Who invented the Skipp?
KP Snacks
He's funny to watch because I can't remember seeing another play who seems to be just a mass of flailing limbs every time he touches the ball. It's effective but he just looks completely out of control of his body at time.
It's like Holtby but with skills
Has David Bentley kicked a ball into him yet?Who invented the Skipp?
Sounds mature for his age. Like KWP and Winks both do.
Do we know if Skipp is a yiddo or not?
He's a Hertfordshire lad I think so in the right catchment for him to be, but that's all I know about him (also in catchment for the scum, so will keep my powder dry until there's more info to trickle out).

Reminds me of Dietmar Hamann
He seems genuinely emotional about it all- was expecting him to sniffle up in that vid- and it wouldn't have made him any less manly if he did so. Really pumped about this kid. Just hope we can take a measured path with his development and not throw him into the deep end too soon.
He has a bit of the Phil Jones about him... but that's not being harsh, 'cos despite his gangly frame and 'unlikely footballer' appearance, he seems to be the real deal at taking instruction and getting the job done.Sounds like he's got something at the back of his throat. Will fit in with Kane
George Marsh is a Ryan Mason soundalike if EVER I heard it!
Has he been taking accent/diction lessons from him in training?
Like the look of both of them... down to Earth, grounded lads...
Wish I could say the same for Reo Griffiths & Marcus Edwards!!
Just shows you that ability isn't all you need to get you there... application and attitude also play a MAJOR part!
Poch seems quite reluctant to put praise on him, possibly a lot more cautious after he bigged up Edwards at a similarly young age and the car crash that ensued. This kid seems very different though, much better attitude both on and off the pitch.
Why do Skodas have heated rear windscreens?
Maybe because he's younger and there's more risk of his style not translating to the prem. Amos probably has a lower ceiling but is more likely to make it due to being so combative in a physical league.
Skipp is no slouch of course. I was very impressed with his tracking back and tackling.
