Dier isn't the greatest footballer ever, but his mentality is crucial to what we do and how we play.

Utd can fuck right off.

What if he wants to leave?

if it is Dier then the cryptic would infer that he's pining for the fjords but Poch and Levy are united in their thinking

Maybe :cautious:

I keep looking at the ITK and I still don't get any way close to it being about Dier.
Got to be Leicester and that leads me to Demarai Grey.

Look at Trix's post and what he has previously said about Dier.

I think of our first XI players from last year, Dier and Walker are the two we can most afford to lose in terms of playing ability.

But it's more the message it sends out if we lose two of our first team players to teams that finished comfortably below us.

Pretty fucking depressing to be honest. Hope it's something of nothing.

What if Rose wants to leave? What if Eriksen does? Alli? Toby?

There comes a point where we have to draw the line, send a firm message that we won't be selling key players ( and especially not to title rivals).

Dier is going to be a seriously, seriously good centre-back by the time he's Toby's age: we'd be criminally negligent to let a talent like that slip through our hands.

Dier, leaves me feeling what an ungrateful bastard. We plucked him from obscurity ffs.

I can't help feeling that half these players won't be as good as they think they are when they go to pastures new.

Look at Liverpool.

Yep, and fans wonder why the media continue to ask how we'll keep hold of players.

You guys can all calm down I have figured it out.

Life of Brian star is John Cleese.

The story of Romeo and Juliet was taken from a narrative by Arthur Brooke called The Tragical History of Romeus and Juliet.

John Brooks is an American Player we are in for John Brooks

Although i dont actively want any one of our first teamers to leave i could accept walker and dier if it was daft money. Every player has an amount you can't say no to.
Dier is in all honesty not first choice in any position he plays even though he is important for us.
Selling a player for an acceptable amount, doesnt necessarily make us a selling club

Yeah that is true but I'm not sure if there is much we can do about it. We just can't compete on wages - when you have Utd giving complete non-footballers like Lindgard 100k+ per week it is bound to turn the heads of some players. Dier could move to Utd and more than double his wages.

Look at Liverpool.

I also think, like a lot of the players that have left Arsenal over the years, that they won't also be as good either.

People keep saying this about Dier. But he's started 96 matches for us in two seasons. There comes a point where you have to admit that Pochettino clearly sees him as first choice.

The problem is and this isn't a shot at you - but the quote in your sig would go against everything that, if true, the Dier move is about.

He just went to Hoffenheim. However, he would have been a straight swap for Wimmer as an LCB.

I get that from a Club reputation and media perception stance. But I don't see what we stand to gain from keeping a player that would prefer to be playing for another club, if a suitable bid has come in.

I can't recall many instances where this has worked in the favour of a club in recent years.

Completely agree, selling any of our first team to Premier League clubs would be a massive step backwards.
