Ex-Spurs Player Harry Winks

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Ah i thought you meant the other 3 seniors to his junior.

I thought Dele and Locelso werent as bad as people made out. We were a mess tactically while having to carry the fattie in the middle who was barely putting in any effort.

Until the subs we barely had a MF...... Zero ball retention..... Most passes falling short.... Easily pressed...... Slow/non-existent ball progression..... Europa syndome.

Current MF tiers:

1. Skipp.
2. No-one
3. PEH/Skipp
4. No-one
5. TN/GLC/Dele

Locelso, dele and ndombele are all the same age as winks though. I wouldnt call them seniors compared to him . In any case,all 4 were shit though, a cross that fluked in doesnt change that. And with Hojberg being terrible as well, we are really struggling in the CM position.
We have to try something drastic. I fully expect PEH to start the next two and we will lose…. Which will break the camels back. Perhaps Dier with Skipp assuming we sign a CB and Romero returns. Fuck knows

Winks was ok today, and he is coming back from a dark spell of poor form. I’m excited about Winks at the moment

Cant believe i'm saying this but i'd go Winks and Skipp against the goons. We really do need Kessie this window or someone like that. Ideally we need 2 new CM's with a deep lying playmaker as well (Brozovic/Neves).
 
So i see you are in complete agreement with me that the only way to fix all our problems is by announcing Adama Traore!!
I would sign him. He’s not great but he will add something different, even from the bench. That said, there are four players I want us to sign and focus on. Pau Torres, Bissouma, Lamptey and Vlahovic. Would give us a platform a la Vert, Toby, Dembele etc from five years ago

Id happily invest in those too. But I dont think we will spend that much anytime soon.
 
Last summer felt he should have been one of the first out the door but he's done alright so far under Conte and is contributing so lets see in the summer. I sort of feel he's a bit like Sanchez, Hojbjerg, Davies in that longterm you want to do much better but we have so many shitters to sell first we need a few for the squad.

Yep. And we all know the club are too cowardly to make many changes at once...or at all.

Today showed that he still has a place in the squad against lower league oppo. Of which we will always be facing in every season and we can't run Skipp out every match.
 
Winks and Skipp is our best midfield right now.

Lloris
Sanchez Dier Davies
Emerson Winks Skipp Reguilon
Lucas Kane Son

Is our best formation right now unfortunately. I really prefer 3 midfielders but after today's performance, you can't trust anyone else in midfield at the moment.

3-4-3 is not our best formation at all.

Wanks in our midfield is not our best MF either.
