He won't play many minutes if any at all, it'll be just be training with the squad which will be great experience for him.

Even just being with them and training with them adds expectancy and pressure. He's coming off a serious injury, he has finally managed a couple of performances which do his undoubted ability justice, he should be spending this week with Pochettino and the coaches to continue his improvements.

No pressure or expectancy there.

I don't think there's much expectancy, media are all focused on Kane, Dele, Sterling etc.

If you're a professional footballer pressure and expectancy has probably been prevalent through your entire conscious memory. The players who go on to be great feed off of it. It's great for Winks, who for me has the ingredients to become a mainstay in our first 11 and England's.

At this level you gotta learn to deal with it, more exposure to get used to it the better.

Or it could be a massive confidence boost for him, and push him on. It's not like he's going to start.

And winks is the type of player who will take it as a huge compliment and as you say give him great confidence. The lad has brilliant determination.

Was he a youth player at time who hadn’t even competed a full season with his club?
(And thanks I’d blotted out his time with England lol).

The fuck was Delph doing in the England Squad anyway, half of SC are better midfielders than him

Plays for City. That's enough for Southgate.

No but he was shite which was my point
Yeah but was poor decision making by Taylor rather than being because we didn’t actually have any other midfielders.

he's a good player ravaged by injuries, was excellent against chelsea.
