Strikes me as one of those footballers who were highly rated and didn’t really make an impact early into his career, so Leicester have took a chance on him - sort of like us with Roberts.
Difference being they’ve spunked £10m on Winks, we got Roberts for nothing.
It’s rare you get called up for England if you’re ****e. Coady isn’t only a good centre back but he’s a massive personality and that will be huge for Leicester, alongside Evans who’s basically the same. What people need to remember is that we thought Bathh was incredible last season - in the championship. Evans has been doing it in the PL for the last decade, regardless of his age he’s still top drawer as is Coady.
What type of midfielder is Winks? He’s only scored 2 league goals in his career, so I’m guessing he’s a defensive midfielder who doesn’t attack. Not quite a James Maddison type replacement.
Nah definitely not a Maddison type player. Plays as a holding midfielder normally, would be an upgrade on Evans. Played most of his football at spurs under Poch, when they were the best they’ve been in the last decade. Had a lot of potential but picked up more than his share of injuries.
When you look at midfielders who dominated the championship last season you think Cullen or Hamer. If Winks stays fit he’ll be leagues ahead of them.
Massively agree. Plenty of my mates reckon we’ll be right in the mix for automatic promotion. I just don’t see where their confidence comes from like.
Amad liking Sunderland things again.

could there be a reason for that
I'm that out of the loop with football, I didn't know maddison was away to spurs
Naa. The lad was overrated from day one and started to lose minutes even under Pocc, made very little impression on games.
He is glacially slow and is like Scott Parker every pass is under 10 yards and sideways. I would not be excited at all if we signed him.
He tanked in a weak Serie A. Missed first bunch of games but Sampdoria finished rock bottom and the fans were rioting.
Spurs have absolutely gang banged Leicester getting 25% of the Maddison fee back for him. Hamer is a game changing ball player. I’d have Hamer over Winks before you can say Winks.
Quote me when I say he will get overran in this league.
He was the guy Moyes chose instead of M'Vila right.....I'm still in therapy after that one.......ffs.
I'm still not buying it to be fair.
The way we recruit now I'd be very surprised if Stuart Harvey thought we'd need to trial out a player before signing. The recruitment department he's Head of are so thorough in their approach to scouting, and utilising data that I think they'd be able to make their mind up really quickly.
Mowbray and the coaches will obviously be taking training but don't have final say on transfers.
Therefore, if he is on trial who makes the decision? The recruitment department who aren't on the training pitch, or the head coach and coaching staff on the training pitch who dont have the say on recruitment. See what I mean?
I don't think it's a goer personally.
Lot of people with red and white specs on tbh. I've heard talk of "walk the league" because we've signed a youngster from Brum and a bunch of kids with literally zero experience at anything remotely close to Championship standard
.Don't get me wrong, I think we'll be in and around the top 6, and if things really click we could *maybe* push for automatics. But there are going to be a lot of disappointed folk a couple months into the season, imo.
