He can defend well, make a tackle, he's quick to the ball and can progress the ball forward. Why not?

why wouldn’t a CB with speed and midfielder dribbling and ball skills playing as a DM fit Jose?
What does Eric have that Foyth doesn’t?
Experience?
Conversational Portuguese?
does that experience make him better right now?
Yes.
Eric needs to get more match fit. He was in the wars last season with injuries and illness.
JM is no mug. He is getting Eric match fit in front of others because Eric was 1st choice when fit for years in our best starting line up.
Are you Eric's mum by any chance?
I like Foyth a lot but he is as green as grass. I would like to see him get an EPL loan in January.
I said I wasn't sure.
From what I have seen, the main difference between tactics so far between Poch and Jose is the time it takes to get the ball up to the attackers.
Poch loved playing out from the rear. Which was a bit of a car crash recently. I assume it was to get bus parky teams to push up and leave space behind them.
Jose seems to have instructed the lads to hoof it up asap. Watching Toby's amazing passes is nothing like a hoof but that is the general idea.
But what I'm unsure of is if that is how Jose wants us to play or he knows how aids riddled our defense is lately so wants it far far away.
I personally feel Foyth is an upgrade on Dier in all but language skills and forehead size.

If we are going to indulge a Dm back to fitness, why not do it with Wanyama, at least what you'd get at the end of the rehabilitation would be a proper DM.
Good point.
Depends if you think Wanyama is long term or Eric is long term.
Wanyama is on his way out, literally and figuratively.
I am actually gutted he was not sold in the summer. We will only get buttons for him now I reckon.
If it was an option then 100%, he was at his best way better than Dier but he has a chronic injury.

I know Dier isn't even a medium term solution, he isn't a midfielder. I don't know if Wanyama could get back to 100%, but I'd rather 80% Wanyama than 100% Dier.
I mean, for all we know, Wanyama could just need nursing back to match fitness? He's looked no worse than Dier has in his games.
Wishful thinking. If we can get any dough for Wanyama then that will be a touch.
Eric was an integral part of our best team this century.
I am hopeful he can return to that form. It seems so is JM.
He's shown for the last 2 years + that he couldn't play at PL level on a regular basis, so very much doubt if he could ever return on a consistent basis
