I hope Pep considers bidding him again. Wanted him sold earlier, wanted him sold now.
Couldnt have put it better myself scared of any responsibilty. Biggest mistake in the poch reign was bringinh him in. Skipp is already 10x the player he isI think he’s just far too meek. Would even go as far to say cowardly. Just seems to want as little responsibility as he can get away with in the hopes that he doesn’t look so bad that he’ll lose his place in the team. The ITK we had on him just before Højbjerg arrived saying that Winks wasn’t happy about his signing since he thought it threatened his place in the squad tells you all you need to know about him. Great players relish challenges and rise to them. Yet it seems to terrify Winks. And had even less of an excuse today playing alongside Højbjerg, who don’t get me wrong wasn’t amazing, but at least tried to put himself about and to play forward if he could. Winks just hid again.
Yep. Norwich fans have fallen in love with Skipp after one game. Honestly thought he was too good for the Championship but if he continues to smash it up hopefully he’ll be taking Winks’ spot when he returns.Couldnt have put it better myself scared of any responsibilty.

Even I think that’s a bit harsh, winks did something once to get us excited. Stambouli played once and made us shudder.Winks is useless and always has been. If he was called Benjamin stambouli he have already left. I pray that glc or Ndombele come in alongside hojberg. I've said it for years, he does nothing

Do you think hes always done that. Shirk the responsibility I mean?I think he’s just far too meek. Would even go as far to say cowardly.

Come again?Good job where just a charity club here just to make up the numbers and not here to complete. Wonder what Madrid fans would say
He’ll do it occasionally in the big occasions. Because obviously he loves Spurs and the adrenaline carries him to a big performance. The 3-1 against Madrid for example. He was excellent then. But he’s not a player that can turn that on and do it consistently. If his blood isn’t up due to the occasion he’s a passenger. And if anything that’s what makes me even more angry since deep down in him there is a player that can have games in the palm of his hand. But all to often he takes the easy way out.Do you think hes always done that. Shirk the responsibility I mean?
Are there any examples where you think he’s not shirked or has he always been shit?
You had me at adrenaline.....He’ll do it occasionally in the big occasions. Because obviously he loves Spurs and the adrenaline carries him to a big performance. The 3-1 against Madrid for example.

Starting to sound like arsenal fans about Wilshire against Barca amount of times this Madrid game gets brought upHis best games have always been alongside Wanyama or Dembele because they provided the stability behind him that allowed him to push on and take more risks with the ball. Also getting into the penalty area often too.
Remember when we beat Madrid at Wembley? he was always getting right up to their defence, pressing and instigating.
That whole platform has been ripped away and Winks was pushed back with Poch making him the deep lying player in the diamond. Yet he's not a deep lying player, he's not comfortable making forward passes when he knows no-one is behind him to cover.
He's certainly playing with shackles on and whilst I don't think he's a starter I still believe he's much better in a more advanced role.
