That's not doing an 'airfixx'..... You used made up figures.
Also; thats 9 players vs 7 and you've not considered the goalscoring potential of:
Kulu
Solomon
Perisic
Sarr (already has 1)
Gil
Romero (already has 1)
PEH (?)
Johnson (?)
You can bookmark this and you can call me out on it if I'm wrong.
But I see nothing in Skipp that makes me think he belongs at a top 4/6 team
Ordinarily you’d say this was made up….
But with Daniel..
The first one isn’t far off really
We are talking about Skipp v Hojberg
They forgot the bag of soggy peanuts. Now down to 45 million. Hmmmmm...
His game needs refinement, it's clear for all to see. But at 22 years old without much PL experience under his belt, all he needs is the right manager to coach and refine his game. He has a lot of tools to be a very useful PL midfielder, he is aggressive in the press, has a decent eye for a pass and actually not a bad shot on him for a more defensive-minded midfielder. He isn't very good in the air and likely never will be, he has a habit of being caught out of position at times, and as you said, he is a bit rash in the tackle at times. But I don't see anything in his game (aside from aerials) that can't be worked on and improved upon. He could end up being another Winks, where he has hit his ceiling early and won't get any better, in which case 2-3 years down the line you'd like to see another academy prospect coming up and taking his spot off him so we can fuck him off to a Leicester a la Winks, but far too early to write him off after just 1 full season, a season which our fanbase universally agrees was an unequivocal disaster.
PEH is as good as he will ever be and that is to say, a bench option at best for a prospective champions league side in England.
It is obscene based on today's domestic market.
youd rather have skipp coming on to see games out than PEH?
Nothing will ever beat the £3m plus Onomah that he offered for Grealish.

What a lame answer. This has nothing to do with gambling. You're just scared of putting your money where your mouth is, because you know your argument is shit.
Not sure about the lunched or lunged (even,) but I am not yet convinced that Skipp is more than hardworking and homegrown.
If we let Hjojberg go, not to replace him.and then to rely on Skipp, who is currently behind Bissouma (definitely) and Sarr (for now), would be as risky as relying on Misshitharlison as our only striker.
Oh wait...

I would say Hoijberg does belong in a top 4/6 team.
Ceiling or not, Skipp has done nothing that makes me think he even has the potential. He's not even as young as people make out anymore.
Interestingly Hojbjerg is linked with ManU - I know several and they think he's a better CM than most that they have, so the interest is probably real
It won't suit the narrative on some TFC fans if he moves from Spurs (where apparently 'he's not good enough') to go to ManU !
Bentancur does still exist, mate.
Go read Red Cafe thread on him. Vast majority don't want him, those that do mostly say "good backup for Casemiro". They only want him on their bench as well.
Keep Hojbjerg until January when Bentancur will be back and up to speed.
Most people on spurs forums don’t know what they’re talking about too.
that deal was probably worth in the region of £35m, so not a terrible opening offer. If we were to give them £30m and Sanchez then it's nearer the £45m they want and it shifts a player surplus to our requirements (if we get another CB).
