Harry Winks - Leicester City

[Nebby]

His biggest deficiency, highlighted in the game last night, is that he‘s too easy to beat. Whether it’s a timing issue, technique or lack of strength, he doesn’t seem capable of stopping or slowing down opponents, which allows them to breeze through onto our back four.

Last night he looked like he was playing for his future. There was little or no creativity coming from Lo Celso (biggest disappointment for me), and all too often Winks would try the wonder ball forward or wide, and nothing came off. He at least kept showing for the ball. Needed help last night from his creative partner in midfield and was badly let down.

You can't punish someone for refusing to leave. No matter how bad he is, he's perfectly entitled to see out his contract, whether you like it or not.

Exactly. It is the opposite of the Harry Kane situation. We are just seeing where a contract hinders or protects a player depending on the clubs position. What we need to do is get interested teams up to a certain level that is attractive to us and accept the transfer. That is the only way you can move players on really. If another club wants them enough their egos won’t be able to turn that love down.

 

[Stamford]

He has the look of someone who has given up. People just walk past him now. I know it's not a huge game but it happened last night and against Chelsea the other day. PEH would never allow that even in a friendly. Poor attitude

 

[Delboy75]

Great footballers make everything look really easy and have time on the ball. Even when Winks was at his best he was the complete opposite. It looked like he had to give every drop he had just to be at a competent level. Just an incredibly average footballer that doesn’t excel at anything and would struggle to get in a lot of Championship teams.

There are opportunities for him to go elsewhere and start afresh but he wants to stay behind to prove his worth, yet putting in such lazy and inept performances so many times when given the chances. Fucking hell, he has more than ample time already. It just speaks volumes about his mental strength and actual capability.

He has to leave. Period. Even a loan will be good, but make it 2-season loan with an obligation to buy please.

Can we see if Poch wants him?

Picturing the likes of Messi, Neymar & MBappe chomping at the bit to be playing alongside such a talent.

I’m a bit embarrassed that he even got picked as a senior player to support the young lads playing last night. He could barely pick a pass, couldn’t intercept the ball, tackle, anything.

 

[adamsky]

The Times said we are willing to sell for £40m?!? No one is offering anywhere near that for him, we should be happy to get £15m. His price must go down every time he plays.

I'm sure this will go down like a turd in a water park, but I'd happily sell him for whatever money would buy Lingard.

I turned my nose up at him in January, but he's far more of a player that we could use.

 

[Finchyid]

TBF I don’t blame him with all the hate and abuse, I personally find it disgusting that people can treat a player that is spurs through and through (unlike others) like this. I would have down tools too

Sadly, Lingard has become a meme and many people have (or did do before his spell at West Ham) forgotten that he's a perfectly cromulent player. I'd have him over Winks 100%.

Spurs through and thorugh would not of cried and whinged to the press about internal private issues within the club that could potentially destabilise the club just becuase of selfish personal conflict. Spurs through and through wouldn't of downed his tools just because he wasn't get picked (he'd of tried harder and shown it too and then some) and Spurs through and through wouldn't unfollow the club on all social media accounts (granted the last point is a tad snowflakey)

Made himself into one TBF, with that JLingz stuff.

More so with the bet that guy had, mind.

I wonder if we’d look to swap winks for lingard?

We might but united wouldn't. (ps not that id want Lingard anyway if im honest plus he is 29 in December)

If it were possible, I'd definitely do it. I think Lingard is a twat as a person--or at least how he presents himself--but as a footballer, I think he'd be very useful in the squad. Certainly more so than Winks. But I honestly can't see Utd taking Winks. He has Watford or West Brom written all over him.

I only mentioned it as they’d been linked in the past. Tenuously or not I can’t remember.

 

[DannyNZ]

Clearly not at forefront of Nuno’s plans and safe to assume he isn’t going to be getting a lot of game time.

it is not long ago at all that Winks played for England and never looked out of place. With the World Cup coming up I’d have thought Winks would back himself to make the squad, to do that he needs to be a starter. That ain’t happening at Spurs, but if he showed some ambition and got out of his comfort zone and dropped into a Villa or Everton where he was wanted. Who knows, worse players have played for England But guys permanently on the bench never do.

Lingard is a good shout - he'd really fit into our 4-3-3 formation and offer a lot more end product than Bergwijn
