Eric Dier

[Riandor]

But Tottenham have stubbornly refused to sell...

How dare a club refuse to sell a player Manchester United.

I know right, but it's because they are from a world perspective, still the biggest british club going. A few drab seasons does not change that, especially when they can splash insane cash on Pogba and then Lukaku.

They are seen in all media, here and abroad, as the equivalent of Real Madrid or Barcelona in Spain, or Bayern Munich in Germany and so when they want a player, the spin is that they should get said player and any team refusing are being plucky or stubborn above their station.

The waters muddy with Chelsea and Man City, but effectively, there is a collective image will, that Manchester United be considered the darlings of the EPL. A couple of seasons in the top 4 won't change the opinion of us. We are still behind in terms of finance, fan base, stadium, trophies etc... and as such we will have to put up with this for years, probably until we have won the EPL, presumably more than once. Until then, we are a plucky mid to large club who still needs to understand our position in the media fuelled food chain.

Dier, for his quality, presence and more importantly tactical adaptability should not be sold at any price.

The kid is unique in English football. He's gold dust.

But United are complete scum. So are many of their cretinous fans

Utd fan's of a certain era are just complete tools.

You'd think there'd be some humility after being taken to the cleaners by Juve last year, Everton this year and pretty much every club they've dealt with in the last few years - but nope.

Like Bale
and Griezmann
and James Rodriguez
and Morata
and Kane
and Fabinho
and Matic

Did well signing Bale, Jon Obi Mikel, Sergio Ramos, Kane, Pedro... think I made my point

this rumour isn't going away

this rumour isn't going away

Because linking Man U to anyone gets web clicks.

They can like him all they want but it's been clear we're not selling.

It'll go away when Ed Woodward briefs the media that they've moved on.

 

[GetSpurredOn]

There does always seem a media torrent, almost like it's a bargaining tool setup by United to unsettle, and ultimately secure whoever they want. Like saying if they keep talking about it, eventually we'll just give in to shut them up. Classic bully boy tactics, but this time I get the feeling they're in for a surprise.

Firstly I cant see why Dier would want to join Man U.
Secondly, If Levy were to sell Dier to a rival......well..then we are not going forward anymore. If spurs is gonna "rise" (stated in Nike commercial) we cant be selling our best players.

The problem is that the player and his family all support Man U and although he is very happy here, he would ideally like to go.
Disappointing but true.
I don't think he will cause a fuss if he isn't allowed to go.

Not sure that's true, his dad was an Everton supporter.

Now there's a good reason not to sell him to them.

The Club have said he's not for sale, end of!

Him and his dad were Everton fans

He was on trial there that's all.
Absolutely hated it.

I always thought it was Everton too but this seems to confirm it
