Oliver Skipp Confirmed

[coolhandfox]

Still better then Soumare......

[urban.spaceman]

Who can we trick into buying him?

[martyn]

He grew into the game today tbf. Did some good things after a hopeless first 20.

No one is thick enough. Also even if we were offered £10mil I dont think we would be able to accept due to buying him for £25mil only last summer.

[Fox85]

Looks really unfit.

I think he is a player that needs to play regularly.

 

However I do think that championship is his highest level

[JimJams]

I'm all for giving him a chance at Championship level, but despite Golding being a PSR fiddle, I'd be more inclined to play him tbh. At least there's potential to improve there.

[ronnup]

Whomever agreed that fee should be put in the stocks in Leicester vity center and pelted

[moore_94]

You can guarantee he got put on a massive wage as well

[C.J]

To be fair to the lad. I think the championship will be his level after today. Nice to see Golding isn't an AI generated figure!

[Tuna]

I wonder if anyone takes him on loan for squad depth.

[BigGibbo]

Daniel Levy must burst out laughing at least once a week when he's reminded of us accepting his opening highball demand for Skipp.

To be fair we probably need him if Soumare and Ndidi go.

Here's hoping Sheffield Utd go up and buy Hamza and take Skipp on a season long loan.

25m what an absolute disaster of a negotiation that was

[lfu]

A less forgiving ref (or perhaps if the original ref stayed on), or if he'd have made one more foul he would've gotten a second yellow. A clumsy player.

Clumsy is exactly right. He's like a big silly dog gracelessly bounding around and bumping into things, which can be endearing in a dog yet is less so in our most expensive purchase of the season.

 

Though I accept £25m or whatever he ends up costing us doesn't go as far as it used to, for that sort of money I do still expect a player who is good at something and he seemingly just isn't. By all accounts he impressed for Norwich in their Championship win a few years ago so fingers crossed he is able to stand out next season but I will be really surprised if there ever comes a point where we can consider him a good signing.

[CosbehFox]

I didn’t think he was that bad. Thought it was nice to have a player actually track or cover a ****ing midfielder rsther than being constantly ran off the back of 

[lcfcliam]

His coming together with Onuachu he nearly bounced to the other side of the pitch 😂

[Ian Nacho]

I think he'll be alright next year, so he should be for the money paid.

Respectfully I can think of at least one club in Belgium with owners thick enough to pay a hell of a lot of money for him. 

[Number 6]

I said he'd be a good champ player for us, and we will surely get to test that theory, but he was shite today.

[Vindaloo FOX]

Feel kinda bad for him, not his fault we were stupid enough to pay 20 million for him and he's walked into a right shit show of a club.

 

Let's not forget his time at Norwich, I think the Championship is more his level.

 

Skipp went on to help Norwich win the Championship and was included in the 2021 PFA Team of the Year.

It was 20M still too much granted

[fox_favourite]

He's a very meh player. 

[LinekersLugs]

Quite honestly who ever bought him for 25m needs to be investigated by Serious Fraud Cops 

 

he is possibly the worst 20m+ player in this clubs history and we have signed some turkeys for big cash 

 

horrid player
