I understand football and have played professionally. I thought I'd say that based on some opinions that if you don't think Winks is world class then you don't know football.
I like Winks. I like his tenacity. But comparisons to iniesta or modric are absolutely ridiculous, regardless of his injury. He's a decent player. Would any of the other big clubs in England buy him? No. Would any other big clubs in Europe buy him? No.
I would love him to surpass what I think he can do, but for me he's a Ryan Mason. Who I also liked because of his tenacity. At best maybe a Scott Parker in his prime, but he's a hell of a way to go to get to that level.
Winksy is a Spurs lad and I love that. I also think it's important for first team players to understand Spurs like he does.
He’s not world class. We don’t know what level he can reach but he’s certainly got the talent to be an influential player for us
