He's good in that position but the common consensus is he lacks the legs or agility to thrive in a super fast paced environment (like the PL).
I'd be curious to know who wins at a 100m sprint between Dier and Wanyama

Take the piss all you want about him, but you haven’t really got a case.
It’s not coincidence, or in spite of him.
It’s a simple fact that we are better off using a DM. No more, no less.
If we keep winning 5-4 every match with Gazzaniga but lose 1-0 with Lloris then according to some Gazzaniga is a better keeper because he was there when the rest of them won it for us.Goalscoring and assist stats that show Dele being amongst the best Am's in the league (his goal to game ratio actually being the very best) does not matter to you but these stats that tell us nothing about Dier's individual performances prove everything.
You really are a very odd human being.
Do we win more games when Dele plays and lose less when he doesn’t?Goalscoring and assist stats that show Dele being amongst the best Am's in the league (his goal to game ratio actually being the very best) does not matter to you but these stats that tell us nothing about Dier's individual performances prove everything.

Yes its awkward because you're bringing out pointless stats despite you claiming you hate pointless stats (labelling assist stats as that lol).Do we win more games when Dele plays and lose less when he doesn’t?
Impossible to say right. Because he played 99% of the time, despite us being so poor, despite us losing games, Dele is right there anyway.
By the way, here’s the stats for the times Dele has played a full 90 this season:
P12 W4 L5 D3
In the 4 games Dele won playing 90, guess who also played 90 in those games. Dier.
Of the 5 defeats where Dele played 90, Dier did not spent a second on the pitch for 4 of them.
He played 45 minutes in one single game.
Well this is awkward.
