Oliver Skipp Confirmed

[Tommy Fresh]

I liked when for some reason he ran to crowd the box when we already had enough numbers back and Chalobah could then have a shot without any pressure

Skipp and Soumare shouldn't play together.

 

We all knew 20m+ was a waste of money, but how bad he was today shocked even me. 

It is almost quite impressive that we have a midfield pairing that cost over £40m and probably £150k a week and it is absolute dogsh!t even in the Championship

[foxfanazer]

We're well and truly stuck with him. A woeful signing yet again

"But he'll be great at Championship level. He won player of the season at Norwich a few years ago......."

 

Blah blah blah. All I take from that is that Norwich must have been especially pish that season.

Covid year so he didnt play infront of fans or any sort of crowd pressure. Just look at the difference with Iheanacho. Suited the weak mentalities

I always see the title of this topic and think “Oliver Skipp confirm “as being a little bit ****”.

I always just think he's reaffirmed his commitment to Christianity 

[ithuriel]

Still trying to figure out what he actually does

Well there's no longer any crows at the training ground 

[OadbyBlue]

Probably one of the worst value for ability signings in history. 20 million is an absolute rip off for someone who can’t even stand out in the championship.

You’ve seen the useless gimp who started alongside him before right? 
 

I’d take 1000 Soumare’s over 1 Skipp…. I mean I’d take 50 Junior Lewis’s over 1 Skipp he is stinking

He had a bad day, but he's not Soumaré, and it's fairly certain that we will need him at some point this season.

 

 

Agreed he’s not Soumare…. He’s 10x worse

[Dan]

Our midfield is foul. Just awful.

[eblair]

Think he might never play pro football after this contract is finished

 

Quite frankly he is an abomination at the moment. Truly awful.

 

Must be some player there somewhere, looks mentally completely broken and cannot see it being reversed 

 

Real shame especially given the ridiculous money we paid for him

 

Really hope he manages to turn it round, but cannot see it happening

[Sol thewall Bamba]

Holy mother he is shit. 

[em9999]

He belongs in a skip

Both times I've made the long journey down with the kids recently, Skipp has come across to sign autographs after the game and made sure he did it for everyone, just to add some positivity to the thread ♥️😅

He’s just hoping you’re offering him a contract out of here

That well makes him worth 20 mil and thousands a week In wages

 

I was wrong and I apologise to Mr skipp

[Gloria]

Is it just me, or does Skipp have more than a passing resemblance to Rudkin?

 

I think I might be on to something here lads... 🕵️

[daddylonglegs]

He's in a tough spot because £ for £ he's looking like he could well be one of the very worst signings this club has made in the last 10 years if he continues on this trajectory, and that is a seriously damning accusation. 

 

People will rightly point to Musa, Slimani, Ward as being worse and they probably are... but £20m on Skipp could well end up looking worse.

I can't believe there are parents out there who allow their children to get his autograph. 

[Frankel1981]

Seems to be a thing where people are getting shirts with our worst players on.

 

We are spoilt for choice :Ayew, Faes, Daka but I think Skipp may just be our worst anyone brave or stupid enough to have him on their shirt? 

[FoxesFourLife]

I would just play him in the cups with the kids he can help them adapt that's the only thing I think he can do.

Its cheaper than getting Vestergaard on the back..the only positive I can think of!

[Torten]

He hasn't been good enough but he's proved he is capable at this level. I have faith he can contribute if given a run in the team.
