What can you do?
Neither him nor Soumare are defensive midfielders. So what does Winks offer? He can pass. Soumare can carry. Neither are much of a threat at the business end of the pitch so take your pick on which one misses out. But for who? Cos Wilf is the only DM we've got and he's not played as a proper DM since we last went down.
The only way you help Winks is to give him a partner that does the dirty work. Someone physical who puts in tackles, breaks up play, intercepts and wins duels. But then why would you pair that player with Winks?
