Seems odd for us to say we are not in for him. He is the kind of next level player we should be signing to progress with this team. On the fringes of one of the BIG clubs, for us he'd play every week when fit.
It is a bit odd. Possibly us bending over backwards to give Dier assurances, in the face of interest in him. If memory serves correct, the Dier and Kovacic statements were side by side. However, doesn't make full sense as I'd see Kovacic as more of a danger to Dembele and Winks. He's a player I've long admired, and I think he would be a superb signing for us. Don't want him to impede Winks, however, Dembele is getting on a little, in a few years time a rotation of Kovacic and Winks would be great
