Another one that had to go. Not good enough for us.
Limited player but another home grown Spurs boy gone which is sad in itself.
More than £20m?! 
Think he'll do well there, it's about his level.

He's a decent lad, had a good go at things, always worked hard but wasn't quite good enough to help us push on. 20m is a reasonable amount. Good luck Skippo!
For sure but it is what it is mate, if they're not up to scratch, they gotta go...
Yeh but most youth players don’t make it, the important thing is move them on for good money which we’ve done here. It’s the best for both parties.
Good move for all parties really.
First team football for Skipp at a level that is his imo. Good fee for us and Leicester get a good young player that certainly improves their chances of staying up.

Winks has done well at Leicester, I imagine Skipp will do the same and good luck to him.
Homegrown players will always go at a premium.
Lo Celso also doesn't really have a market, Euro clubs can't afford him so his price will always be cheap.
Very limited footballer that didn't get criticised as much for some very average performances because he's home grown.
Wish him well though as he's a trier.

). No one could criticise his enthusiasm and work ethic. Really think this is the best move for both Him and the ClubMakes up partly for some of the huge losses we have made on other players.
and the fact he’s a Spurs loving boy who always tried his best.
Doesn't matter. He was bang average and hasn't really improved at all since he first came onto the scene. He would have got a lot more shit if he was Johnny foreigner.
Possibly but like all of us he loves Spurs so he’s been treated with respect.
Another in the long list of 'promised a lot but delivered little':
Bentaleb, Mason, Carroll, Winks, and now Skipp.
Good luck to him at Leicester but they seem to have bought the same player twice ( Winks and Skipp).
