Fab Fridays are back!!!
Agreed, as the late George Michael once said
“Once bitten and twice shy”
Little doubt if the Winks story is true, along with other outgoings that we will bring at least one more player in.
Once?
I feel like I got attacked by a mob from the walking dead
The animosity was/is unnecessarily toxic.
Lies... Personal abuse.... Scapegoating....
IRL, you'd classify it as bullying.
I wish him all the best, to the best of my knowledge he hasn't appeared to bitch about his predicament, has always been loyal, hard working and prepared to be on the bench.
The game appears to have past him by, but this move, the first of his career away from the club make reignite him as a player.
And what if Spurs would end up above Chelski with the help of 2 loanees from them? Do you think the Chelski supporters would support such pragmatic measures?
I think the Italian league will suit him . Good luck to the guy
I never said he wasn’t an upgrade mate.
I said I hope he proves to be a better signing than Reguilon was. He’s started very well but so did Reguilon and It’ll be very interesting to see how Perisic adjusts to playing in a much more physical league at his age.
By some yes. Players like Nkoudou didn’t receive this level of abuse because he wasn’t relied upon to start and he was moved on quickly.
We had to endure Winks starting for way too long in the most important position on the pitch when it’s clear he wasn’t good enough. We probably lost the CL final because we had a ridiculous midfield of Winks and Sissoko.
I stand by my earlier opinion that the club is largely at fault for letting the winks era drag on so long. Sure, Dembele hid Winks poor performance for a while but this is one of the top clubs in the world and supposed to have some of the best minds/executives in football. The club should have seen past that and seen Winks for who he is long ago.
So if my math is correct, just Reg and Tanganga to go out?
For all the Winks defenders, sure he was at the club a long time and from the youth system. But there are hundreds of youth players in there that we never know even existed. We don’t have room for them all and the club is not a charity.
It’s the clubs responsibility to take care of these players as best as possible but also to put out the most competitive team we realistically can. We should have moved on a long time ago and it’s unfortunate the hate that he has faced, but Winks owes the club a lot more than the club owes him, imo.

Welcome back Arc-y
Reggy yes.
Feels like Tanganga will only go if another club is offering to straight out buy
If it's just Winks, we won't bring anyone in. He was never in Conte's plans.
What if? I don't think prem clubs should be able to loan players to other prem clubs full stop.
Your imaginary scenario wasn't what I was advocating,
My point was purely that plenty of players have moved between the clubs in the past without it being the end of the world. This is a point of fact, not an opinion.
Firstly, Winks did far more for this team that GKN ever did.
Besides, there's was no need for much of the abuse either way... He's not the first player to 'linger' and he certainly won't be the last.
"Endure"
Blame Wanyama's career-wrecking injury, Sissoko, Ndombele, GLC, Dembele's exit.......
Not Winks himself.
Fuck no..... Absolutely unfair analysis.
All this does is lays the surrounding circumstances at Wink's feet...... That's frankly wrong. "If we'd have had a better MF then we'd have won the CL" is a completely flawed and unfair critique of the player himself.
Kane injury
Big players didn't show (Eriksen, Son)
Penalty cuntery.
Poch played a rotten hand pre-game too.
Winks was one of the few that actually performed ok that night.
That's a fairer critique.... But it's not justification for the toxicity poured onto Winks himself.
Ndombele & GLC were meant to rebuild our MF and arrest what subsequently became our decline..... 100m of failure. Winks was simply a player that hit his ceiling whilst a manager continued to try and force him into a position that didn't suit him(*).
(*He was never a DM and he sure as fuck wasn't Pirlo; let alone a combination of the two!)
