At least they all get a decent rest this summer and come raring to go next summerMates-on master plan to get Dier, Winks, and Dele in the squad failed miserably.
When the three get sold as a package deal to Southampton, sure.At least they all get a decent rest this summer and come raring to go next summer
There you go, I’ve corrected it for you. You’re welcomeEric has been a lot better than his detractors on here allege but he has been poor in his last couple ofgamesseasons
I think he has more going on outside than most other players but can see him sticking it out another couple of seasons. Do you think he will like a return to Portugal? Play a few more seasons out there? just not good enough, thanks but time to move onI honestly think he might retire this summer
West Brom in exchange for their goalieI think he has more going on outside than most other players but can see him sticking it out another couple of seasons. Do you think he will like a return to Portugal? Play a few more seasons out there? just not good enough, thanks but time to move on
Put the useless oaf (and I was a fan for the first couple of seasons) to good use serving hotdogs in the stand.Unless Jose takes him off our hands, i reckon he's staying. Nobody else in the PL will pay him what we do.
Possibly - just think he’s a decent guy and not deluded like most players and probably realises this is it.I think he has more going on outside than most other players but can see him sticking it out another couple of seasons.

Duno didnt he say a few weeks ago that criticism of him is unfair and his had a good season, pretty delusional to mePossibly - just think he’s a decent guy and not deluded like most players and probably realises this is it.
He does have good movement and experience in the stands.Put the useless oaf (and I was a fan for the first couple of seasons) to good use serving hotdogs in the stand.
Maybe you can't polish a turd !Ledly king was a Rolls Royce of a defender. Just watching these pretenders makes me appreciate the quality he had
as a coach …. Not seeing that translate
For me, the only real surprise from England's Euro 2020 squad was Eric Dier being left out, at least of the provisional 33.
Eric's a leader, he enjoys responsibility and he has got the experience of previous tournaments. I know Gareth Southgate said it was his most difficult decision and, having worked with Eric this season at Tottenham, for the majority he was excellent, especially at the beginning.
It was the first year he committed to playing just one position but I think the team's dip in form played a part in him not making the squad. It doesn't help when you don't have a consistent partner and there are a lot of changes around the back four.
I haven't spoken to him since the last day of the season, but we obviously had discussions throughout. Even when the team was performing well and we weren't conceding many, there still seemed to be a negative narrative around the defenders. There were individual mistakes from Eric and others — and that's what people remember.
Ledley King, what does he know...
