Is this guy any good? I know he wasn't starting in the 1st team this season but he's got 1 cap for Denmark. Will he do us a job in the English 1st Division?

He had 28 caps for Gladbach an scored 4 goals (most of in last season's dying matches in which they avoided relegation). I don't know very much about him but if you want to get more infos join the forum of http://www.seitenwahl.de/e/ and ask the editors or the forum members about Skoubo.
Btw, that is a high-quality English (unofficial) Bundesliga club fanpage.

Last season, when he first started with Gladbach, it seemed as if he was in over his head. But after the winter break, he seemed to adjust much better to the level of play and showed indicators of quality, including the goals that jonam mentioned. But he never got a run of games to establish himself. I don't know why--the coaches didn't like him, he didn't train very hard, he wasn't physically ready, he wasn't tactically aware, the coaches were stupid (although to the be fair on the last one, three different coaches made the decision to limit his playing time)? I do know it wasn't a situation where he had too many quality players in front of him blocking his path. Bottom line is that he's a bit of a mystery, and the only way anyone's going to find out if the guy can play at the highest levels is to give him a chance. Second that about www.seitenwahl.de. Just recently, they started an english-language forum.
