My point was to get a better explanation rather than a response of "it's my view".can't be arsed to argue or be rude to anyone... my view is Winks was good but not amazing. I felt he gave the ball away to cheaply too many times as did Sanchez, also we were battered for 60 mins.. don`t understand the euphoria I still think we have a lot of improving to do.. I trust Jose to get things right but we will see how the season goes.
If I had to choose one of Lo Celso, Ndombele or Winks to play CM alongside a proper DCM then Harry would not be the first choice for me.
If you play Lo Celso, Ndombele and Winks together, do you need a DCM? As Lo Celso and Winks break up the play and I am sure Ndombele will/does as well! As long as they all out in the effort it gives all 3 freedom to attack or sit back if the other 2 go forward and doesn't limit they way we set up.

we are not going to sign a pure DM though, at least those midfielders we are linked to are not pure DMs (e.g. Soumare)If I had to choose one of Lo Celso, Ndombele or Winks to play CM alongside a proper DCM then Harry would not be the first choice for me.
So, from that Sunday Supplement video posted earlier we have evidence that his peers at the highest level who play with and against him talk about how good he is, and we know that three world class managers in Pochettino, Pep, and Jose, two of them among the greatest ever, have either spoken about how highly they rate him or have shown it. Yet we still have a few utter morons on here and on Twitter who don't rate him.
It's the same as it's always been. If you don't rate Harry Winks, the problem is not with Winks, it's with your understanding of the game. Instead of being quick to post about how he's not good enough, how about you step back, have some self-awareness, and consider why it is that people who have forgotten more about football than you will ever know think he's so good because if you actually understand football, you rate Harry Winks.
I wouldn’t rack your brain, nobody’s ever going to ask you to choose.
Luckily for me this is a thread to discuss our opinions on Harry Winks and not one for hoping that the mighty Spurrific gives permission to actually pick the team. Really find it bizarre that rather than actually contribute to the discussion and give your own opinion you choose to be negative to fellow fans instead. Nice chap.
Just haven't been around here for a while. I'd like to say when I decided to check out SC again that I was surprised to see people like yourself still wheeling out the same garbage about Winks, but then I remembered the laughable nonsense that you used to spout about him on the regular and I was no longer surprised. I see your football knowledge is as woefully inadequate as the last time I was here.Have you been waiting for about a year since his last half decent performance to post that? Ridiculous.

I'm just delighted to hear that his peers at the highest level talk about how good he is and that our new manager, one of the greatest of all time, obviously rates him, just as our former world class manager did. It means I can continue to see one of the best young midfielders in the world strut his stuff for Spurs, while sitting and back and laughing as people like yourself continue to look like fools.
One of the best young midfielders in the world? Ahahaha. You do realise GLC and Ndombele are both younger than Winks right? And they are clearly a class above Winks...
So much energy and effort spend for such a negative purpose... Harry Winks is one of our own. He may not be your cup of tea and he may not be in our best 11 long term, but he always gives his all, doesn't kick up a fuss and still has a huge part to play this season, and a few more after that I imagine. To slag him off like this...
So far we have options at CM (midfield 3) of Dele, GLC, NDombele, Winks, Gedson, Sissoko, Dier, so 7 players for 3 positions. If Jose does want another DM that will be 8 into 3. No matter how you cut it we are over stocked there so choices have to be made. It will be between Dier, Sissoko and Winks who goes... and what do we really do with Dele?

I don't think it is worth including Alli in that group. Whilst theoretically he could be moved there at a pinch, he's woefully ineffective and struggles when played deep. His best attributes are totally negated and his worst attributes are really exposed. I just don't see Mourinho including Alli in his pool of CM options.
Jetset said Mourinho doesn't want another DM
