Cannot write him off at that age and during a season in which nobody has stood out apart from Kane really. We could have postulated that Rose or Walker had reached their peaks before Poch came when they were similar ages. I know Walker had won a YPOTY but fans used to criticise him for his defending, that his pace used to mask over his defensive liabilities.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Skipp has been in or around the 1st XI for four seasons now, and is not really showing any improvement. Yes he puts in effort. But you need more than that at Prem level. He doesn't score, he doesn't assist, he doesn't win the ball that often, he still passes the ball backwards and sideways like Winks.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Same for Walker and Rose really, they were around that long, in and out of the Spurs team and people wondered if they would improve enough and that question was answered when Poch came in.
Let's see what a new manager does with him and the team first.

Probably best if you don't talk about football and stick to being a clown and making dumb predictions.
Under a front foot manager who knows, he may look better but I'm doubtful.

He’s fine, if he’s happy being a rotation option then it’s good for us. Only issue is he was a starter (due to injuries rather than by choice)
How could've picked when he's hardly played consistently throughout the season? He was only drafted in after Bentancur and Bissouma were injured..
He needs to rejoin Norwich and see if Delia wants him back..She'll make him nice sunday dinner
it wouldn't surprise me if skipp ended up just being a sort of mid table player but I would also like to see him get a chance playing in a team that plays better football

He was been under about five managers already, and just does not look very good.
The problem for any of our players, but especially our young players is that the club has been mismanaged over the last 5 years. We’ve seen managers come and go, with different tactics and philosophies. We’ve not had a manager last a full season for five years. How on earth can that help develop our young players? They have been massively let down.
If we get an actual coach in and back him, let him have a couple of full seasons, players like Skipp may actually start realising the potential they had a few years back. That’s if their confidence isn’t completely on the floor
Don’t underestimate the impact the incompetence of Daniel levy has across the entire club.
