Aren't they all DMs? The way the squad is listed AOC is listed as a winger, rather than a CM. I get that Winks has had his fitness issues and it's understandable that he's not in this squad. But once he's playing any minutes in the league, surely he's got to be there. He offers something none of the others do.

If that was every touch, which I doubt it was, he didn't do a thing wrong all night. Holy hell we need a player like him with Eriksen along side.

Still like a rough but is already very good and put in a shift for us when asked for. Imagine he's being polished further. Always plays it forward, a trait we often missed.

if he becomes a full time rotation player (think Sissoko) for us I can see it coming. I love the way he plays and hope he starts getting the game time. The worry (for him) is that Barkley will replace him in the pecking order.
Once he does get into the eng squad, the frustration will be seeing Henderson starting ahead of him purely because he's pool captain

Are you asking if Winks is the best midfielder I've seen in the academy in recent times?, or if I think he has performed the best in the first team?

Missed quite a bit of the first half of this game, he really did play well. I hate to say it but it is against Apoel but if he can bring that to the PL, he will be quality for us. I love that he has kept the same features of play from his academy days. Though the Parker spin I believe is relatively new. I feel I would have noticed him doing it. Either way he uses it well, and I feel with purpose. So pleased for him, really hope he starts getting those PL games now

IMO, Onomah is best for raw potential/highest ceiling, but Winks offers the skill set we most need/most useful.
Edit: though Onomah hasn't made a fist team appearance in CM.

I see more and more of Modric in Winks. From the way he picks the ball up deep, manipulates the ball, turns and keeps the ball moving. He can be the brains of the team which will then free up Eriksen to focus on the creativity side

I love the speed at which he passes. Really dictates the tempo through his speed and range of passing.
Personally I could always see Winks fitting at our club and in midfield. I've struggled to see it with onomah but really hope he makes it with us too

This. I really think that's what we've missed this season. When the opposition sit back it'll really help, I don't think it's at all pace that we've missed but tempo.
