The £13.5m rated man? A very specific figure

posted on 8/11/21

I think he has gone ahead of Hojbjerg in the pecking order for the DM role. Against the bus parkers I would like to see one of Skipp or Hojbjerg playing alongside a more creative player, in the toughest games play both Skipp and Hojbjerg.

We need to work out a way of getting Ndombele, Lo Celso and Dele onto the pitch, these players can create and make things happen.

Lo celso is an in theory player. in theory, based on his style and his performances for Argentina, he should be contributing in an attacking sense to spurs. in reality, since he came 3 seasons ago, he has done virtually nothing

Skipp has done great this season.... He has a great future at Spurs. His only problem is that he does the exact same thing as PEH. I like them both and we are well covered in the DM position. Sadly as yesterday proved, neither are especially good as box to box midfielders, neither cause the opposition a problem and both tend tp pass the ball sideways with opposition getting 11 men behind the ball.

If we are gonna play both then NDombele has to start ahead of Moura

TBH PEH has been OK (nothing more for past 12 months). I'd like to see how Spurs get on after the International break without him with this team

£24k a week and Ndombele is on £200k a week. Crazy.

Imagine being Harry Winks and seeing someone younger than you break into the side. He must feel so embarassed.

Jose said Skipp wants to captain Spurs one day. I can see it. Still needs more games and experience but glad he is on the right track.

Skipp did make a few forward passes yday. He does have it in his locker but 9/10 times he will always look for the safe option.

He will miss the Leeds match so who Conte pick as PEH's partner? Has to be GLC..

I may have dozed off (the game was that dull) but did Skipp get booked yesterday meaning he's suspended ? Might be a short term blessing in disguise

Skipp moving ahead of Hojbjerg in importance. We need one more tough tackling CM to create good competition and balance. Winks is not it.

Skipp suspended so it will be interesting who Conte selects to play alongside PEH.

We need better than Skipp and Hojbjerg really.

They both have their place in the squad but I'd like a new signing in that position.

posted on 8/11/21

a CM completing 93% of sideways passes in a 0-0 draw with zero shots on target tells you everything you need to know..... Not exactly something to be crowing about

posted on 8/11/21

Skipp was excellent yesterday. Only player I'd say that about. Very promising indeed.

posted on 8/11/21

3 at the back with 2 WBs gives us the shape and balance to play NDombele without needing to relying on his defensive discipline/ ability to track back... so facking play him !!! Yesterday was pretty shlte despite all the Conte Hooplaa

My biggest fear come January is that Levy will not sanction another midfield signing. Will he will tell Conte/Titty to work his magic on Winks and/or Dele?

Levy also knows Sarr is joining us in the summer so he might think we will be over stacked in the CM department.

Links to Kessie are good but again he is avilable on a free in the summer and Levy might think it is best to wait until then.

Winks and Dele are just surplus to requirements though.

Skipp, Hojberg, Lo Celso, NDombele should be adequate until Sarr comes in the summer plus maybe one of ther others being replaced at that point.

I wouldn't want to see Skipp pushed aside.

Yeesh

He looked like a 40-year old slogging around miles behind the pace of the game. Clearly used to having time and space on the ball in Italy.

Given the level of anger at Ndombele I can only imagine how popular Kessie would be if that's how quick he is on his feet

I like Skipp a lot, he is getting better and better and his passing yesterday was good

posted on 8/11/21

Skipp's first touch aint always the best which sometimes leads to him having to pass it backwards or sideways.

Neither he or PEH are confident in playing a first time pass unless its easy/low risk

The best British player at the club.

I'd sell both Ndombele & Lo Celso in a heartbeat

There's no point in having either of them taking up spaces from someone we could bring in who is:

1) fit
2) not injury prone
3) Match ready
4) influenced the game
5) strong mentality
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Before we think about selling those two. Winks and Dele need to be shifted. Can't imagine we would consider selling all four.
