Hafnia Posted June 22, 2022 Report Share Posted June 22, 2022 He must tick the box for what we are looking for. A few years back he was touted for enormous things…. Last year pep was looking at him so I think there is something unique that he brings. I’ve not watched him a great deal but all the reports on him suggest he is an extremely good passer of the ball. I’m not overly excited by this I must say but will trust thelwell and lampard patto and StevO 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve learnt absolutely nothing. I hoped the signings after Tarkowski would put my mind at ease but now I’m worrying even more. At least the defence will know where to stand and our crab midfield will be even more crab-like though. Hurrah! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trigger Posted June 22, 2022 Report Share Posted June 22, 2022 Couldn't agree with Romey more. I just simply don't understand why we never learn. Proven Averageness in the Premier league at a premium price vs taking 20 to 24 Yr old promising unproven Premier league talent from a wide variety of leagues. If we can take 2 or 3 promising talents for the price and wages of Harry Winks, I know where I want us to be looking. No more Delphs, Gomes, Keanes, Bolasi's, Sigurdson's. More Cahills, Artetas, Jagielkas, DCLs, Stones Romey 1878 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dunlopp9987 Posted June 23, 2022 Report Share Posted June 23, 2022 Not sure why people are surprised by this to be honest.

Shukes Posted June 23, 2022 Report Share Posted June 23, 2022 Don’t think many people have watched him have they? He isn’t the type of name that we’re looking for, but he is a technically gifted player. Very tidy on the ball and make the hardest passes in the game… which is the ten yard pass. He is better than players like Davies, Gomes, Delpth, Gbamin ect. So is probably the upgrade for one of those. Hafnia 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tottenham fans have and they're laughing their heads off about someone taking him off their hands. They will know what he's like, just like we know what our players are like. I don't care about his name, I care about what he brings to us and in my opinion he brings absolutely nothing. I really don't think he's better than Davies, he's at his level and he's, at best, good enough to be a squad player. We're going to sign Winks to actually be a first 11 player. A loan deal would just about be palatable (that way he might actually earn the move) but if we spend money on garbage like Winks then we're settling for repeating the same mistakes over and over, and we'll never get any better. I hope that when he signs (it is a when, not an if) that he proves me wrong but I'm really going to fear for us next season if this is the direction we're going. I will actually worry about losing Richarlison and I don't think he brings a lot of quality to the table either. What he brings is heart and determination to make up for what he lacks ability-wise so when he goes we'll lose that and we're going to dilute the quality of an already pretty shite team with players like Winks. If we sign a creative player then my worries will ease somewhat but we'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spurs fans make him their target of abuse because he hasn’t become the England and Spurs captain they predicted when he first emerged. Quite a common theme across clubs in general. Let’s be honest - have any of us watched him properly? I know loads of us are getting irritated at other fans dismissing Richarlison with very little knowledge of him. this lad I know likes Winks, very good passer but needs regular games.

As nice as it is for my sanity that you've found one that rates him I think the majority view on him is probably more accurate. Don't get me wrong, when he arrives he'll get my full backing on the pitch but here is where I can vent, and this move does not bode well for any improvement this coming season (it might even be a further regression).

Bailey Posted June 23, 2022 Report Share Posted June 23, 2022 It seems a lot of money to me for a player who spent most of his time after January on the bench. How on earth is he commanding that type of fee? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How on earth is he commanding that type of fee? Cos he’s got an England cap, his upside is pretty high, he’s young enough, technically very sound. let’s be honest, if we were to sell Tom Davies we would get around £15m so it’s not a million miles away. pep was looking at signing him over a year ago. He clearly has something that managers like. The spurs fans are relentless in their criticism of him. He wouldn’t be the first would he…. Look at most home grown players. If they show early promise and drop then that’s when the knives come out. his job will be to take the ball from the defence or Pickford and use it. With doucoure and Allan he may be the centre mid we need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonsta Posted June 23, 2022 Report Share Posted June 23, 2022 Anyone who has watched Winks over the last 18 months knows they are not getting an upgrade on anything that is already here. As for other people knowing better just look at last 5 years signings, no expertise required there. As for giving the new regime a chance to sort things out, I'm all for that, but i still think we have watched the game long enough to spot a dud when we see one.

That would be the quick and dirty assumption….. Do you think the likes of Lampard and Thelwell think “yeah…. He’s crap, let’s go and get him” If they want him then they clearly know that he gives us something we need in the right price bracket vs other options. has he got me excited?

I’m of the mind that until proven wrong we should trust Frank in general and most specifically when dealing with the midfield. If he thinks he can get the best out of someone in that area I’m not sure many are more qualified to judge. London Blue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlbanyNYToffee Posted June 23, 2022 Report Share Posted June 23, 2022 Most of us are being naive if we think we know enough to comment on a player's ability. I'm always much more interested in price, position, age, leverage. Assuming these rumors are actually true and Frank is in fact on board here I actually think this is much different from Bolasie, Siggy, Iwobi etc. We're not panic buying or desperate for the next best thing. Spurs have brought in Bissouma already so we can get Winks for less or on loan. I'm not sure I agree with those who think this is the waste of a loan. Who else would we use it on? It's not like world beaters are available. Lastly, he'll also be hugely motivated to try and sneak into the world cup discussion for England. dunlopp9987 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuffRob Posted June 23, 2022 Report Share Posted June 23, 2022 Dont think the signing of Winks is going to get any pulses racing, but he has got to be better than what Delph and Gomes have been able to offer us. He will be more consistent and reliable if not spectacular, at the moment I will take reliable for a couple of season. dunlopp9987 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he isn’t a top six player. But after seeing him play a few times, he is a step above the players mentioned above for me. It’s sometimes easy to follow the pack. You’ve only got to look at players like Maguire who are labelled as pub level….. when in reality he is good enough for 80% of the top six. And I think Winks is a player who hasn’t reached the predicted heights so easily becomes the scapegoat. Someone mentioned above Richarlison. The guy is talked about as one of the most over rated players on the premier league by those who don’t watch him. Ywt the same fans will tell you Trent is the best left back in world football. Yet the guy cant defend for shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
