Why? Winks is 22 capped for England with plenty of appearances in the league under his belt. All he needs is to get fit and put together a run of games.

I personally am hoping we sign a top CM either way.

I’m not convinced he can seamlessly move into Dembele’s position. He doesn’t have any physical presence which has been important in our game style. If Wanyama plays next to him that might work but both players have had their injury issues.

I agree we need a CM . Dier is a central defender and that’s where he should primarily play. We need an upgrade especially if Dembele goes.

Shots of him in pre season today. Hopefully that Marbella story was nonsense looks like it.

The only story i saw was from a month ago saying he had a holiday there with his family. Was there something else?

Someone on here said someone spoke to him in Marbella and he said was still struggling with injury. But appears fine today.

What professional athlete would tell a complete stranger their current injury status and that in-depth, I don't buy it.

If he was fully fit I would be starting season with him and Wanyama in a 3-4-2-1 formation.

Wouldn't it be better to play Eriksen in that spot though and allow one of Lucas/Lamela/Son on the field?

Beginning of the season will be interesting as many of our players may not be ready and Son misses like our first 4 matches playing in the Asian games. Probably going to see some odd lineups for a couple of weeks.

I'd like to ease Winks along though as he won't have played a competitive game for like 6 months plus at that point.

He had been struggling with his injury though, not sure if it was information from the club, but i'm sure i remember reading he went to see a specialist and had surgery to fix the issue.

Didn’t he go to America for treatment? If he’s at Heathrow, maybe they’re sending him back for checks?
