Eric Dier

[yawa]

Lurch needs to be shown the door this summer. If/when he goes, good luck to him but will be over the moon when he is someone's else's problem and we can finally stop discussing him.

He'll stay. Purely because we cant go all Nottingham Forest and replace 22 players. There's probably a good number of players who need to go first.

Who could possibly need replacing before Dier?

He’s needed to be replaced as a first team starter for at least 4 seasons

Lost count of how many goals he’s at fault for every season

A big part of our recent decline - accepting mediocrity

 

[The Apprentice]

He'll never leave.

He'll never leave.

He’ll be our manager after Mason

What price is he? Might lump on

Dier must have a video of Levy shagging someone at one of Dele Ali's party's
No other explanation for him playing for us still.

…. and don’t forget, he’s looking at giving him a new contract.

Truly unbelievable.

Fans and managers love the idea of Dier and for some reason back him despite him playing a leading part this mediocre dog show. I'm glad that fans are finally starting to give him the stick he deserves.

It’s time to move on and there is no place for anything sentimental on the road we need to take as a club. Dier isn’t the only one who needs to be show in the door but that discussion is for the Painful Rebuild and Levy out threads.

Anyway, just my two cents.

If only we could turn back time and have flogged him to Man Utd for 50m when Mourinho wanted him. Wouldn’t give you a fiver for him now. Such a limited player. If he is here next season if better be as a bench warmer, if he is in the starting 11 there will be no improvement.

If we are to go 4 at the back, he drops back down to being 5th choice cb again for me

I agree but we know that won’t be the case unfortunately.

True. But our defence needs a complete reboot IMO. Would be madness to offer Dier a new deal.

and Dele too, but if we did so they would probably become world beaters and we would be mocked as a selling club again

Sanchez and Tanganga will need to be replaced. Dier will need to play less and be phased out before sold I think. I would even just let him run his contract down some more. The reason to keep him would be his professionalism behind the scenes. He's still a leader among the players but he's just not that good. I would look at 2 new centre backs and Dier almost becomes a 4th choice.

As bad as Dier can be I'd still have him starting ahead of Sanchez, Tanganga and Rodon, personally. In an ideal world Dier would be one of the first on the list to go but those three need to go before him IMO.

Dier can certainly make mistakes but I think you have more of a capability to not notice that he's there if the team is playing really well, more so than if Sanchez or Tanganga in particular were on the pitch as sometimes everything they do can feel shaky and panicky.

One thing's for sure though, he can't be considered to be anything more than backup, and ideally 4th choice.

I don’t disagree although I think Romero could come good with some solid players around him.

But yes I’d be disappointed if we ended up with the same defensive lineup for the first game of next season.

Just shows what an absolute shitshow our squad is in when you potentially have to go through 2/3/4 worse Central Defenders before you even get to Dier

That still takes nothing away from the fact that Dier should not be a starting CB for us nor should he have been for years!

Disgraceful mismanagement and lack of joined up thinking from our club

Absolute
