Happy Fox Posted 19 August Share Posted 19 August We are overpaying for him but he’s not a bad player and will improve us. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danno Posted 19 August Share Posted 19 August 2 hours ago, Iran said: Useless player and (more or less) useless signing for a position that really doesn't need prioritizing over a striker and/or #10. You’re happy with a midfield of Ndidi, Winks and Choudhury then? 😂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloria Posted 19 August Share Posted 19 August Incidentally, Transfermarkt - who consistently undervalue players - have Skipp at £15 mill. So, for a young, English player with EPL experience IRL (plus Levy tax) probably isn't far off the mark. As others have pointed out, salary is reality in the world of P$R. Has he moved for more money or more minutes? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pliskin Posted 19 August Share Posted 19 August (edited) Skip is one of those players who could get lost in a Spurs team, but here, with us likely to be having less of the ball, he will be like a Kante style of player, disruptive busy body. Energy in the midfield and he’s actually a better ball carrier than some give him credit for, he’s fairly quick so may be able to offer a driving force for us through the middle of the pitch.

teblin Posted 19 August Share Posted 19 August I think if we already signed a striker, people wouldn't be so Knee Jerk with this signing. Solid Player at this level, hopefully not at the expense of attacking players. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonnyBoy Posted 19 August Share Posted 19 August passed medical, confirmed then. Hope to see a lot for 25 million.. quickly. I can only assume we have ££ for an striker now otherwise this makes no sense 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are not prioritising it over a forward; why do people go on about this? We are trying for a forward, but they've fallen through because of last-minute hijacks by more appealing clubs. Should we really wait until we've signed a striker before you sign another player? It's nonsensical. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expecting to see the wallet flashed for a forward and attacking mid considering some are happy on here with this Skipp signing 😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnyBoy Posted 19 August Share Posted 19 August Does anyone know if we actually have a considerable pot of money for a striker now after this fee? if not, maybe they have a couple of good loan options they are working on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has he moved for more money or more minutes? We are overpaying, but I don't think it's by that much, in all honesty. IF it's £20m + 5m. The extra £5m is likely heavily weighted on staying up for starters. He was in a team of the season in the championship when Norwich got promoted and rated very, very highly by their fans, and labelled as one of their main reasons for promotion. Off the back of a good championship season and what I thought was one poor and one middling premier league season, loads on here expected £40m+ for KDH 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what happens if one of Winks or Ndidi gets injured? And Soumaré and Hamza clearly are not good enough. It leaves us with two central midfielders…… You sign players when they become available for the transfer, the club will be spinning multiple plates to get deals done they won’t just focus on one player at a time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say there are huge question marks over Ndidi, he's not been near the same player for three years now. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd expect KDH to fetch more, being more eye-grabbing as a player who gets forward more. But he's also two years older, so we've got a few years of development in Skipp. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, which is why I actually think CM and ST are our two top priorities. I think the CM role just gets overlooked a lot of the time because we need a 9. But the reality is, other than Winks, that CM looks very suspect. Edited 19 August by Pliskin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claridge Posted 19 August Share Posted 19 August He is a great signing, pathetic how some people are moaning about it. We got £35 million for KDH and he isn't anywhere near as good as Skipp 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ndidi will more thank likely have a few weeks/months out injured at some point. I'm all for Skipp signing, he is the kind of player we haven't had in a while, doing the dirty work in midfield. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got £35 million for KDH and he isn't anywhere near as good as Skipp There’s 2 valid reasons for people to be concerned about this signing. 1) He’s the exact same type of midfielder we already have, defensively minded and not an attacking or creative midfielder 2) £25 million is a big old outlay with our current financial situation and we still need a more creative, attack minded midfielder and at least 1 starting level striker. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant see KDH as an attacking midfielder in the premier league for Chelsea to be honest. Its more the money, bit expensive but compared to KDH a bargain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
