I'd be happy to be proven wrong, but I strongly suspect the kids are in no way shape or form any better.
If anything, they may well be worse.

Fair point but we don't know about those players.

Winks is a known entity and has been for years. Last night was screaming out for a sub. I can't imagine many other managers allowing that trainwreck to continue for as long as it did. And it has been evident for weeks now. It reeks of pigheadedness.

Frankly I don't give a shit how much Conte trusts him because it cost us a run at the FA Cup and if he doesn't wake up will cost him his job.
 
Yall are terrible people if I had a young soccer playing Son I'd tell him not to follow his dream of playing for his boy hood club. Just because the way you posted anonymously on the internet about Harry Winks!

Fuck that I'm going round the neighbours and telling their soccer playing sons to give up too!! 🥺🥺🥺😭😭

Oh the humanity!!!

So, people complain that we keep Winks and bin off N’Dombele and LoCelso (who, extrapolating their prior FA Cup heroics, would have provided about the same performance as Winks).
All have a bilateral contract.
How do we get rid of Harry Winks? He makes 65 grand a week or so, playing or not playing for his boyhood club in his hometown where he can be close to family and speak his native tongue in one of the world’s greatest cities. If we drop him then it’s not like he’s going to miss out on the international setup. If he moves, he’ll have to take a deep pay cut, and move away (potentially to a foreign country). Even a loan would see him lose out in some way.

Compare that to LoCelso: a loan or move would probably be to a friendlier and familiar environment —like Spain where he can speak his native tongue — and and if he plays consistently then he’ll be involved in his international team’s buildup to the World Cup. We actually have leverage over GLC and he’s probably happy to move.

Similarly, N’Dombele with his loan move to France even if he’s a very long shot to make the French national team. In this case, the impression that I got was that he couldn’t get out of Dodge quick enough.
It’s clear that Conté didn’t trust either of them which would have meant that they would have got limited minutes and we would be left trying to move rapidly depreciating assets in summer. Moving them in January was the best long-term move for the team even if it means short-term pain.

We’ll only move Winksy if he wants to go — I don’t know that I would — and if we bring in a better homegrown player.

Leave him in reserves and dont renew his contract
 
I’ve actually got a lot of respect and admiration for Harry Winks.

The fact that he has managed to blag his way to a long term, £50k a week contract given the fact that he possesses no discernible footballing talent is phenomenal.
