

[EnderbyFox]

The only saving grace is at least we haven’t dicked around with it, now let’s get a forward and an attacking midfielder sorted

Over a 4 year deal that's only 3/4m a year too

[Spudulike]

Suspect we are just being used by an agent to get his price up so that he can move to a club that he really wants to play for like Fulham, Palace or Bournemouth.

And a left back and centre back ………

[copunk]

Pleased with this signing 

Going to need grafters in the middle of the park, from what I've seen the lad puts a shift in

Combined.

[Levi Port]

Really happy with this, great player and good lad 

[Iwebema]

Perfectly fine with the player, my only worry is if money is tight, we still desperately need goals that he won't provide. 

If we can add 2 attacking players on top of this it will be a nice bit of business, if this sucks the funds so we can only get Ayew then it will be disappointing. 

[Guest Chocolate Teapot]

He's a proper hard worker, played 25 times for the 21s, many times as captain. Seems like a good lad too.

 

I actually quite like this as a signing. Was excellent for Norwich when they won the league and was in the team of the year alongside some very good players.

 

I like it, but we still need a striker and a 10.

 

 

[Spudulike]

The likes of Skippy, Bobby Reid, even Ayew are all Pearson type signings. All underwhelming but do a job that forms a strong core.

[Mickyblueeyes]

Not seen enough of him to have a judgement but I was very happy when we signed Winks because I thought he had the quality but needed a fresh start. If Skipp follows the same route, we’ve got two good PL midfielders. 

[HankMarvin]

Let’s hope he can stay fit, looks like he has missed more games than he started over the last 5 seasons for Spurs

More signings expected soon for Cooper.

[FoxesWalk]

If he was called Oliviér Skĩpp and played for a South American team I suspect the reaction would be quite different on here 

[roblcfc84]

Very good signing, just what we need. Don’t think we’ll survive without industry and energy in midfield

some are reporting its OVER 20mil

 

this ****ing club

[Ashley]

This is almost like damage limitations. 

 

Almost like the club have expected relegation this season, trying not to spend big amounts. Building a squad for the Championship that will compete and go again in a few years time when finances etc are in order

He is a technically sound player and for where we are is a good signing improving the midfield over those 3 for sure. 
 

But will the club get rid of those surplus to requirements and more importantly bring in the creative aspect we’re actually desperate for. With months passed and now two weeks left you’d think this is all too much. 
 

But yes Skipp is a good premier league and I’m quite happy with it as a signing on its own merit. 

[Ric Flair]

Sell Soumare for £10m and Skipp in for £14m whilst more than I'd want to pay isn't the end of the world. We still need a striker and another attacking midfielder/left winger which surely costs us £30-35m
