Good, the further away they go, the better. Harry Winks hanging on like a bad smell.

Much as I understand the reasons its pretty sad
What's the reasons?

Edit: Pro-tip before asking questions, everyone: Reading the article helps. "having been told the head coach can only work with a certain number of players"

Has he?

I mean I'm not saying he isn't, but just because something doesn't hit the tabloids doesn't mean it hasn't happened.
Interesting comments Trix, it just shows what does the everyday fan know what actually goes on inside a club.

Reggies fall from grace is somewhat bemusing... A few months ago we were all afraid that Real would trigger their buy-back clause. Now we're actively trying to shift him of our own accord and there seem to be few takers...

Hardly worthy of a headline , it's happened at other clubs before , these four are not going to be involved in tactics , set pieces etc so it makes sense that they are not involved with the main squad.

It's just one of those things, sometimes stuff happens that never comes out. I know a few bits about a player at the moment that no one can understand why he isn't playing(not one of ours). Fans can't understand it, but it's totally justified imo.

They could end up anywhere, and having them know Conte's training and systems wouldn't do us any favours either. Seems a bit punitive on the face of it but there'll be reasons.

I noticed something with his play last season under conte which surprised me. His first touch and control was actually quite poor and resulted in him wasting good opportunities when we countered. You wouldnt expect that from a spaniard. At times, he looked like he wanted to run ahead of the ball. Its a shame really, i thought he would be the one to really shine under Conte but obviously not.

Lol, such a tease. Regardless, thank you for everything you do.

But sure, I imagine winks and reguilon are pretty pissed off.
Lo celso knows he is going to end up somewhere decent. Ndom I suspect just couldn't care less.

I have absolutely no time for comments like this. Grow up.
What's growing up got to do with it? Winks had his chances and blew it. He's not good enough and never will be. His comments in the past about 'having' to play in the Europa League were a disgrace.

He's the one who needs to grow up, accept he's Championship level at best and accept whatever offers come in for him, instead of moping around, praying people get injured and he gets another chance. It's pathetic.

Lo Celso must be desperate for a move with world cup on the horizon , same as Stevie he will want game time in the run up.
Winks & N'dombele have no chance of world cup call ups , does Reggie have a chance of getting there I don't really follow international football but he surely won't if he is stuck at Hotspur Way.

Pre-Conte we didn't know our arse from our elbow. We had no plan, no structure to building a team. We were so poor that Reggie probably did seem like an elite player. Enter Conte, our standard increased and those who fell behind are not good enough now to win things.
