I would not be surprised if all 3 of them had loan moves away this summer

Would suit us if we could loan all three off en masse to garbage like Derby, who haven't a pot to piss in and we can dictate the loan terms that they have to play. Also, deals can be renewed or recalled at Xmas at our whim

 

We get battled hardened players back and we cuck Derby at the same time. Happy days. 

[Phenom]

Would, if the price is right.

Pretty much where I stand on it, too – anything around £10m and I think it'd be a quietly steady piece of business. North of that and it's a no thanks, I see he's been linked elsewhere for £20m+ which should be a complete no go for us.

You ain't getting Skipp for £10m.

Double it at least I would say is where the bidding will start.

Then leave him well alone. He ain’t worth >. £10m. We don’t need to be paying a Spurs/Levy tax 

[FoxinNotts]

If we’re looking for a Winks back up, we should seriously consider revisiting the Sensi situation, and now get him on a free

Yeah, don't really get that if it was purely driven by Enzo.  I didn't think that's how we, or most clubs, operate nowadays with regards to signing players.

 

Though perhaps he wanted to work with Maresca and as he's out, so's Sensi.

Then I would simply avoid it.

Yeah, I think you’re right, but genuinely think if we (Rudkin and Coops) expressed a renewed interest in him, he already knows the clubs set up, and he’d consider us as a option.

 

I’m assuming he’d quite like the chance to play in the Prem 🤷🏻‍♂️

Played 45 mins for Spurs today in a friendly against Hearts

According to who?

I was referring to the comments on here. He’s had something like 16 minutes of first team football, someone said. He’s just returning from a harsh injury. Would do him good to go on loan to a champ club etc etc

[Greg2607]

Which may or not be true.  None of us really know.  How many loans did mainoo go on before breaking into the man utd first team??? (Spoiler alert the answer is none). 

 

He's played in the England game groups, as a back up and playing in cup competitions, I think he'd be fine.  Didn't look out of place in the games before his injury.

No one knows, he's played 16 minutes of senior football.

 

I don't want him playing a few minutes here or there, same with Alves. 

 

They need to get some decent loans and lots of minutes.

I would rather they stay here and us not waste our money on squad players.

Better not be us starting it then. **** me.

[Silebyfox_89]

I'd take him on loan otherwise I'd Skipp this one.

[NewquayFox]

We are fortunate that Winks stayed injury free last season, I hope Braybrooke can be promoted to the first team squad as cover for Winks so we don’t need to fork out several million for Skipp when we have other targets… 

[Long Eaton Fox]

He's sh*t so skipp to the loo.

Depends on how much game time they get. If they are backup to the seniors and then consistently get game time in the cups and as rotation, I don't think that's bad for their development. They are still pretty young, and with the injuries they've had might be a good way to ease them in to senior football over time.

Are you sure?

 

Barnes and KDH clearly benefited from the regular playing time they got from their loan moves.

 

Compare that to Thomas who stayed around the first team.

 

There’s certainly an argument to say that finding the right development moves for a player is better over the long term than focusing on short term squad needs.

[JimJams]

Comparing other players in this regard is largely pointless isn't it? Some will need loans, some will not. The success of Player A having done it can always be countered with successful Player B who didn't.
