He's exactly what England need, a player who can move the ball quickly.
There's also no real competition for him.
Considering the amount of people who made the call that he'd be going to the World Cup next year at the start of the Summer I'm surprised anyone would be that shocked.

Southgate has name checked Winks quite a few times before, he would've been in earlier without the injury.

Why should England have to wait until he breaks into the Spurs team to call him up? People still thinking international football is the pinnacle seems bizarre to me. Getting into the England side is far, far easier than getting into the Spurs one. They don't have Wanyama and Dembele standing in his way!

As long as they dont get injured. I believe Rose got his injury playing for England, but I could be wrong. While the players deserve it, I really dont want them playing for England solely for that reason. Spurs before England any day in my book

I'm not English so I have no skin in the game, but I'm bemused by people on twitter and even pundits elsewhere saying that this is a sign of how far English football has fallen and how they shouldn't be picking players with so little experience and a lot of other rubbish.
But isn't this what teams like Germany, Brazil, France and Spain so all the time? They're always calling up promising young players if they're good enough,. regardless of senior appearances for club sides, when it's time to do so and giving them some experience in the camp and a few minutes here and there to get them up to speed with how the national team plays. I'm surprised by how many people I've seen that seem to be suggesting that the English team is too good and prestigious for that despite being far less successful than these teams.
Good on Winksy I say and good on Southgate and England for having the balls to call up a young player who is clearly good enough and offers them something they don't have, despite his relative lack of senior appearances.

good for Winks I think a lot of us saw this this coming and for fucks sake to those who think this will hinder his career every young player dreams of representing his country how dare he have those dreams fulfilled! with England having just about wrapped up qualification he'll get a lil playing time and it very well may be beside Dier how is this a bad thing again Jesus fucking Christ

Shouldn’t have needed Delph and Jones withdrawing to get the call up to be honest.
Winks getting a call up isn’t a show of how poor the talent pool is, but rather Livermore etc is. I’d much rather have Winks in there with Dier than anyone else.

The club and Poch should be negotiating some money from the FA. We seem to be doing the job of developing players for the national team for them!
