Ex-Spurs Player Eric Dier

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

I read the comments of that tweet the club has put out about Dier and I've had it with our fans with their constant abuse to our players, I'd rather they fucked off than our players who aren't perceived good enough, absolute fucking cancer.
 
Spurs social media team never read the fucking room.

Who thought this was a great idea to release documentary of player that overwhelming majority of fanbase want him out of the club during the transfer window ?

Is it PR job because he has already signed the contract and they’re still scared to announce it due to fan’s backlash ?

Those comments reflect and represent the significant majority of THFC fanbase.

You could argue that the anger should be more directed at ownership for failing to replace/upgrade on these substandard players.

It's just a fucking tweet

Our social media fans need to go outside and touch grass
Dier is human but at the end of the day fan is short for fanatic. Don’t expect normal/rational behaviour.

We’ve had our worst season in 14 years, conceded the most goals in 15 years, Dier is meant to be our defensive leader no?

To me the fans gave him way more rope than others.

Let’s be fully honest here; Do we believe that we can compete and challenge for honours whilst he remains an important cog of the squad? I say no. If you believe the opposite, I fully admire your optimism.
 
It was literally one season ago where everyone on here was slagging Southgate off for not picking him for the England squad and people were suggesting we could challenge city with him at the heart of defence!

Sounds like this doc is going to reveal some stuff about his fitness/health issues so it could be interesting.

I wouldn't have a problem with Dier being a squad player. I am just going to trust Ange to make these decisions and get behind the players that want and Ange wants to be here, it's quite simple really.

Context matters - He was up against Maguire and Coady. Now look at them, Colwill is on the rise and it’s obvious he is a much, much better player than all 3.

There’s nothing that suggests he can contribute anything positive in a 2 CB high line defence.

I’d cancel his contract.

At any other club, he'd be lauded...

An English player, brought up with Continental football values, multi lingual, a sensible head on his shoulders, articulate, and CLEARLY loves football...

No, he hasn't quite been the same since that nonsense in the crowd after the Norwich Cup game.... the last game before Lockdown... and I feel that's crucial, cos that's his abiding memory .... That's what people remember....

Prior to that, I had him down as future TOTTENHAM captain, and part of me still does....

There's summit about him that is just class... and far beyond your average footballer... Despite the last season.... EVERYONE FAILED last year... even Son!

Clean slate I say... Ange will get summit out of him, I (almost) guarantee it!

I love Eric Dier... Eric Dier loves me...!!
