Harry Winks - Leicester City

[TottenhamMattSpur]

I've kept quiet about him as I wanted to see a decent live match (ie not tv) where i could watch him.
I got that yesterday from the east upper. I thought he was Modric-esq the way he worked, the way he passed and mostly the way he hunted the ball from his team mates.
Impressed.

he might have a better offer

what a crazy story, but just goes to show how big of a potential Harry has, and you can't blame spain he's a dream midfielder.

Wow, Winks is rated highly here!

I think he's very tidy and rarely loses possession, but I've yet to see anything beyond basic efficiency from him.

Reminds me of when Spurs fans used to say 'what does he do?' about Michael Carrick.

Winks is who Carroll & Mason never ended up being.

If Spain wants him and calls him up, thank fuck. A technically gifted young player who moves the ball quickly? England would ruin him.

And Bentaleb.

Quite ironic if he choose Spain. England been needing a player like him to knit together the midfield for years.

 

[For the love of Spurs]

And Bentaleb.

Bentaleb is a different cookie, very very talented but wild, he will make a good attacking player but wasn't disciplined enough for the CM role.

Mason and Carroll where nice technically but far less strong on the ball than Winks, Winks also seems more intelligent in distribution as well.

Irony is that he probably wouldn't get in the Spain team anyway.

Who knows, maybe in a few years he might? Winks, Koke and Saul. Not a bad midfield three! Lol...

They'd probably consider Thiago first

Like, but wouldn't it be:

Kane
Lallana Alli
Rose Dier Winks Walker
Stone Cahill Jones
Hart

Are you seriously slating Carrick?

Err no I thought the emojis communicated me slating the carrick slaters, obviously not.. Apparently he only passed sideways you know

England don't know how to use a player like that. He doesn't score goals, so the fans and media won't understand him and they will soon be clamouring for the next in-form player who they feel deserves a chance.

Honestly, the whole thing's a circus. He's miles better off choosing Spain.

 

[Everlasting Seconds]

And Bentaleb.

And Jake fudging Livermore.

They were also mismanaged by the academy and managers, its worth remembering that

Care to expand on that? I think McDermott did a brilliant job making them both PL footballers.

Like, but wouldn't it be:

Kane

Stone Cahill Jones
Hart

actually think stone is a real liability at the back but could play a role at DM where three behind him will cover up his errors

Is Stones good enough to play out of position in midfield just because he's a bit better on the ball than your average English clogger but can't defend for shit? Not so sure on that.
