No, I don't either, still gave me a chuckle though.

A bit like the canteen at the training ground apparently.
Until England understand the value of a regista, they’ll never win.
Rumours Jose let them slack on conditioning big time, can't help.
That was also one of José’s issues at Utd. Ole Gunnar Bellend was repeatedly banging on about how unfit the team was when he took over.
20-1 to make England's next world cup squad on sky bet. Im putting 50 quid on
I'm looking forward to seeing him play 
Oh FFSThink Adam Johnson is on one of those
Gylfi soon to be joining..
I think he will play games in the Qatar WC
Spot on - skilful players get shoved into the final third, well away from the centre of midfield
Way too early to say but fair chance of making the squad
Pirlo 2012
Modric/Rakitic 2018
Verratti/Jorginho 2021
Obviously Winks hasn’t worked out, but by all intents and purposes Skipp looks like an updated version with all the bug fixes.
20 quid max
I like Skipp but he’s not that sort of player
Norwich fan here:
Point 1: Thanks for alerting to Sky Bet 20/1 for him to make World Cup Squad. If he stays injury free and continues on current path, he's a shoe in. Cracking value bet (shame it's max bet £20).
Point 2: You have an absolute gem of a player. Alot of the plaudits to our campaign went to Emi Buendia, and as much as they were deserved, for a lot of more trained eyes, it was Olly Skipp that won the title for us.
His reading of the game considering his lack of experience was second to none. He has that extra yard of pace to chase the player that defensive mids/blockers often lack. He can pick a vertical pass, something Farke has really coached well into him and I have no doubt he'll be a first-team regular for you this year. He's also exactly the type of player that England currently miss. A player that can break-up play, control the game, and crucially play an incisive pass to the play-maker (Buendia, Grealish, Foden, etc.) rather than a side-ways pass.
At Norwich we've been lucky to watch a host of young players make their name recently (Buendia, Godfrey, Aarons, Cantwell, Skipp etc.). He's a top player and you're lucky to have him. Jump on those skybet odds whilst you still can.
p.s for avoidance of doubt, he's lightyears ahead of Winks already. He's stronger, reads the game better, and controls the pitch better. No comparison.
