Oliver Skipp

Scott Parker would surely know Oliver Skipp well from coaching him at Spurs.

He reminds me a bit of Parker too. Very tenacious but spins around a lot less. Would be a good loan all round.

Not sure tbh. The Fulham fans will have little patience for a loanee from us. He's also going to have to break into that team whilst in the Championship he'd be far more likely to find game time.

If we send him out on loan it's got to be to a club where he has a strong chance of starting week in week out.

Fulham reportedly have a purchase option on their loan for Reed which their supporters expect them to exercise, and there's also been talk that Zambo Anguissa (who is still on their books) performed very well on loan in La Liga this season and gets on well with Parker, so there's a decent chance that he will be re-integrated into their squad now that they're back in the Premier League.

Personally I think Skipp would be better off in the Championship. There's no point in sending him to a club where there's every chance he'd be a squad player, he'd have that role here at Spurs and we could make do with him given the fixture congestion posed by the Europa League. He needs lots of games and there's no shame in a player of his age and experience level cutting his teeth in the Championship as opposed to trying to break into the starting XI in the Premier League.

They just got promoted, no?

Yes??? I guess that's on me, what I meant was if he went on loan to a Championship club he'd get more minutes than for a Premier League club.

This very positive and im all for this. Skipp is defo a talent and very highly regarded by the staff at spurs, however he needs experience regular football and with fulham in the PL now its perfect. Under Parker he will learn so much especially his experience of being a midfielder too. He probaly also knows Onomah well and played with him so integration and playing with someone he knows would be nice for him, all round its a win win for us as he wouldnt get much playing time next season with us. What he lacks overall is week in week out regular football and as i mentioned he will be playin in the PL, its perfect. It will be invaluable for him and our club too looking at the future.

believe that Skippy noted Parker was his role model - loan there could work....

Hi bro
I agree, a loan may work if JM deems fit.

 

[Curtis Peterson]

He should be able to get playing time at Fulham, even after the promotion and I love the idea of Parker coaching Skipp.

If not Fulham, then what about Leeds or WBA?

What are their midfield options like?

 

[gavspur]

As many have said, going to Fulham with Parker is a good learning curve for the kid. Having also listened to the Højbjerg interview where he talks about his time at Bayern, he would also surely be a great role model for Skipp too. Could be the perfect scenario where Skipp can just step in and cover for Højbjerg when needed. Maybe a season loan with option to recall if needed. He’s still young enough to have a year there, and come back here having not lost much time.

Leeds have Kalvin Phillips so he wouldn't get a look in there.

Not a bad combo in fairness, Phillips range of passing with Skipps tigerishness and you’ve got a very solid base of your midfield.

I think Leeds are after Florentino Luis

Where have you heard this? Right level of club to move to and fairly local, I think he would do well there

[sidford]

Great stuff. Championship is the best level for him on loan as he is likely to be a guaranteed starter at that level. Norwich play good progressive football so should mean he sees a lot of the ball. Very happy with this one.

Have we now built a bit of a relationship with Norwich.....
