Never knew his game was mainly winning the ball back, more so than his passing (especially considering it’s took a year to see itlol). I thought he was going to be Winks v2.

 

Ngolo Skipp.

I love a comeback story. Skipp seems like a decent fella and is obviously trying very hard for the team. I love that and for that he deserves our support.

Skipp has become a scapegoat because of the £20m transfer fee. That's not to negate criticism or to make out he's a good signing, but I doubt the level of criticism would be the same if he had signed for a lower fee. Skipp seems to get targeted more because he represents the club's recruitment in recent years, specifically when it comes to the handling of transfers. He's still relatively early into his Leicester career so shouldn't be written off completely in my view. Let's see how he does next season.

Great to see him now starting to turn it around. He's played his way into the side and is putting in some useful performances at the moment. Like with Bobby Reid recently, Skipp is playing more like the player we thought we'd signed.

Thank you Jon

Change Zip to Skipp just sing the first verse unless you can think of an alternative to Mister Bluebird (Cardiff City)

 

Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, zip-a-dee-ay
My, oh, my, what a wonderful day
Plenty of sunshine headin' my way
Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, zip-a-dee-ay!

Mister Bluebird's on my shoulder
It's the truth, it's "actch'll"
Everything is "satisfactch'll."

Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, zip-a-dee-ay
Wonderful feeling, wonderful day!

Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, zip-a-dee-ay
My, oh, my, what a wonderful day
Plenty of sunshine headin' my way
Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, zip-a-dee-ay!

Mister Bluebird's on my shoulder
It's the truth, it's "actch'll"
Everything is "satisfactch'll."
Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, zip-a-dee-ay
Wonderful feeling, feeling this way!

To the tune of Skippy the bush kangaroo:

 

(Skippy! Skippy!
Skippy the bush kangaroo
Skippy! Skippy!
Skippy the bush kangaroo)

 

Quote

Skippy! Skippy!

Leicester's number 22 

Skippy! Skippy!
Leicester's number 22

Not sure you can say his improved him when his previously been in the PFA Championship Team of the Season. 

 

More like his helped him rediscover himself.

Ngolo Skipp.

There was a game either this season or the last, where a CM of Skipp and Soumare never made 1 tackle throughout the game. The redemption arc from Skipp has been astounding.

Keep it up. Echo the sentiments of others on here. I really did think he was in danger of going the way of Jack Rodwell.

Still comfortably in the top 5 worst signings in our modern era but he is an honest professional and a decent to good Championship CDM. Just a shame we brought him in as a Premier league player at 5x more than he is worth and paying him 5x more salary than he is worth.

:unsure:

 

Define "modern era".

 

Doesn't scrape the top 20 probably.
