Harry Winks

[Robspur12]

But he went out on loan?

Developing what young players?

He has helped develop Kane from a perennial loanee to a multi million pound striker. He has also been instrumental in developing both Dele Alli and Eric Dier into regulars for both Club and Country. His record in developing players of all ages is pretty sound I would say. Hence I agree about trusting his judgment.

 

[Robspur12]

Yes!
Not bought developed from the academy?

I think that is a very narrow parameter Tbh.

Kane was Tim?
Dele was Dele?
Dier was someone in Portugal?

Seriously he's done ok

Bloody Dembele looks good

There's some little fudger in the crowd screaming its head off who is in desperate need of shooting. Bloody kids for a quid.

A Euro I suppose.

 

[StephenH]

Dembele again

Bloody screaming kids

 

[Seedy Ron]

The England keeper isn't having one to remember.

 

[StephenH]

Poor little bugger - super man impersonation was good mind!

 

[Cochise]

So how did he get on?

 

[Yoof]

So how did he get on?

He did OK, one poor square-pass and a few fouls aside he was moving the ball well and unflustered in possession, not sure why he was taken off as he was growing into the game the more it went on.

 

[Cochise]

I think the England left back was trying his hardest to not pass to Winks at times.

Oh how I wish we had gone in for Dembele

 

[StephenH]

I was quite disappointed in him.
He was very conservative in his passing

 

[Cochise]

At times yes, but there were also some very good passes through the lines that set the U21's off. I'd rather see that than him trying to hit the 30 yard perfect pass every time.

Ward-Prowes is the level he needs to aim at. ATM he is some way off sadly

Ward Prowes has had a lot more first team football than Winks. Let's see how the lad develops with more minutes under his 'belt'.

Yes he needs regular football.

Better off on loan

I'm a big fan of ward prowse but he hasn't had enough chances at Southampton IMO. He is better than Classie and also the Spanish lad they from from Chelsea

Except Poch seems to prefer keeping the younger players he rates (cue the deraded Bentaleb discussion) training with him and the first team rather than farming them out for vital experience but training under someone else's methods.

Catch 22
Time to put Winks on loan IMHO

It would be the harbinger of the end for him. Poch just doesn't seem to believe in loaning players he rates.
