Winks won't be starting. We have Bentancur and Hojbjerg starting while Bissouma and Skipp recover.
Based on pre-season spec & mins; even Sarr is ahead of Winks now.

Who is trolling here?
I explained my thought and logic.
You did not.
Come straight out and explain to everyone here - what does it mean that he did not get fair chance?
Who was unfair, what was unfair. Come out and explain, and we can find common ground.
I'm not sure about that in terms of Conte's judgment on quality- think he wanted to see a bit of Sarr to judge whether he should be sent on loan. Winks he knows is solid but not Spurs quality.Based on pre-season spec & mins; even Sarr is ahead of Winks now.

Brazil coach begs to differGawd. You are delusional. You can respect another teams business without supporting them.
Jesus is much better and cheaper than our Brazilian acquisition.
Their Ukrainian acquisition is better than ours in the same position.
It’s pretty simple mate. Objective facts.
You're comparing Poch to Conte. Seriously, now...I'm guessing you also believed Poch when he said he was happy with every transfer window he ever had? Even the ones where we signed nobody
Or Jose when he said he was happy with the Rodon / Doherty / Hart window
Do you also believe in fairies, by any chance?

The salary could be an issue, granted.Why?
Cause this lad wants 400 k per week salary?
And he does not seem to be Conte-type of CM.
So if you are asking what could go wrong with transfer where -
- player is not fond of leaving previous club
- is not very good fit for the style that club is playing
- would become record signing
- and record earner...
then there are those same 4 reasons.
Zinchenko is better than Bissouma? Objective fact?Their Ukrainian acquisition is better than ours in the same position.

Speaking only for myself, I view goals and assists as being perhaps the hardest thing for a player to add to their game, and the easiest thing to lose. Most of the time they've either got it or they don't.
Solid?I'm not sure about that in terms of Conte's judgment on quality- think he wanted to see a bit of Sarr to judge whether he should be sent on loan. Winks he knows is solid but not Spurs quality.

Harsh. Zinchecko is a good player tooZinchenko is better than Bissouma? Objective fact?
Here's an actual objective fact- you're as thick as pig shit.
Yes but it's not an 'objective fact' that he's better than Bissouma.
Have you seen his salary?I know your post is somewhat tongue in cheek, but why shouldn’t we be having a look if a deal is possible here?
I think we’d be crazy not to even test the waters with this one.
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.
