Still not entirely convinced he is any better than Tom Carroll. (who I really liked)
Don't mind Winks, but he's yet to really make a big impression.

Subjectivity is great isn't it...
John Hartson on BT commentary put Winks up there with Son for motm (behind Dele) but others think he was poor/average.

I also thought Winks had a good game today. He was carrying the ball a lot more than usual I thought and looked quite confident. Haven't read the negatives but I will go into the ratings thread now.
If we ignore how they were developed and handled and judge purely on what they did for the first team Winks has been loads more effective. Winks knits the play together very well. When you say you're not convinced he's any better it depends what you mean. If you're expecting him, to pull of great passes and show quality vision to create chances you won't get it. You're obviously comparing what you saw of them at u23 level, and Carroll showed a bit of it in the EL for us. However, Winks all round play is a lot better, and he has the ability and potential to nail himself on as a start for the forseeable future, unless we buy someone World Class

I think he is capable of doing this. We saw it prior to his injury lay off more. I don't think the current cm pairing options do him too many favours personally. But he has adapted, always the sign of.a.good midfielder.
So I think maybe I'm very cautious to belive the hype around Winks. I think IF Spurs were to buy a CM, out of Winks, Sissoko and Dier (the 3 guys currently occupying the CM spots) I believe it would be Winks who would lose the most minutes.

He reminds me of mark noble ( at his best) a tidy player who when on song is key. But never going to be world class
I said earlier to a pal he plays like a better version of Mark Noble.
He doesn’t have to be world class to be part of a top side though. Consistency and having a class partner or two in there with him could make all the difference.
I agree , I was just hoping for another Harry Kane type product who is just unreal.
Makes you wonder how Barcelona produce so many world class talents so effortlessly season after season

For instance....compare Winks to a similar player that Barca are bringing through in Puig (who we've been linked to before he signed a new deal)....Puig will develop into a world class talent based on what he's been put through in their academy that has that proven tracked record of producing talent. Part of it is down to the player to take opportunities and produce but the main part is being coached the right way. Not to say the coaches at Spurs arent doing that, but they arent on Barca's level
That was true of Barca but who is the world class talent they have produced in say the last 3 or 4 years ?
