Ex-Spurs Player Harry Winks

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

My take on Winks. Not good enough. Gets particularly exposed in a midfield two.

But we should lay off him - he tries and that's all we can ask. Fault lies with the club for not recruiting better players who'd ensure he doesn't play.

Reminds me of 90s and 2000s when we had plenty of players like this. Justin Edinburgh (RIP) made 213 league appearances but was mid table standard on a good day, often worse. He played anyway because we failed to recruit anyone better.

Hopefully Skipp, Bentancur and at least one more summer signing in midfield will mean we don't need to rely on Winks so much.
 
I hope this pathetic excuse of a footballer has nothing to do with our club next season.

Gets paid a fortune and does nothing but plod about and avoid as much of the game as possible.

Anyone that defends him now after this long needs to go follow another sport
 
This is just the player he is unfortunately. But I think it's unfair to think he doesn't care/try. We'd forgive him the defensive weakness if his playmaking made up for it.

He doesn’t care

He doesn’t try

He can’t even carry out a decent strategic foul

No redeeming features whatsoever
 
Ndombele is a better example of someone who didn't care enough. Winks tries. It's his boyhood club. He's just not that kind of player, and yes, not good enough overall either.
You’re quite correct about Ndombelly and you could have added LoCelso but my opinion of Winks stands

Too many times when Winks invariably loses the ball he either commits a ridiculous foul or just trots back after the player who dispossessed him
