Agree, decent signing and a good age too.
Decent amount of PL experience and still young enough to develop
The hysterically annoying and totally unfounded, but traditional, Summer 2024 rumours thread.

Surely we need Skipp as cover for our wingers?

We aren't desperate and the fee will be nothing like what has been quoted at the Spurs end. I remember when Newcastle quoted we had bought Perez for 30 million and the actual fee was less than half.

We don't have any type of creative midfielder on our books, but we're signing 100 wingers so assume that's the plan. Setup to be solid.
2-3 of Winks, Skipp, Ndidi and Hamza in midfield. Maybe Buonanatte ahead of them when we are chasing a game or setting up against a bottom half club. Then 3 wingers in front.

It seems okay really in this ****ing ludicrous market but yeah, we are so desperate for a striker I'd take Carl Cort back.

I do think Winks has the ability to play further forward so maybe the Skipp signing allows to move Winks up on occasion.
He’s a decent age, has premier league experience, is very versatile, and knows Winks a bit (I suspect).
It’s a sensible signing, but as others have said, we still need a striker, big time.

Also, has a look at the Spurs forum.
General feeling is decent player, some injuries have slowed him down from reaching his full potential and that he will likely do well here.

Agree with that assessment.
If the price is the quoted £20m with £5m in add-ons, that's bad value. He's a good addition, better than the other recruits so far, but there were better midfielders available this summer for that sort of money.
I still think we need a central defender because none of ours inspire any confidence. We definitely need a left back. We need a attacking midfielder and at least one striker.
Unless we're selling someone else for decent money, I can't quite see how the budget being blown this way helps.

Maybe the budget hasn't been 'blown'.

I can’t see it either, but I do think we’re weak there. Faes and Vestergaard will be a laughing stock in the Prem this season. Coady is injured and Okoli is an unknown who has just been relegated in Italy. Which is why I’m surprised Souttar was allowed to leave on loan, even despite his limitations.

The word 'If' is doing a lot of heavy lifting here.
