Just seeing you got your panties in a bunch I'll ask you who idolises Dier?Actually agree with this. It’s not that he’s terrible or anything, but he’s not a lot more than a utility player imo. If he wasn’t so versatile I’m not sure people would be so keen on him. Is he better than Wanyama? No. Is he better than our defenders, No.
A lot of people on here seem to idolise him, I just can’t see why.

So many over blown statements on here when there hasn't been need since we got beaten by City. One bang average game and threads like this get bumped.
Funny stuff.
Can't what? Sell off a player in a hypothetical thread created for fun?So you can’t then?

Do me a favour.

In a thread created for fun, do you realise I'm having fun at the notion you'd sell either?Christ, you are painful to read. Grow the fuck up.
You spammed me having a chuckle at the thread then highlighted it. Not sure why you even dragged me in.Can’t tell us why you do (or possibly don’t) rate Dier?
Also, not sure why you’re having a go at me, I just responded to the thread. Is that not allowed?

The ruddy irony in your post is too much.
How about you lighten up?
The irony is still strong.I don’t even give a shit about the topic at hand, nor do I even have a dog in your fight, I just stepped in here, ironically, to have a laugh at why this thread was bumped. Instead, I find something akin to a child pouting and running around a room away from his parents.

No I wouldn't sell either. (unless hypothetically they wanted out and you didn't want to upset the squad)
Hope that clears up any lingering doubt.
Not alot to discuss is there really, one is injured the other didn't have the worlds greatest game today ...So you’re not here to talk about Dier and Rose then....
As cover, I completely agree. The problem is Poch dosen't see him as cover. He sees him as an integral part of our best 11. He isn't. He's not half the DM Wanyama is. He's our 4th best CB. But watch, Alderweild will be back and starting most matches soon. That will most likely force Sanchez or Son onto the bench. The fact that Dier will be seeing major minutes over either is gross.To challenge for honours, besides having a solid starting 11, we would also need a strong bench.
Dier is currently the best DM cover when Wanyama is unavailable.
Dier is also the best CB cover for Jan, Toby and Sanchez.
He also has the ability to smoothly slip into the centre of the defence (when playing with 2 CBs) when
we are in defence mode.
There are other more urgent areas to improve - like finding adequate cover for Kane and Eriksen.
