That'd be a poor signing. Can't see it though.

He’s the type of player I think would do well here. It’s easy to make comparisons with Walker-Peters, but he’s another English player who showed promise then went off the radar. With regular game time I think he’d do well. Didn’t he also get in the England squad not so long ago? Clearly got some talent, but he’d be out of our price range.

The point is more that is would be a poor signing at the 30m Spurs are rumoured to want. Very poor. 12-15 like KWP/Hoj then yes

And yes I am aware how this could be seen as similar to Villa bidding at least half our “value” of JWP. But Winks isn’t a key part of their side, is no way near as good in general, no set piece additions etc

And if Spurs were to sell him it would be specifically because they wanted to raise funds elsewhere . Which is not the same situation

He's essentially Ward Prowse without the set pieces imo. No really strong attributes bar sideways passing and high energy.

I suspect it's nonsense anyway on back of the JWP stuff but I really don't rate him at all.
 
I can`t see who Winks would displace to get in the Saints team - can`t see us spending big on a player who wouldn`t walk straight into the team. Can`t see us spending big at all !

Especially as when it looked like he was going to Brighton the wailing on Saintsweb was unbelievable

you would have thought we were missing out on Messi

Helps with right back back up only leaving us short on the left side. Perhaps if this guy is as good as his claimed he comes in and KWP moves to the left if needed? If we really can’t find someone to bring in on the left

The meltdown on there was hilarious. Going on about not getting anyone from the Chelsea academy exodus, how Brighton were smashing us in every department. Simeu was announced a couple hours after, and now we may have gotten another (probably the best potential out of all of them). They seem ashamed to support Saints on there

That place can be a nightmare. There are some of the most negative anti Saints posters you could possibly imagine on there

Almost as if they want failure so they can gloat about it

There is even a guy bitching about our accounts and loan and claiming to read accounts as part of his job. He could have fooled me since he doesn’t seem to know what he is talking about (and football finance really works different anyway).

He doesn’t seem to understand how loans actually work in practice in the real world - as in they nearly always just get extended or renegotiated. And just utterly refuses to take the word of our execs

Our execs are teeming with accounting experience and know more than the Saintsweb bedwetters. We have a DoF and the current MD is also an accountant and former DoF. We are not being run by clueless cavaliers. This isn’t Portsmouth

I honestly suspect that we have the worst social media fans out there.
