I learned PEH to know as a very attacking minded number 8 at Bayern. One of those scheeming players.
No comparison, just blatantly a Xavi rather than a Busquets.
If anything he was shoehorned into the latter by need or choice in Southampton.

Some fans see him as a regular starter alongside PEH
He wasnt shoehorned at Southampton.
His best position has always been as a deep lying midfielder, such that Pep himself described him as a potential "Bayern's Busquets".
That's not a bad point.
I am hoping he has got a bit more ambition than Pritchard.
Norwich boss Daniel Farke demands more from 'top player' Oliver Skipp
Oliver Skipp has been outstanding for Championship table-toppers Norwich City this season during his loan spell from Tottenham Hotspur, but Daniel Farke says there is more to come

Norwich is always going to be a team in the relegation battle if not being relegated, so I can't imagine that he wants that over playing for us, although under Jose might not be long until we join them.
I think he likely realizes it is a great chance for him to develop but if he wants to reach the peak potential of his career, both in club and international football, he will likely only get there with us.
Another pointless loan when he could be playing for us
Half of Eng’s best players shone in the Championship, have faith. He’s clearly better than Winks and Sissoko who both play 25/30 games a season so he will improve us
Not just game time, they are a decent footballing side (unlike Jose’s dourball)
My goodness a player at Norwich has been my favourite part of the season. Anyway as we have done them such a favour we should expect some back Aarons at a reasonable price for example
Yes. Can see it really worked out well for Winks.
So all Winks issues are because he didn’t have a loan spell?
I don’t like to hype up our youth players to much but skippy is going to be world class and the saviour of Spurs! Anything less and
I will be upset!

Winks was dropped into the first team at a young age and failed to thrive. It works for some and it kills the development of others. History has shown that a more gradual development is usually better for the player and club.
Skipp has the opportunity to play consistent minutes against championship opposition, which helps him develop while giving a more accurate measure of his quality. Better than having him in the first team, where he likely plays less minutes, faces stiffer opposition and likely more criticism for bad performances.
Only seen the highlights but looks as if he was class again today. Norwich forum praise for Skipp has really grown over the last few weeks, he's improving as the season goes on and his physical attributes are standing out more and more as his confidence grows. Can't wait to see this guy in our team next season, I think he's good enough to merit plenty of minutes.
How did Ledley do?
