His impact was instantaneous to say the least. Despite tasting defeat in his debut away to Bolton, Palacios would steer Spurs to only three loses from their remaining 14 games.

We might as well just season long loan a new DM every season, 12 months good use is about all we ever get out of them, Palacios, Parker, Sandro, Wanyama... Stambouli...
Knew I'd forgotten someone.Dier too....
It's a curse of ours.
You could say the same with Sandro?
Don't think that's fair on Palacios or Dier. Both had injuries and or illnesses. With long layoffs and being in and out of the team doesn't help your form.Sandro was great for 2 and a half seasons though before an injury ruined his career.
Palacios and Dier just turned shit.

The more interesting point now is with this extended break can Dier get back to his form from a couple years ago?
Yes he wasn't that good, but we are in the same boat now as when Wilson arrived.Palacios wasn't THAT good. We just needed a DM and he provided us with something we didn't have.
Dier hasn't got Dembele next to him. Therefore I don't think he'll ever return to the form he had 5 years ago.

We just need someone to break play up effectively and use the ball. I don't think we can get a Dembele replacement FWIW.

Hard to imagine your own brother getting murdered just because you are earning loads of money in a foreign country.
Something not many could cope with I know I couldn't?
I would argue that Eric is the only player we have at the moment with the positional sense to play the DM role.Then it's pointless playing Dier in midfield.
I'm glad he's come to his senses and realises his future is at centre back.
