Wow, he played a ton of minutes in some of our worst seasons in the past decade. Is that a good thing?

You are wrong as always. You are basically the Steve hitchen of posters.

I suppose you have the answer as to who would have been better? Look at how he plays for his country. You judging him based on 2-3 seasons having to Guard the likes of:
Sess/Perisic/Davies/Reguilon - Sanchez/Dier/Lenglett - Aurier/Doherty/Emerson and Tanganga;
All that while having Skipp/Winks/Ndombele/Sissoko/Skipp/Alli/Lo Celso/Kulu and Bentancur(Only one that means something) as Midfielder partners.

You right he was absolutely crap.
Ye, I'm wrong. He was a terrible player.

Don’t need to.

Dier wants to run his contract down and play football.

Loan does that.

Spurs rejected loans because they want money

That simply isn’t true.
They know that they can’t sell him because he won’t go.
So, a loan with his wages covered effectively gives him a free transfer and no obligation on the club’s part.
BUT HE WONT GO.
You really are obtuse and utterly unable to accept that players have agency. Too much FIFA I suppose.

What we thinking? Gallagher from Chelski? Don't think that one will happen, Tosin won't happen either, Kelly? Gone quiet, I'd be surprised if we don't launch a last minute attempt for him, still 6hrs 25min or so left to go!

He wasn’t absolute crap. He initially raised our level in midfield because winksokko was crap.

But it’s been very clear he doesn’t raise the level of the team like bentancur does.

He’s a rotation level CM that doesn’t fit our style anymore. Getting 30+m would be a good choice.

But you were on record as saying you wanted to close the academy down.

And a number of other posters remember that, so I'm not sure we have all dreamt it.

But on the practical side, if there is a manager like Poch who fails to develop youngsters from the academy .... guess what...... none are playing in the first team. Nothing to do with Spurs academy and all to do with the manager at the time (remembering it takes about 5 years to get a youngster through to first team)

Eh? I've never once said that.
If I did, I must have been in a fever and have no recollection of it.
