I like them, but they are average players. Don't know what happen to Dier as he was very good in the beggining, now he seems to lack the athleticism to play football and are suffering the obvious problems of adapting to a new position. Winks is probably not good enough to be a starter but I would like him to stay at the club to slow down the tempo when we are winning the matches.

Totally agree. I loved Daws, he had a lot of heart, but he wouldn't get in this team and Dier is faster AND more solid than him overall. At the end, Daws had to go, even thought it was a sad day.
This thread has some really some creative writers
It sure does, for me it’s hard to forget Daws getting the run around in the two 5-1s and a 6-0 against City, a 5-0 against Liverpool, a couple of 5-2s against Woolwich, he was not able to handle playing a more modern style of football.
Great player for when we played 442/451 and our defence sat in front of the penalty box, before Liverpool and City became decent opponents. When we started to progress and play on the halfway line against teams that pressed high? He was a dead man walking.
Amazingly Regulon is the only defender that I really like.
Rondon is at least as good as Dier, who just seems clumsy and gives too many pens away.

Dire, just like Dele is painfully average footballer that benefited from playing next to great players like Dembele, Eriksen and Kane.
We should have cashed in for both in 2017/2018 for overinflated fees like Leicester did to Maguire and Chilwell or Palace with Wan Bisaka.

Watching England last night and Maguire being sent off. After being totally embarassed by us the week before and thinking "every Leicester fan alive must be killing themselves laughing"

The reason I can't see us moving Dier on though is the only person I know of that wanted to buy him was Mourinho
Never thought I'd say it but we missed him today, if he is in the side and not the walking disaster Sanchez we win todays game.
Dire is not any better
Dier would've ballsed it up for us in a different way - a totally new and unheard of way that I can't imagine yet, but as always with spurs, we will definitely see it at some point this season.
I'm putting all my eggs in the basket labelled "Tanganga & Rodon".

Dier and Rodon will be our first choice pairing within a few Prem games I reckon
I’m not sure if that excites me or worries me. Never seen Rodon play but looks like a good prospect. Dier can be fantastic one game and shocking the next. But he is more of a leader than Toby and Sanchez in my opinion.
Exactly that. Ideally it would be Toby and Rodon but think Dier is pick number one for Jose.
Think today's display has relegated Sanchez to midweek for a while. Keep Toby with him but switch them so Toby is LCB.
Rodon can't play midweek so he joins Dier on Monday. Hopefully they do well and, if so, then keep them together.
Is now the most important player in our squad. What a weird alternate Universe we live in.
Our season, at this moment. Rests on his fitness.

Perhaps you might want to explain how.......
He has been our best performing CB since the lockdown. Much better physically than Toby and less prone to random errors like Sanchez. A reliable passer of the ball too. He's not perfect but he's our best all rounder at the moment.
Spot on! but don't talk sense.. the agendas will be upset
Dawson is the most overrated Spurs player of the last 15 years. Yeah I said it.
He's been the best but the bar is low right now. It's similar to bigging up Pavlyuchenko for being our best performing CF in 2010-11. (Go look up the goal totals of Pav/Defoe/Crouch from that season)
