Winks would be the (second?) highest earner at Sampdoria.
It’s not all about the fee. Wages are an issue on every one of our European loans. They’ll all require players to take large pay cuts or subsidies IF the player is agreeable to a move.

Cost of living is lower in a lot of continental Europe. Aside from Paris or Munich, I can't think of a city that has prices anywhere near London.
It's just British kids being uncomfortable with sunny weather and a philosophy of work to live, not live to work, that makes those loans difficult.

But PEH isn’t Spurs!
Or maybe it’s a case of Thursday night in London is a lot more fun than Thursday night in Rennes or Genoa and all the signs are in English.Cost of living is lower in a lot of continental Europe. Aside from Paris or Munich, I can't think of a city that has prices anywhere near London.

Yup. But in my 30s, I'd rather live in rennes or Genoa with my family. Self preference.

I don't think the cost of living is much of a concern for Premier League level footballers.
That account surely has never watched Winks off the ball... Winks is actually a decent footballer with the ball no one will deny that. But off the ball he has so many obvious problems. And then of course there is the attitude issues...
Agreed. He was generally fine under Poch as a third midfielder until we changed to the diamond and put him at the base. He will never be able to do that job.
He keeps the ball moving neatly and that’s all he can do, asking him to do any more than that is crazy.
Spot on he's also not physical enough.
What attitude issues? Did I miss something?
Agreed. Best of luck to him. Just anywhere far from here.
2 minutes of Winks passing the ball backwards, sideways or to the nearest player.
Laughable if that's a highlight reel. It doesn't have any highlights.
Serie B by the looks of things.
Home sweet home
