Winkinho
I think you mean Winkito. "-inho" is Portuguese.
Likely to happen then, Ballbag hasn't got a clue
It would be Winkito. I actually wasn't equating him to a Spaniard (though I just realized the conversation above was about him being "Spanish" :sheepish look
. I just think it would be a clever name if he was known as our Winkinho piggy backing off of Scott).It would be Winkito. I actually wasn't equating him to a Spaniard (though I just realized the conversation above was about him being "Spanish" :sheepish look
Ah ok.
I don't think our midfield has fond connotations with any "inho" players though
:avbshock:
aulinhobored:No but he basically plays like a stud Brazilian. He should get the nickname on the basis of that.Ah ok.

Cheers mate. Much better, biggest problem of the other one was he wasn't being pressed, got loads of time on the ball, so doesn't showcase him that well.
The most important English midfield player since Scholes; he doesn't just see the picture, he paints it. Mediocre opposition, but he plays exactly the same against everyone.
He's already lightyears ahead of Henderson, Drinkwater and the other national team midfielders in terms of ball retention and purposeful possession; Southgate should be looking to implement and cultivate a diamond consisting of Dier, Alli, Winks, and Barkley, with Walker and Rose providing the width from fullback and Kane + 1 up front.

I love him as much as the next guy, but we've gotta be pretty careful with hyperbole like this.
We'd be mocking Woolwich fans if they were talking similarly about a player with the same number of league minutes under his belt...
Depends how cynical they are. They could recognise his potential and try to lock him down by giving him 2 minutes.
I don't see it personally though.
He's got the Parker 360 turn down pat already.
...does it in under 5 mins too! :vert:
Not in a million years.
But I also don't think the Spanish team would ever have called up the likes of Gerrard and Lampard either and they turned out to have some excellent careers.
It's been confirmed that he cannot actually play for Spain because it was his great grandparents who were Spanish.
IIt's the case of Winks is brilliant as an English talent but there are probably 10 or 20 Harry Winks' in the Spanish youth teams etc.

He's an excellent prospect.
