Always had the unfortunate feeling with both of them that ultimately they'd need to be moved on because of not being at the required level (same with Townsend).confidence and good coaching, he is certainly better than Carroll and Mason at this stage
Thought he was our best player on the pitch today from our outfield players, especially in that first half. Absolutely everywhere. Intercepted so many passes, put in a great defensive shift and he's getting better every single week. The real test is coming up over the next month for him too. Dortmund over two legs. Chelsea and Woolwich all coming up.

Interesting that he was played in the holding position - I guess Poch thought it would be a step too far for Skipp to be DM in this match - so Winks was actually playing in his 2nd best position, and still looked the real deal.
He's better as a CM, allowing him more freedom to venture upfield and support Eriksen with some creativity - but experience as a DM to improve his defensive awareness will help his overall development too.
carroll was never very good. not remotely surprised with where he's at now.confidence and good coaching, he is certainly better than Carroll and Mason at this stage
He's got more of a David Bekham about him... not in playing style as such, but more in likeabke personality, appearance a little, and a pure honest love of the game he plays.I see Souness has compared him to Per Mertesacker.

What on earth was his angle there?
Mertesacker had the best pass ratio in the league a few years back. He's basically saying Winks passes are useless.
Time to put Souness out to pasture. Daft cunt.Mertesacker had the best pass ratio in the league a few years back. He's basically saying Winks passes are useless.
Would be such a waste IMO. He's way too quick and adventurous on the ball to be a deep lying playmaker. An absolute born and bred Xavi/Inesta style classic number 8.I wonder if Poch perhaps sees that as his future position?
Someone who can take the ball off the centre halves in the deepest midfield position and control the speed of the game through his recycling of possession. More a Busquets, Carrick, Alonso than an Iniesta so to speak.
