Doesn't everyone?
Curious to see how we line-up when we finally get Dier back too... I don't think we've ever played Sissoko as a pure DM... Which might end up meaning Dier + Sissoko OR Winks.
I think every supporter of every team has a player they really don't like, and Winks is mine. Can't score, doesn't make goals, no good defensively. Yep, he holds up the ball when we are 1-0 up with five minutes to go, BIG DEAL. To be honest, I hardly even notice him when he plays. Believe me, he will end up at Watford or such like in the next few seasons. He may as well change his name to Bentaleb, and go the whole hog.
Dembele was a terrific player for us, and his presence on the pitch. Tackling, passing, and breaking up attacks, the man was terrific. We now find ourselves almost without mid field options, but I bet we do nothing about it.
He filled in at FB once and did ok

I like Winks because he's a yid. But I tend to agree that he's not a championship-winning player. A good squad player, but not someone who wins you a title (Dembele was that player). Winks is good at what he does but doesn't do enough for me. Physically not imposing enough. Can't do much in the final third. For me you need a central midfielder who can do it all and Winks isn't that player.I think every supporter of every team has a player they really don't like, and Winks is mine.

Actually it's not.
Paulinho plays for Guangzhou Evergrande. Dembele has signed for Guangzhou R&F
