Canary dwarf 221 Posted June 10, 2021 we really need to push the boat out for Skipp , our defence looked so much better last season due to the great job he done protecting our back four , we've just lost the creator let's not lose the destroyer as well , he won't be cheap and might prefer going back to spurs but we've got to go for it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dylanisabaddog 6,148 Posted June 10, 2021 Our defence looked better last season because we were in the Championship. Skipp is a good player but Watford and Bournemouth made him look ordinary Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
For the future 84 Posted June 10, 2021 I think you will find Norwich city will get cheap players in as they do this every time they get in the premier league . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lake district canary 4,831 Posted June 10, 2021 Don't think we need to break the bank for him, just cover his wages and agree a decent loan fee. Hope this will happen, he is one of those players who just fits. Would be a real boost to see him back for another season.

He's definitely playing ahead of his years, he'll get better too. It was his first season in professional first team football basically, he was far ahead of anyone's expectations Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The new coach is highly likely to be Fonseca at this point, who would probably give him a chance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheGunnShow 7,377 Posted June 10, 2021 The bits coming out indicate that Levy seems to want greater focus on youth. That does not bode well for us, but does bode well for Skipp when it comes to playing for his boyhood team. Really wouldn't begrudge him that and if he does end up staying at Spurs, I'd truly hope he gets that sort of run in the first team and not that he's holding up an end here or there.

Capt. Pants 5,013 Posted June 10, 2021 If Skipp was really looking for property in Norwich last weekend then it's strange nothing wasn't announced this week bearing in mind all the bad news flying around. Don't think we're even close at the moment. I expect Spurs new manager will want to look at Ollie over the pre season before making a decision. We need to sign another option first.

Naturalcynic 817 Posted June 10, 2021 Wonder how much a season’s loan and wage bill might be.  Perhaps something in the region of £5 million?  Oh… Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't think we're even close at the moment. Could have been literally anything. What if he met his girlfriend in Norwich, who can't move to London with him because she's two years through a degree at the UEA but he wants her to have a nice pad for when he visits, etc. Still a distinct possibility that he has just moved out of that house as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fuzzar 1,861 Posted June 11, 2021 Winks will be made available this summer by the incoming sporting director at Spurs, according to the Beeb. If true, Skipp is perhaps part of their plans. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Capt. Pants 5,013 Posted June 11, 2021 The other issue is he is currently injured and much of pre season for him will be rehabilitation. Spurs might not make up their mind until January. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
