Harry Winks has become so much of a Leicester City pantomime villain that he is giving LCFC chief football officer Jon Rudkin a run for his money! In all seriousness, Winks is an indisputable footballing embarrassment on Filbert Way .
The atmosphere surrounding the former Tottenham Hotspur midfielder has soured into a toxic vintage. Reports of lacklustre training habits and a flagrant failure to adhere to the basic sporting necessities devised by the manager suggest a player utterly detached from the collective cause.

On the field of play, his commitment appears ghostly, yet it is his conduct off the ball that truly beggars belief. Shockingly, Winks has been observed swearing at the Foxes faithful in cringe-inducing, UK Drill music fashion; a vulgar display of petulance that serves only to alienate a fan base already weary of his decline .
Leicester City's overpaid, overhyped, overrated and hopefully soon over there
What a joke the man has become - but the punchline is a costly one. It is profoundly laughable that the King Power plonkers originally saw fit to remunerate the 30-year-old with a staggering 90,000-per-week.
His [O'Reilly's] deal is estimated to be worth 30,000 per week.
With such an exorbitant stipend, Winks could arguably dispense with the professional circuit entirely and purchase his own football team to let down and verbally abuse. Given he is no longer wanted in Leicestershire, such a self-funded venture into the sporting abyss would be a preferable option for all parties involved.
His [ Zubimendi 's] wages are supposedly only worth 75,000 per week, though, which is relatively modest for a midfielder of his pedigree.
To make matters worse, the financial landscape of the Premier League reveals a humiliating disparity. A whole host of superior, authentically talented stars, including the likes of Jeremy Doku , Martin Zubimendi, and the ultra ascending Nico O'Reilly, command wages that sit beneath those of the inexplicable ex-England international.
Doku plays for one of the richest clubs in the world and although he may need to improve his scoring rate to prove he deserves to stay there, he is one of Manchester City 's lowest-paid players on a reported 50,000 per week.

That such elite technicians earn less than Leicester's most overpaid liability is not merely a statistical quirk - it is a damning indictment of LCFC profligacy.
