TrickyTrevLeftPeg Posted 18 August Share Posted 18 August (edited) Already said earlier in the thread that winks and skipp midfield just won't work. It's not powerful enough, athletic enough, won't be creative or score enough. Especially in the premier League. If he's coming into effectively rotate with winks then fair enough but It's a hard no from me especially when we have other glaring necessities and a poor budget. We are not in a position to waste money. Edited 18 August by TrickyTrevLeftPeg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbflcfc Posted 18 August Share Posted 18 August I would say he’s a lot more progressive with the ball & possibly more athletic than winks. Im not against it at all, just a bit underwhelming, unless it’s a replacement for bouba. I feel our priorities need to be AM, LB, ST though.

If we can get it done for a reasonable price, I'd say do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heathrow fox Posted 18 August Share Posted 18 August Always got Winks and Skipp mixed up so this would be ideal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LestaLad Posted 18 August Share Posted 18 August Given the mess we’re in, I think it’s a solid signing. I’d rather him play than Choudhury or Soumare. But we do need more attacking threat now. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moore_94 Posted 18 August Share Posted 18 August (edited) I definitely think we do need a new signing for that pivot, as I despise the idea that an injury to Winks means we have to use 2 of Wilf, Hamza, and Soumare Main problem I have with Skipp is that I can’t see us getting him on loan, and if we are paying a fee for someone go get Mandela Keita ffs Literally perfect for what we need (I will keep championing this signing until he goes somewhere else or until we sign someone else) Edited 18 August by moore_94 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st albans fox Posted 18 August Share Posted 18 August 22 minutes ago, Ric Flair said: If it's a loan and Soumare is off then fine, but I still don't think he's all that. He'll be on decent wages as well, we are so baffling. spurs aren’t big payers he signed his deal in 2022 when he was 21 i reckon he’s earning max 40k we could probably get him for 60k if we’re prepared to give him an viable exit via a reasonable release clause he’s more decent than most appreciate cos he’s not had enough game time there. he’s not top six levels. But he’s more than good enough for us. as far as having too many players for positions is concerned, I’m rather hoping that we see a team playing with real intensity which means we need to rotate more than we have become used to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickyblueeyes Posted 18 August Share Posted 18 August I’ve never really paid attention to Skipp. Might be a steady signing. Does he carry the ball well ? I feel we will miss that without KDH. My question though is what exactly are we paying Glover for ? Surely, as we approach the final week of the window, our head scout is not recommending that the only individual we “accelerate” for is a Spurs reserve who we could’ve got quite easily at the start of the window - jury definitely still out on Glover given his disastrous January window last time.

Worcester Fox Posted 18 August Share Posted 18 August Maybe a good squad player for us hopefully but not a good look considering we haven't signed anybody else of real quality. The board and management appear clueless (again) and are shooting from the hip to see what sticks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edingleyfox Posted 18 August Share Posted 18 August I like him a lot would definitely take him but still very worried about the top end of the pitch including a more attacking midfielder. Winks should help get this one over the line. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cropwellfox Posted 18 August Share Posted 18 August Likely to be a number of times where he’ll pick 3 x DMs so we will need depth in this position. Surely not even Rudderlesskin would be going for this instead of attacking options so as long as we are on with other business it’s a decent signing. He’ll strengthen our first XI and is a decent player who’s got plenty of minutes in a team and squad way way better than ours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
