Qualify that.
I suspect the reason Winks gets games under each new coach, is that those coaches have only seen the odd highlight reel of him until they joined.
Us fans, we see every minute of every match. Good or bad. We're at the games, we're watching the whole match on TV, we're streaming it on dodgy Arab TV risking our Internet security and criminal records.
The likes of Mourinho and Conte rock up and they probably haven't seen a great deal of many of our players. But asCollyQC says, many a pundit waxed lyrical about Winks and how good he is so the coaches give him a go. And he may turn up as in Liverpool 2-2
But it doesn't last long and he regresses back to hiding in games and then gets dropped.
If he can just somehow outlast the coach, the cycle will repeat.
Beyond ironic - zero self awareness - you just claimed Winks should be here till 35 and manage us
Another of my issues with the mob. Turning any issue about the lad to use as a stick to beat him with.

Beyond cretin level assessment
It is weird. He is a home grown player that showed some promise first couple of seasons but hasn't kicked on and probably should have been sold 18 months ago. He certainly needs to be sold this summer for everyones benefit. As someone said he doesnt pick himself and its not his fault we havent replaced him in the squad properly. I reckon we'll get £15m to £20m for him. What is there to hate?
Haha took me off ignore did you. I'll say what i want about vermin like you.
So anyone not good enough should be booed game in game out? I'd happily sell a dozen of our players and Winks along with Doherty and Sanchez would probably be top of that list but not sure what purpose giving them grief serves. If they're not good enough i'm sure Conte can see it without our help.
I've never bood a player person, just feels wrong. But I understand when people pay a lot of money to watch the same players make the same mistakes on a yearly basis. Its not like he hasn't had several seasons here without being bood.
Dont get me wrong i dont rate him at all and i want him sold, as i did last summer. His very brief revival under Conte ( 2 or 3 half decent games) has clearly ended and he's reverted to type. But i dont agree with the dogs abuse he gets. He's a home grown Tottenham fan that will net us a few million quid when sold. We're not an ordinary side because Harry Winks is still at the club but because of dreadful decisions and scouting over 5 years.
