Ex-Spurs Player Harry Winks

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

I’ll never understand the level of vitriol and hate that he receives

Almost Campbell level at times it seems

Having said that it is completely ridiculous that he is still getting regular game time for us in the year 2022

That’s not his fault though
The vitriol and hate is stupid. People have crafted this narrative that he's got some kind of terrible attitude and it's complete bullshit.

Agreed. I noticed him turn and clap the away supporters as they went on to the pitch the other night. He’s just not good enough for a team with PL trophy ambitions, not even as a sub.

Nice guy, but please for the love of god move him on.

I think it stems from him leaking stuff to the press and complaining when he doesn't get a game.

When you're a competition winner like he is you should be grateful to be out of the limelight. Why kick up a fuss to play so you can expose your true level time and again?
 
The myth that he is a massive fan of the club and tries his heart out is at complete odds with all the interviews he gives and how he actually plays.

He doesn't put his body on the line for a tackle. Nearly every goal we concede he is on the edge of the scrum or box waving his arms about. He doesn't sprint back to throw his head at a goal line clearance.

And as for his constant interviews it is always about himself and how he is always surprised about being out of the team and threatening to go elsewhere for game time. The only time he talks about the team is in a passive aggressive way the undermines the manager or his team mates. A bigger fuss isn't made about it because he gives so many.
 
Tony Soprano the complete cretin is completely obsessed.

Oh look who's crawling out from under his rock. Seems like you're obsessed with me aren't you dickhead? Even though you claim to have me on ignore.

As i am on your ignore list how about you mind your own fucking business you fucking idiot?
 
That's bullshit though, innit..... Always was.


Being eager to play doesn't make you a rat, a cunt or a fraud.
He has an option to leave for playing time at another club.

The problem here is that Winks wants his playing time at this club, even when it affects the result, and performance of the team negatively. Oblivious to his own shit performance. If you're a true fan, when it comes to conflict of interest, you should prefer better result for the club than your own interest "playing for the club". It's both big picture beneficial on both personal and professional interest . Only fraud selfishly prioritizes self serving when everyone else suffer.

Put it this way. This guy is supposed to be Spurs through and through, he's supposed to know the club very well. When he senselessly complains to his tabloid friends about playing time, other players who has little to none Spurs connection would feel justified to do the same thing. The culture at this club went to shit, as players know that they can outlast the managers and continue with their shitty performance at the initial stage of the new manager. The vicious cycle repeat itself when the new manager again drop them.

If they act up like that, then as Barcelona, Real Madrid show, the supporters find a solution to deal with the diva by booing the shit out of them. Club legend or not. We don't really want to head that way, but desperate time requires drastic measure. These fraud of a player better know their place.
 
.....Or seeing that he's still under contract with us; stay and fight for a spot here.

He chose this option. That doesn't make him a rat, cunt. fraud, wanker etc.
Professionally, player can put in a transfer request, while staying away from the press. Not rare for player to leave club on mutual consent without the clubs playing the remaining contract years.

Yes, he chose. So it's a fair game for the supporters to have their say on his decision to stay and publicly complain about lack of playing time.

Fighting for the spot professionally is preforming to the standard. Harmstringing the team on the pitch, and blackmailing with complaint publicly when dropped; that smells like political self serving rat.
 
He's definitely trigger happy with his interviews when he's out of the team. Strange tactic for someone who should know he's not good enough.

The OG interview that got this clown show up and running was during some international spell or another and focused on what he needed to do to get back in the England squad.....

The last interview he gave was recent when he was getting more game-time and suddenly the haters twisted every fucking word to be something untoward regarding his team-mates and manager.

Soz mate.. It's all bollocks that's just been given credence and momentum by those that dislike the bloke.


(Defoe used to blab to the Sun every time he found himself in a spell on the bench... No-one called him a rat cunt. Rose did the dirty on all his colleagues and his manager on the eve of a new season; still many rushed to forgive him because they liked him or thought "good on him for sticking it to Levy".)

He simply doesn't deserve the kind of shit and abuse he receives.

Opinion on his performance levels is one thing..... Bull-shitting and ludicrously going as far as accusing him of "blackmail" is quite another.

Get a grip.
 
I seem to remember that clearly clueless armchair foreign fan Ryustupidname comparing fucking Carlos Vinicius with Benzema previously.

No one is saying he's a fucking brilliant player, but this shite is well over the top.

Foreign? I wish we had more 'foreign' fans rather than closet racist little pond-life like you.

Crawl back under your rock and shut up.
