We've been linked with Dier for quite some time. Last summer there were a couple of reports linking us as well, IIRC.
Anyhow, he seems like a talented CB, but will he be an immediate starter or a longer-term prospect, one for the future??
He wouldn't be a starter.

So what in your opinion, a 3rd, 4th, 5th CB?
If we just added to our current crop rather than replace, he would be 5th. He rarely starts for Sporting (9 starts in 30 games). If we did sign him, it wouldn't surprise me if we loaned him out to a lower table EPL team.

According to the portuguese press, Eric Dier, a 20 years old center back from Sporting CP is about to join Tottenham for around 5M + some percentage.

Dier is english, has 6 ft 2 in and is considered one of the most promising center backs in Portugal.

(sorry if I am breaking some forum rule, it is my first time creating a topic :))

Sporting: Eric Dier on his way to Tottenham
Negotiations are still ongoing between the parties, but may finalize in the coming hours

Eric Dier is very close to a move to Tottenham. According to the Maisfutebol wrote, the English club and Sporting still negotiate this time of the transfer station, but are close to an agreement that is pleasing to both parties .the next few hours, perhaps at most a couple of days, understanding can be full and the transfer can be made official. Segundo was possible to know both Tottenham and financial arguments for Tottenham pleases Eric Dier, who thus have the possibility playing in the home country. Either way, and as has been customary in transfers of players leonine, Sporting should remain part of the cross as a way of valuing a future transfer. Eric Dier, central twenty years, has been very by Marco Silva used this pre-season, taking advantage of the absence of Marcos Rojo, but did not yet being on the market. Sporting was open to review proposals by the player. Yet this sense, then much has been spoken of Newcastle and Everton, Tottenham emerged with convincing financial arguments. After two seasons in the Everton team B at the end of step training, Eric Dier can play for the first time at the highest level in the home country and can fight for a place in the U-21 England. The player, moreover, was displeased by the rare use last season: only 16 games, of which eleven as a starter.Completion of business, we have said, will be for hours.

Makes sense. Should be looking for a decent English teenage CB without spending £25m on Stones or £16m on Chambers. Him and lascelles will do nicely.

The Goat:
A few things that have reached The Goat.

We could go after Eric Dier our scouts have watched him a lot last year. Also we have watched Matthias Ginter as well. Both good defenders who we have been tracking. Ben Davies deal is not dead either but players agent is touting him to Liverpool more than us.
