With the recent trend of signing extensions, it would put pressure on some players that maybe would possibly look elsewhere to go and say, "fuck it, I gotta stay with the boys."

DIER SIGNS NEW CONTRACT
Posted on 13 September 2016 - 09:15
We are delighted to announce that Eric Dier has signed a new contract with the Club which will run until 2021.
The 22-year-old joined the Club from Sporting Lisbon in time for the start of the 2014-15 season and made an instant impact, scoring the winning goal on his debut in a 1-0 victory against West Ham on the opening day.
Having played in defence during his first year at the Club, he switched to a holding midfield role for the 2015-16 campaign and became an integral member of the team. To date, he has made 87 appearances in a Spurs shirt and scored six goals.
He also received international recognition for his performances last season and, since making his full England debut in November, 2015, he has won 11 caps for his country and scored two goals.
Great news and what a delightful photo. May he boss our midfield for years to come.
IMO This is the only thread that should be alight with chatter right now. N'koudou's, Carroll's, Onomah's, Jassen's etc performances tonight do not effect our season, Dier's does.
He has been very poor in every game he has played in, including for England. We need him back playing like we know he can. Right now he looks miles off the pace, can't find a pass for shit, his closing down looks rigid and is often routed to the spot planted like an immobile tree and easily bypassed. The difference between him and Wanyama is massive. He is not quite a liability but not far from it.
What is up with him?

If Toby is out he will be playing centre-back v Leicester.
Toby is in I believe. I feel uncomfortable seeing him play at CB to be honest. He is a major worry for me.
Not sure what's going on with him - he doesn't seem to be the sort of guy who's very up himself and feels like he's made it and has some right to start games and is just pissed off that Wanyama has overtaken him.
Every one goes through a bad spell of form and at the moment, considering the position he's in, he has to be on he bench. Wanyama has come in and done everything Dier does, except looks better doing it and I never thought I'd hear myself saying that at the start of the season.
He's definitely not a centre half either. Positionally awful (which still surprises me ash is positioning as a defensive midfielder is generally quite good) - seems to give strikers a lot of space and he's far too static.

It's funny isn't it - usually competition brings out the best.
I still think that between Dier, Dembele and Wanyama we have MORE than enough quality to rotate between the three of them, rest a different one each week and still have two of the best CMs in the PL playing in the middle!
Maybe after last night, Poch might trust CCV to start alongside Jan at the back whilst Toby is still out...
Dier isn't getting the rest/rotation he needs because HE'S being asked to fill in at the back!

Yeah no denying he is about 75%. Still doesn't hide though, always there just not as decisive as last year. Also his passing is off too. Still, love the lad and his attitude.
He's still really young, and the insane schedule that every English club has to deal with means that he'll get plenty of playing time.
Yes he will get plenty of playing time but this time last year he knew that he was playing def mid in the next premiership match. Now he does not know if he will play CB because Toby is still not fit, in a back 3 like today with Toby instead of Wimmer, def mid instead or with Wanyama or on the bench. With 3 matches in the week he will play but it is for him a backward step.
