Ex-Spurs Player Harry Winks

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Because when he was U23 that's when he/we were a possession-based team. and when he fitted really well in that midfield. THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT I WAS MAKING. He's good ON THE BALL, he's shit OFF THE BALL. this is his profile.

He should play in a team that's possession dominant. We aren't a dominant possession team, we haven't been so for years (including the last couple of seasons under Poch) and this was the team he came back into after his injury, totally the wrong profile for how he/we played.

A "progressive pass" is a pass that moves the ball min 10 yards (30 feet) closer to the goal than where it started or any completed pass into the opponent's penalty area.

So if Winks is 27 now this was four to five years ago?

This was the midfield that contained Wanyama, Dembele and Eriksen?

He's just shit, with or without the ball, in my honest opinion.

He should play in a team that's possession dominant.

I don't care who he plays for as long as it isn't Spurs. West Ham would be my preference.

Yes, finally!!! It was FOUR years ago, well done! (well it was even before then to be accurate but I'll take it). Almost as long ago as it's taken you to figure out what I posted!!

He doesn't play for Spurs, so why are you getting so triggered?

I'm actually quite calm brother.

I feel for the Sampdoria supporters having to endure Winks masquerading as a professional footballer.

Winks should concentrate on panto and / or punditry.

He's gone a long way on being able to speak Spanish and play golf.

In a Hemel Hempstead dialect of course

We could stage some sort of Panto for some of our failed players

Ndombelly as Mother Goose
Lo Celso as the Artful dodger etc

Hes actually not shit on the ball. Hes got good vision and can play a good pass now and then. As much as I dont want winks back ever again, when given the time and space to play, he isnt that bad. Hes just completely shit when he doesnt have the time and space to play and thats almost every match in the PL. I'd rather see Sarr play and develop than give Winks one more chance to fail with.

If Conte goes, I guarantee Winks is back in the squad next season. He won't actively leave and a new coach is unlikely to push him out. Unless Poch comes back.

Has got to go for good this summer. I see he’s picked up his performances recently in Italy. He’s 27 now and for his sake, if he actually likes to play football on a regular basis, needs to go somewhere he can play. He’s so far down the pecking order now I’d be surprised we didn’t do a Matty D this summer if a permanent move doesn’t work
 
Winks hates Conte so as long as he is here surely Winky won't be back in the squad. I don't even think Winks is that good to be honest.

I think he is too meek for the Premier League. Timid player
 


Winks is fine for a possession based team - so not appropriate for Conte or the team as currently set up.

But good to see he seems to have overcome injuries and now seen to be doing well. Hopefully leading to a decent transfer fee for him in the summer

He wasn’t terrific. He was competent, at best. Still woeful off the ball.

It’s not going to happen. He’s the Ryan Sessegnon of midfield.
