Skipp for Sissoko next season would help with the HG if we end up selling Dele to PSG, would also open up another foreign spot in the squad , hopefully we can get poch to take Sanchez as well which would mean we have 2 foreign spots open !

Or or Bissouma comes to us Sissoko to PSG Skipp to Brighton.Being that I want to see Skipp get PL minutes and I think he would slide right into the midfield, I want to see him at Brighton for the last half. Him and Bissouma would be a fun midfield.
Funnily enough, Norwich probably would have done a bit better last season if they had what they have this year in Skipp. They played pretty attractive football and conceded goals very easily because they had nothing solid in central midfield and two centre backs I don't think are PL standard in Hanley and Zimmerman. Lewis and Aarons received very little cover from the wing players, especially Cantwell who is pretty poor on the defensive side. Pukki really tailed off after the first 8 or so games last season, missed a good chance nearly every game.I hope Skipp is playing well, but I have noticed a general trend of Norwich players being overrated.
Buendia is apparently incredibly creative, and linked with Woolwich now.
Aarons is highly rated, nearly went to Liv and now ppl want us to get him.
Godfrey was signed by Everton, and started quite a few games for them.
Jamaal Lewis was bought by Newcastle.
Cantwell was raved about for a while.
Pukki was their highest goalscorer, but too old to be a transfer prospect.
My only question would be, if 6 of their first XI as listed above were really so good, why would they get relegated so easily?
Aarons is the Doherty we should have bought
Aarons is over rated he is the same level as KWP with.many of the same issues. Selling one to spend 50M on the other would be deeply stupid businessProbably true although rumours were that Norwich were asking for something like £50m for him.
One thing I did spot though is that last summer a number of Spurs posters were unhappy at both Aarons and KWP as they were both short (Aarons about 5' 10'', KWP about 5' 8'' v Doherty 6' 1'') and relatively lightly built. So if rumours emerge that we might buy him, I suspect the same opposition will re-emerge with demands for a 6 footer.........like......erm.....Doherty !

3 successive MOTM's and Southampton on level points with Spurs currently, almost half way through the season, with KWP playing in all games so far.
Difficult to see us buying players from clubs doing better this us all the time.
But certainly wouldn't see us paying £50m or so for either.

A very fair question. If you watch the Norwich games, the level of play in the championship is a joke compared the PL.I hope Skipp is playing well, but I have noticed a general trend of Norwich players being overrated.

Came on for 2 minutes so he is cup-tied.He's on the bench today at home against Coventry in the cup. A well deserved rest.
If I recall correctly, he had two back-to-back MotM performances for us as well.Three MOTM in a row, telling. First real full season as a first choice, such a shame.
