Seriously?I know I'm obviously biased but I actually think Skipp has more to his game than Rice. More drive, energy and dare I say it, intelligence.

Yeah.Seriously?
Yeah.
I know he's further back in his development but I do think he's got more about him for the future.
That's not to say that he's ahead of Rice at present but I do think he soon will be.
For me, he's got more dynamism about him, which is essential for the role.
As I say, I'm probably biased but I do believe that Skipp has the potential to totally dominate that midfield role.
Could be right, maybe he's got a bit complacent and needs something to push him on. A new manager or a new club.West Ham fans that I know think he’s being stifled by Moyes, and they could well be right.
I remember on at least one occasion against us in the last few years at our place he did exactly as you said. He totally ran the midfield and we couldn’t get near him.
- Kane finishing like that? Guaranteed 0-0 this.
- Tottenham carving us open on the counter attack time and time again. We're falling for it.
- Oh dear. Let the floodgates open. I hate this mob more than any other, and they're now gonna stuff us.
- Undone by Davies and Royal. How pathetic.
- Spurs so there for the taking first half. Good attacking from us since though.
- Charming chants from the home crowd.
- I ****ing hate Harry Kane you lispy cheating rat
- This is absolute trash, we can't get near them.
- God I despise Son.
- Getting torn a new one by Oliver Skipp and Ben Davis..
- Skipp has pissed on Rice today. What’s that all about?
- Fraser Forster next to nothing to do.
- Now spurs sing west ham going down.. Like we don't already know
- We're having the p!ss taken out of us by an average Spurs side and their fans. Short of bending over, we couldn't have been better guests.
- Spurs are literally laughing at us now.
- Skipp has had Rice in his back pocket.
- Worst spuds side for years and still pissing all over us.
- Considering Spurs needed the win the go fourth I assumed they'd bottle it at some point, we were that crap we didn't even give them chance to......
- Skipp, Hojberg, Davies, Langlet, Emerson Royale…..it’s not Brazil 1970 for ****'s sake.
- (About Rice) That was a poor showing from him Today. Hojbjerg and Skipp. I had high hopes that we'd win that midfield battle. He got bossed by Skipp and anytime Kane dropped in.
- ****ing hell what’s that photo doing the rounds on Twitter of Mark Noble with a spurs badge on his coat. As if the day couldn’t get any worse.
- Sitting in the Tottenham end listening to that abuse has given me PTSD.
- Just seen all of the racist abuse directed at Son on Twitter. What a pathetic, embarrassing day for the club. as well as the jew this and Spurs that from the away support , from a few prats behind my son today , we really are a joke on and off the pitch
Hard to say what level Skipp can reach but I’d have Declan rice at spurs in a heartbeatCould be right, maybe he's got a bit complacent and needs something to push him on. A new manager or a new club.
Rice is a good player but doesn't come across as the smartest, so maybe he needs someone to keep him focused.
I like him and it's obvious that the talent is there but I think he may lack the desire and drive that Skipp seems to have, which is why I think Skippy will overtake him.
I may be completely wrong and it sure wouldn't be the first time but I'm just voicing my thoughts out loud in the safe space that is SC. ??
Nothing would delight me more than for them to go down, if only because it means we don't have to be in the same place as their fans for at least a season.I was sat very close to the away fans today - we have our share of dickheads but what a vile bunch they are. I’m sure some of them barely watched the match and were just there to shout abuse and throw wanker signs around!
He’s not having a great season, but he’s better than all our options when he’s at his best. I rate our midfielders, but he’s a brilliant player.I probably wouldn't take Rice as I don't think he brings anything we don't already have. He's great at mopping up in front of a defence and driving forward with the ball, but we have players like that. He's not brilliant receiving the ball from his defenders nor passing it forward, which is something I really do like about Skipp.
Rice probably could've done with moving already, then again they'd say the same about Kane. Then again, Harry developed all facets of his game over time.
Yeh, he's suffering in a crap side and is clearly going to move. He's a quality player and you know he's going to fit right in at Chelsea.He’s not having a great season, but he’s better than all our options when he’s at his best. I rate our midfielders, but he’s a brilliant player.
I’ve a feeling he’ll end up at City.Yeh, he's suffering in a crap side and is clearly going to move. He's a quality player and you know he's going to fit right in at Chelsea.
I’m betting Pool.I’ve a feeling he’ll end up at City.
I have a feeling he’ll end up here alongside Jude Bellingham, Gvardiol, Raya and Bastoni.I’ve a feeling he’ll end up at City.
