To me he's at his best when he's assisting the assister. A role he can't really focus while being asked to shield the back four. Something he's not suited.
Not all people! I've rated him very highly ever since his debut.
If anything, signing PEH should help Winks to excel - as long as he gets to play. I do think he's more suited to playing with a proper CDM, rather than as the deepest CM. Dier was playing CDM for his lauded performance against Real Madrid, whereas a week earlier, when he was decent but far less impressive, he was instead playing alongside Sissoko.
Knew someone would use this excuse which is actually totally incorrect! Watch yourself 8 times out of 10 the pass is on early but he takes too many touches and the defence get into shapeWatch when he receives the ball, his head is up looking forward, it's not his fault there's no movement in front of him.
Keep Winks, buy GrealishWinks out, grealish in
On a personal level I would like us to keep Winks as a squad player. But he’s not good enough to start for us if we have ambitions to be an elite team again and if we received an offer north of £40m then I would sell and reinvest in RB area and backup ST. Sells himself defensively far too often and doesn’t offer enough creativity in the final third. He is a great player to bring on when you are seeing a game out because he’s very tidy on the ball. Skipp has a far greater ceiling in my opinion. If we do sell Winks we must not loan Skipp.
how is this come from? mourinho almost starts winks every gameI can see Guardiola turning Winks into the English Xavi.
I think Winks would be well up for this move as his game doesn't suit our current manager's philosophy.
