Difference being Winks can tackle while Scholes, despite being an excellent player, never could!
He was quite frankly embarrassing!
Woah there, sailor. I like Winks and think that he does everything right which is why he's so respected but he's no Paul Scholes yet.
I'm not saying that he is
Just saying that he can make a tackle while Scholes couldn't that's all!
Scholes had a lot of good qualities but tackling wasn't one of them!
Matelot
He was one of those rare players that didn't need to. He always tracked his man and blocked off the one on one duel on purpose. He was practically given the ball by opponents.
Like yourself, I always support my players. But to say Winks is better than Barkley at current level is a little unfair to Barkley. Base on what?
That's a kind take on it!
Winks and Barkley have different roles in the team, they would not compete for the same shirt.
Everybody told me Tripps was better than
Walker. They tell you anything till he's signs
Or he remains crap if he goes to the chavs.
This talk about Winks being the next big thing for us, so let's not sign anyone in his position reminds me of when Arsen Wenger would justify his transfer market malaise. He'd say that he could sign a new midfielder, but it would "kill Denilson". Denilson did a pretty good job of that himself by being rubbish.
If Winks is going to be good enough for us, he should have to prove it against world class competition for his place. A few very decent cameo appearances so far suggests he may become great, but there's always a chance of regression.

Ok. Mr.Cooper. Whatever.
Btw, you did realise Mick Cooper is an anagram of Prime Cock when you chose it?.
Well, nearly.
He did need to tackle properly but couldn't which was he never became a great player but he was a very good one and if Winks progresses he could well be a pivotal player for us especially under Poch!
That's all I'm saying as I've got great hopes for the lad
Not this again.Mick Cooper do you actually believe John Thomas is my real name?
Do you think I walk around the real world in a purple tie and pegs clipped on me cheeks too
I always had you down as a red tie man like Jeremy Corbyn!
I could take that as a thinly veiled Gooner accusation. The ultimate insult. I'll assume otherwise though.
Perish the thought!
I could have added other descriptions of Jeremy like a Poundshop Che Guevara
Anyway I can see that you have your hands full with the biting wit of Mr Cooper
Penisboy???

:dembelewtf:
He's 21, and playing in the most difficult position on the pitch with confidence and his vision and passing range are already superior to Dier's in my opinion.
He is tenacious in the tackle, and has all the attributes to be a Modric type but with Scott Parkers aggression.
Yes, he's still young and learning...so why stifle it and spend money on an injured and quite frankly vey average player that also needs developing by Poch. Barkley is a project, so in that sense Winks is already streets ahead.
The question on my lips isnt what has Winks proven, but has Barkley done that so many, Poch included, want him.
I see basically James Milner, only with less impact on a game.
What a ridiculous comparison.
As for the "coming on when everyone else is fucked", funny because I thought we were all pining after quality back up so our squad could compete......now it seems you dont need quality on the bench after all.
Just sign Charlie Adam then and bring him on when the oppo is tired....
:lennon:
The entire team failed that game, bizarre to pick out Winks.....not sure how you know what Poch told him to do either but there you go.....we played a dangerously inept highline indicating the plan was to press Burnley back into their half.
I saw nothing that suggested Winks should have been covering the back 4 who were already sitting on the halfway line.
Its not premature, because the guy has what it takes...he just inexperienced. Winks will develop a lot faster if he's used. Again, I point to Barkley, and wonder what makes him better, other than he's played more PL games, so obviously has more goals etc.
Plus, he's one of our own....you cant buy that.
Don't signpost it with yer just kidding suffix. Live by it, Spanish. Be bold with it. Say it through grinding teeth with hatred on your breath.
I'd prefer that.
