I’d love Camavinga, I think he’s going to be one of the best 6’s in Europe in a few years time. But he’s only 17, even if by some miracle we could pursued him to choose us over Dortmund and RM (who are both rumoured after him) he’s still very young to be playing every week for a team like us - I’d buy him and leave him at Rennes, or find another French/German loan for him, where he can continue playing most weeks and developing his game.
But Skipp’s here now and is costing us fuck all, let’s give him some games and and see where we are in the summer, he can’t be any worse than the likes of Dier, Sissoko or Winks as a 6. I don’t necessarily think Skipp is going to be the answer to all our problems, but even if he just temporarily gives us a better option than we have, that’s a free (hg) bonus that means we can sell deadwood like Sissoko, maybe even cash in on Winks, put some of that money to buy a proper quality footballing/6 and, if he proves worth keeping in the next few months, keep Skipp around as a better squad option than we have now, as he can play in CM3’s or CM2’s.
