Winks has to decide if he wants to be a big or little fish. Good player if played at the right level. He’s not as bad as some suggest.

I think Southampton would be a decent fit for him. And yes, they can send Ings in return.

I've not read the article because, we'll ya know, it's football insider innit. Are they saying it's Southampton because that's not one of the clubs I've heard are interested???

Haven't read it either, but I think that could be a good move for all parties. No idea whether they want him though.

Is the "major development" that Nuno prefers Skipp?

 

[Rocksuperstar]

I'm still not convinced that he's peaked, if he wanted to stick around then there is always the chance that he could flourish in whatever system Nuno is planning on playing, but if he's been flat out told nope and the wages are good just take that opportunity while it's there, man.

It must suck hearing that news from a new manager but he's home grown and has experience at the top table, so I would imagine he's got quite a bit of leverage to get a really solid wage out of it and it wouldn't surprise me if any of the teams in for him are top six contenders.

Oh ok, thought there was someone new coming in for him. The more teams that want him, the more chance he fucks off, the happier Trix gets.

Skipp & Nile John are ready made replacement for Winks and Sissoko

Skipp really adds something to our midfield unlike Winks and Sissoko.

 

[Happyhammy]

typical click bait no mention of any specific team: "There is interest in him from multiple Premier League clubs although the Londoners may have to adjust their expectations on the fee"

 

[TheChosenOne]

West Ham and a quick little spell in the Europa League maybe ?

No its that he's been told he'll be a fringe player if he stays.

Fringe player sounds like someone with a crap haircut

He ‘peaked’ about three years ago and hasn’t progressed

He’ll be very lucky if another PL club takes him imv!

He’s an embarrassment and prefer Sissoko but ideally they both leave ASAP

 

[TOLBINY]

Winks leaving is not a bad thing - but I do not think Skipp is a top level midfielder although he may become one in time.

I remember saying that about Lennon, then he found another gear. If an experienced and respected coach looks at him and says he's hit the limiter and, mentally, he's not going to be able to break through that, fair enough, but someone at the time at Spurs had faith in Lennon (McDermott?) and it paid off, we got another two or three seasons of a revitalised player.

Like I say though, i'm not a coach, I can't tell if he has more in the tank but it just needs someone with the right approach or formation to unlock it, whether playing alongside a fresh face might give him more focus. No idea.
