Yeah I think Conte has described Winks as solid before. That's not good enough for a club with our ambitions, hence he's out.Solid?

If you are going to be crap , always best to be solid
Yep...but Bissouma is still a much better one.
It's ridiculous, isn't it.....
All the way up until we hired him, Conte was talked up as some behemoth alpha male with balls of steel that would kick Levy's ass and cause a riot at the slightest hint of compromise.
What was the well worn phrase d'jour?
"Levy has nowhere to hide"
Lo and behold; as soon as it suits the agenda-trolls, (just like it did in January) Conte get's re-cast as some simpering little pussy that dare not speak his mind and lies in his pressers to avoid creating friction.

Could argue both ways and neither opinion would be wrong, nor objective.
Like a solid floater that never flushes away, quietly resurfaces when least expected
Hold on what Bissouma and Zinchenko. I mean Doherty isnāt a bad player but I wouldnāt compare him to James or TAA. Bissouma has been in his position one of the best players in the premier league, Zinchenko isnāt a bad player and may work in the gooner system but player for player that is not a compare.
Yes. Biggest hurdle for sure.
..........hmmmmm
Never ceases to amaze me how many people have no idea what the word 'fact' means. The fact (Get yourself a dictionary.
) that he even used the term 'objective facts' for something which anyone with two brain cells could recognise is his opinion makes it even more laughable. It's as if people think their opinion holds more credibility if they call it a 'fact' - failing to realise that in fact of course it does the opposite, as anyone with any intelligence is unlikely to be swayed on anything by someone who doesn't understand what 'facts' are. :/I very much doubt that
Iām just embarrassed that youāre an alleged Spurs fan
Another part for the ignore list
Bye
Thank you for confirming my belief - person not intelligent enough to explain himself in civil way, despite numerous calls for it.
For the record I will not ignore you, this is reserved for grade a touches...
He seems to be another of these players that simps for the name-value of clubs..... I mean, he wants to stay at Barca despite them treating him like absolute dirt.
I think it's safe to assume that with equal offers on the table from us, Chavs and United he'd be interested in us the least.
When I abuse someone- it's always warranted and fair.
Don't think Skipp ever played for Mou, as he was at Norwich in 20/21. Woulda thought PEH would be the Mou request considering how absolutely dependent Jose was on PEH. In fairness, PEH played his best under him too.
Solid is a complimentary term I use to describe my shits.
Tottenham outcast 'wants to stay in Premier League' but Serie A club 'dream' of signing him
Tottenham Hotspur outcast Harry Winks reportedly 'wants to stay in the Premier League' amid reported interest from Serie A side Sampdoria.

Tottenham Hotspur outcast Harry Winks reportedly āwants to stay in the Premier Leagueā amid reported interest from Serie A side Sampdoria.
Winks progressed through the ranks at Tottenham. Since making his senior debut, most of his time has been spent as a bit-part player.
The midfielder featured 31 times in the Premier League during 2019/20 campaign but he has fallen down the pecking order since then.
Speaking in 2018, in his infinite wisdom, Danny Murphy suggested that England should build their midfield around Winks.
This has obviously not come to pass as Winks has not played for England since 2020.
The playerās situation at Tottenham has not improved since Antonio Conte took over. If anything, itās got worse.
Winks is one of the players Spurs are looking to offload this summer. Everton were initially interested but Frank Lampard appears to have pulled the plug on the deal.
Conte is renowned for his short stays in charge of football clubs. Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher thinks Tottenham need to be wary of this:
āThereās something about Spurs and Conte. I think we all know and Conte knows, he doesnāt stay around too long,ā Carragher said (via The Spurs Web).
āSo, if he is going to do something, then he needs to do it quickly. I think he will know it in his own head. I donāt see Conte being at Spurs in more than two years. He could be gone next summer.
āI would be very surprised if he is there the following summer. So, I think for him itās about, a bit like Jose [Mourinho], āI am here two or three years and I am going all-out for itā.ā
Winks may even end up sticking around under Conte as talk of him leaving has gone quiet in recent weeks, with interest in him limited.
He could find a home at Sampdoria if the Italian side get their wish, though. According to Il Secolo XIX (via Sport Witness), the Serie A club ādreamā of signing Winks.
Sampdoria are not getting too excited though as they are aware that it will be āalmost impossibleā for them to sign Winks as he would āpreferā to remain in the Premier League.
This could be a foolish move on the midfielderās part. You only have to look at how Fikayo Tomori and Tammy Abraham have shone in Italy to see how a change of scenery can help a player regain form.
The report notes that Winks will āleave Londonā, so there is that at least.

Pinch of salt, but sad if true.... A move (and life experience) like that could be great for him.
I mean he's 26..... Live a little, lad... Sure beats clogging around the bottom half of the prem with Everton and living in Liverpool.
Everyone panicking???
I don't see anyone panicking. Just a few posters expressing a concern at one or two positions the may need improvement and an army of posters running for their pitchforks in response!
