Why is Vill being picked on? He makes perfectly reasonable points.

Having said that, the only Wink(s) I'd be up for us signing is the one that could take us to a higher state of consciousness.

Winks is a no from me.

Remember when Lambert said we need players in the bracket of Lewis Holtby  ;D

On Winks
I think people would have moaned if we were being linked with Chambers for a centre back competitior.

Errrrrr. No
I didn’t moan about Chambers and I don’t recall a single person doing so. He came in for £3m as a permanent signing replacing Tuenzebe on loan in the squad and was competition for Konsa, so a good signing at the time. And since then he’s now looking a very good signing with generally very good performances.

What I'm saying is a load of bollocks

Yes, on the whole I’d say it is, but I thought I’d read something about Gerrard wanting players in before pre season, which would make sense so I agree with you there.

I forgot how good he can be but he is a winger (in a team that does not play wingers) time will tell if he can play as a number ten. Plus will he get ahead of our other number tens?

and no it's not like having a new signing......lets see what happens in pre-season

Having his running and skill coming at you from a more central '10' position, especially with tiring legs could be scary for opposition. It's just keeping him fit and letting him find some form. Great option for counter attacking tactics.

Is he being picked on or are people just disagreeing with him over Winks being someone we should consider?

I would have Winks ahead of Nakamba as a footballer
That's a upgrade.

I agree with the first line but disagree with the conclusion. Winks is a better all round footballer than Nakamba, I think that's objectively true but Nakamba works harder and tackles better, which makes him a better player as a backup DM who only comes in as injury cover or to add a bit of extra bite. I don't see any scenario where you'd look at Winks on the bench and think he could change the game for you.

I see it as being debated, not being picked on.

Winks would be an upgrade on somebody like Ashley Westwood but not anybody we currently have on the books.

No Winks is the archetypal English midfielder who comes through, can pass a bit and gets completely overhyped. He hasn’t kicked on at all - he’s the type of player who ends up at Southampton and plays his career out being pretty average.

Whoever compared him to Tom Caroll had it right. He's shit.
