Let me repeat what I said previously as you seem incapable of understanding a basic argumentThis is funny, why are you using this theoretical cup final as an example? You totally miss the point about being picked over a selection of matches, being readily available, being fit, being receptive to what the manager wants etc...
What you're referring to is quality/abilities - I'm pretty sure you won't find one Spurs fan that will say that Winks is a better payer than the other two but football doesn't work like that, we've not playing FIFA here.
You can argue all you want but you sad yourself that he's not good enough to play in a top 4 team yet he's still here getting mins, doesn't matter what I or you say this is the reality of the situation.
‘The fact that he is the 5th best CM we have today and gets game time doesn’t mean Jose thinks he is good enough, just that he is what we have’
And you have been repeatedly describing Winks as ‘ahead’ of GLC and Ndombele, but then you yourself concede that is a reflection of fitness and nothing else. The cup final example is to show that Winks would be nowhere near our full strength, everyone available team. I very much doubt he’d be on the bench.
Teams have weaknesses they need to improve on. Do you think Liverpool’s CBs before VVD signed were top 4 standard, because no one else did. They still made the top 4. I’d love winks to improve but today I don’t see a player good enough for where we want to get to. The fact he gets minutes when Gio and Tanguy aren’t available doesn’t change that
