He is 3rd in the league for most tackles. The ability for a team to 'win the ball back' is also crucial when trying to control the game. He is leagues ahead of Winks.

So we don't go for him because one day he might go somewhere bigger??
Not only does our board lack ambition, we as fans are shot of it too.
We don't have enough cash to spend £50m in a position we don't need to urgently improve, just because you bizarrely believe Hojbjerg is only as good as Winks.
I'd flog Moura and Lamela to buy Buendia and maybe Olise. I agree on the back up forward as well, if Bale stays and we have Son as well do we really need one with a progressive coach that doesn't need a target man? Scarlett can get Europa minutes if needs be. If we're in the dreaded Euro conference i wouldn't include any first team players at all.
This comment would make sense if Winks had ever "won the ball back" in his career.
No, it's just an unrealistic transfer. He's apparently set on one more year at Ajax before making his move.

No the idea is that if you have a player it doesn't matter, you get better by improving on them.
We don't have unlimited budget. We have Skipp coming back to compete with Hojbjerg for DM position. We do not need a third player competing for that spot when we urgently need a RB & CB.
If you think Winks is as good as Hojbjerg, you don't have a clue, sorry to say it.
I haven't seen anything special from him yet. It's mostly hyperbole as far as I can see.
The problem with the backup st is finding someone good enough but is prepared to sit on the bench 90% of the time .
A decent centre mid who can hold on to the ball and find a pass is just as urgent imo.
I think that would actually help take the focus off our defence as we wouldn't continually be giving the ball away and soaking up pressure.
Fair, but perhaps we already have the answer to that in Skipp?
An Oxymoron
It's not poor coaching but that he got figured out.
The more games you play, the more the opposition know about your strength and weaknesses, and act accordingly.
Cannot see spending £30m on right back is a good idea.
My expectations are so low I would take:
Out - Aurier, Davies, Doherty, Lucas, Sissoko and Winks
In - Aaron’s, Skipp, Olise + two other championship talents
it’s the outs that are critical as much as the ins
Chelsea fans I know hate him which says a lot
This is the general feeling around the club now isn't it.
All of my spurs friends see the club as 'same old spurs' and now we've reached a mountain peak before being forced back down to reality. Levy has had a lot of luck in the success of modric, berbatov, bale, kane and alli.
I wonder if there's something to be said for whether a player is worth more money if they're a "diamond in the rough" surrounded by an incomplete, weak squad. It gives us a better negotiation position as the club is heavily reliant on that one player.
Adam Armstrong or gonzalez we need a pacier alt to kane
Boring....with stupid hair....
