Why can't Harvey White be this "squad player" instead of Winks..if there is even a 15M offer in January from Newcastle.. he should be soldI don't understand the hate towards one of our own. He's solid squad player and I would keep him if there isn't 40M price tag included.
Doubt he'll leave - prob happy to do a LamelaWhy can't Harvey White be this "squad player" instead of Winks..if there is even a 15M offer in January from Newcastle.. he should be sold
He did say he wants playing time so that he isn't ignored for the national team.Doubt he'll leave - prob happy to do a Lamela
Those Southgate call-ups have really thrown him into delusion - same for Declan Rice, Rashford, Mount, etc.He did say he wants playing time so that he isn't ignored for the national team.
A loan-to-compulsory-buy-option sounds like how the story would go with his January move

Hate is maybe harsh, but you're here after every match.Evidence?
I've seen West Ham's last 4/5 games and Declan Rice had been excellent. He'd start for us over Sissoko, Mourinho would love him. Mount is a good player as well. Rashford won't ever be an elite player but to call him horribly average isn't correct, he has lots of ability.Those Southgate call-ups have really thrown him into delusion - same for Declan Rice, Rashford, Mount, etc.
Horribly average players part of a horribly average manager's system

Winks is the most mid-table of the four.
Ah look, no doubt. English mark up. But he's really good and not yet 22. City spent 60m on Rodri, Liverpool close to 50m on a 25yo Fabinho.The thing with Rice is:
PEH: 13m
RICE: 50-60m (est.)

If Rice improves he can be a similar level of player. Great engine, good tackle, improving his reading of game, ditto passing, can carry the ball, strong in the air, bit of leadership quality about him.
Sure.... Due to how underwhelming Rodri has been, I'd forgotten how expensive he was.
Generally 60m still a lot of money for a young DM that is still in the early development stages of their career. I know you didn't mention him in such a context, but I suspect we'd be looking to shop around a bit more in seeking such a profile of player for our squad and similarly I'd like to think that, like PEH, other such players are out there to be found.
I just don't rate him, that's all.Hate is maybe harsh, but you're here after every match.
Even yesterday you wrote "found his level"
What that tells me you don't like him, you are gonna find every oportunity to shit on him.
Why?
