    Thought he looked ok today really…… played some nice passes around and got stuck in.

    More than happy to start him and Cov for QPR

    Wasn’t great but he was the best of the 3 midfielders today

    He broke up play decently a few times in the first half. Poor lad must be wondering if he’s a bad luck charm

    Unfair to judge him based on what happened today

    Thought he played OK tbh. Can't remember him doing anything wrong.

    He didn't do anything wrong but he's also not the kind of player who is going to win games single-handed through vision/skill or pure passion and effort - thats not a criticism as I think the whole set up today was less than ideal and he probably does have place in a better system or on a better day in general.

    Thought he was just ok today and will start with Coventry on Wednesday. NJ will have learnt his lesson and I can even see Carey coming back in the 10 role with Grant and TC wide.

    Is there a buy option for Skipp like Ouma or are we just taking a bit of his wages off of Leicester as they prep for double relegation under Nathan Jones wannabe Russel Martin?

    I assume Leicester would let him go for free. Figuring out the wages would be the issue if he’s really getting paid what he’s rumoured to be on.

    They wanted £15m for him earlier in the summer so I doubt they'd sell him for nothing next summer

    Whether they get anything or not will depend on how he performs this season tbh. And even if he has a good season this year none of the parachute teams won't get near his alledged salary, both he and Leicester would need to take a severe hair cut regardless.

    He doesn't have much to cut!

    I couldn't think of a more opposite guy to Nathan Jones than Russell Martin in basically every metric from personality to managerial philosophy

    Can't see him as Leicester manager for much longer.

    Anyone still got James Bree's number?

    Can definitely see him and Cov starting against QPR.  Leicester have been a mess for a few years.  I think it’s a good addition.  Chalobah is the most talented of the 4 that are competing for that position, but I feel that if he could just get a bit of momentum behind him, he could prove to be a solid loan.

    They'll be lucky to get 1.5m for him. He's under contract at Leicester until 2029 and every club in the country knows they can't afford to keep him.

    He’ll end up on loan again I guess

    If he is really on £50k per week then that is £5M for his last 2 years after his loan ends here.
    If he plays very well this season I suspect he might be able to get himself a Championship contract on say £20K a week. 
    Any buying club probably buys him for £3M paid to Leicester and Leicester use that to pay him up the difference in the contracts.
    If he is rubbish with us then poor Leicester are stuck with him.

    I’ve got high hopes for him. 

    Go on the Skippy!

    It won’t make the highlights but his tackle in the second half was outstanding. Saved us from conceding a goal. Perfect tackle to stop a clean shot on target from Portsmouth.

    Was great today and much more mobile than I thought. Strikes me as a player who is more noticeable in person than on the stream
