Welcome to Barcelonaton FC
I'm hoping that kinda of mentality will change after last season.
I think a ball carrier who is consistent, solid, and can pick the ball up from the defence, is robust, and isn't injury prone is 100% is exactly what we need.
He lost his place to Hojberg who coincidentally would've change our midfield woes if he chose us over Spurs a few years back. He's not as combative as Hojberg or Skipp...but because he's not Henoz Winkez we're quick to jump on him as being "not good enough"
We almost got relegated. He's played champions league football and was an international.
For the life of me, I can’t fathom why he hates him so much ??
I understand why Dave hates certain players, as he hates pretty much everything and everyone that doesn‘t fit into his twisted, bizarre and weird socio political landscape, but how can you hate Richy
So did his mirror image T Cleverly and look how that one worked out.
He was an actual 25 goal a season striker, it’s not a comparable scenario.

Decent Premier League midfielder. Not really got much in the way of flair but does his job in the right system. Definitely not a goal scoring mid. Was far better under Poch than subsequent managers. Used in the right way he would be an asset.

Due to the managers involved, there's seldom any manager who has managed Spurs in the last few years that actually made any non-defensive-midfielder look good. Pochettino lost the plot in the league from around Feb 2019 until he was binned, then Mourinho basically used CMs as extra defenders, then Nuno Santo was even worse, and so far Conte just plays down the wings.
Surely no possible coincidence that in that time frame (Feb 2019 to date) minus the short Ryan Mason caretaker stint, where almost every single non-defensive CM looked awful:
- Winks
- Ndombele
- Lo Celso
- Eriksen
- Dele (minus a bit where Jose first arrived)
- probably some others here
And then the Hojbjerg/Skipp/Sissoko types - all players who are basically body-on-the-line athletes who don't create play - suddenly look good?
Not saying Winks is a Countinho or anything, but feels a bit like blaming sports cars for getting stuck in the mud when the track is made of dirt. He's made over 100 appearances since the start of 2019, and seems to me like he's just not suited to the counter attacking football that's basically been there the whole time, rather than suddenly not being good enough (when 100 appearances around the company of the above players is surely testament to that?).
Unless you want to pay £40-50m for your ex-liverpool or Chelsea "starlets" who haven't even had a purple patch to refer to (although that's probably what Frank is aiming for) then fans have to be a bit less fickle and see the potential in paying less. It's not even like Winks is in the Drinkwater/Barclay/Delph box of "broken bodies", or one of those players who conned his way into being an accessory at United like Cleverly or Januzaj
This doesn’t make me want us to buy him.
