He needs to go, no argument from me. There’s just no need to pile in on him. Wish him well and look to the future.but we need good footballers, and Dier isn't

With Lenglet's loan ending and Sanchez and Tanganga both complete liabilities, selling Dier should be low priority. We'll need him next season as a 3rd or, ideally, 4th choice squad option. He's not good enough to be first choice but we can't afford to turnover the entire squad at once and we'll need him to make up numbers for another year or two.
He's also clearly a popular member of the squad, helps to translate/link between different sections of the squad and has a good character so a solid guy to have around the place.
Not unless the terms are in our favour and he's happy to be 4th choice long term (which I don't think he will).Do you think we should give him a new contract?

While it would be a fairly unpopular move, I don't think it's the absolute worst idea, though, for the reasons I said in my previous post.
You do need a few good character, back-up, squad guys like Dier and Davies around the place. The problem right now isn't the fact that Dier is in the squad, it's the fact that he starts every bloody game.
While he's far from elite, he's really not a bad option to have as a squad player. Since White's moved to RB, Arsenal's 3rd choice CB is Rob Holding FFS and they're gonna win the title.
No way we release a HG player and retain Sanchez
Eric Dier's formative years in Portugal mean that despite being an England international he does not qualify as a homegrown player.

Personally i think Sanchez needs to go before Dier.

Personally I think both need to go in the Summer, and I really don't care which one goes first.
I'm probably in a club of 1 here but I'd be sad to see him leave.
