Who will finish higher?

  1. Arsenal (because they will buck expectations)

    70.0%
  2. Spurs (because they are now the biggest club in North London)

    30.0%

    That’s the problem. Too many blinded by sentimentality because he’s “one of our own”. Ask the fans what it is they actually rate about him and they likely won’t be able to find much. Nice lad and Tottenham through and through but not at the level to be starting for us, squad player at the very best.

    Unfortunately, he’ll be starting every game until either one of our midfielders has recovered or we actually buy somebody!

    Nowt wrong with hyping your own academy boys, they can respond well to the hype. You just have to take it on the chin when they turn out ****e, like Macheda.

    Yep. Gotta get someone in this window though. Suicide if we don’t, mate. Dembele and Wanyama are finished and Winks ain’t up to it. Failing that, just give Skipp more starts, already looks better and more forward thinking than Winks.

    Then you'll find out if he is good enough, and just needs games.

    That’s the thing, we should be at that “taking it on the chin” stage but too many are still living in a dream world thinking Winks is the English Iniesta or Modric’s heir. Three seasons in and he’s still offering **** all other than a 180 turn to pass to the CBs. We sold Mason and Bentaleb after two seasons, both much better than Winks, especially Bentaleb, he’d still be here if he didn’t have attitude problems, class player.

    We’ve already had three seasons to find out if he’s good enough, lol.

    DH is right mate. He’s not of the quality we would need to mount a serious challenge for the title.

    He’s a squad player at best.

    Just lacks experience, hopefully! I’d like to see more of him before saying yay or nay.

    Spurs have won one league cup over a decade ago and that is Levy’s sole achievement

    Even Portsmouth and Wigan have been more successful in that time.

    Spuds win the delusion cup every year though.
