Ex-Spurs Player Eric Dier

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

If he gets fit, he is probably still capable of playing PL football. Just not for us. Thankfully Ange seems to have decided early on this. Best for all that he goes.
 
In case it wasn't already apparent - he's a terrible fit for Angeball. Postecoglou won't be changing the style of play just to squeeze him into the lineup either. Seemingly, we can infer that Eric doesn't want to leave the club this window, and I'd be gobsmacked if we gave him a new contract, so he'll be off for free next summer.

In some respects, thank god we're not in Europe this season and can therefore minimise the amount we need to use Dier (if at all). Honestly, he's a nice guy and I fear for how vitriolic the crowd might get towards him if he's allowed to play for any extended period of time.
 
No sitting on the fence from me. He’s a meat head useless cunt!! I couldn’t careless about the years service. He’s been largely shite for us for years and how the fuck he keeps surviving managers i will never know. Get rid ASAP and that bambi on ice twat Sanchez. Sick to death of Laurel and Hardy.

If Dav goes, he could become the new boo magnet — so much for ‘I love Eric Dier’.

Having said that, there are a whole bunch of new players that the Enfield taxi drivers could just as easily target after their first costly mistake.

All a bit of a lottery at this point.
 
what makes you say that? hes just allowed an opposite team to score a goal! thats not a decent guy, thats a fucing cunt whos just shat all over his own team mates. the only thing he works hard at is trying to mask his fucking shitness. hes a fucking turd.

Being crap at football doesn't make you a "cunt"........ Fuck off.

He's evidently a real good guy...... The same can't be said for you and your toxic gob.


You're the same 'thing' that called Sonny "a pathetic excuse for a man".
 
I agree.

We've heard Dier wants to stay & won't agree to a move.

Maguire tried to dig his heels in at yanited, & Ten Haag has inflicted humiliation upon humilation on him until he agrees to go to spam or wherever.

Dier seems a good, inttelligent person, so I don't want any such humiliation. He should leave with dignity.

But I think Ange now needs to say: "Eric, you're not going to play in my system. In fact, you're not even going to get a squad place. So let's try to get you a good move."
Maguire is very much part of the national set up and still in demand. Dier is neither. I don’t know that you can humiliate him enough for him to go. How would that work? Not give him a squad number? Give Ash Phillips a squad number over him? Sounds good but other professionals will be watching and see how he’s treated by the club and it doesn’t send a good message.
He makes 85k a week. What do we think his next contract will be worth? 40k if he’s extremely lucky — probably less. The difference between his current salary and what he’ll make if he goes somewhere else will represent a year’s wages or more.
Probably the best tactic would be to try and buy him out at 50%.

Fuck "humiliating him". He doesn't deserve that.

Man U have treated Maguire like a bunch of cunts.... Even though the've pampered and pandered to all sorts of average or worse players over the recent years.... Jones, Smalling, Lingard, Martial amongst others..... Fucking Pogba.

I’m not suggesting we do. I’m wondering what was meant by it.
I’ve said before that managers and clubs who do that to players probably find themselves unpopular amongst potential recruits
 
He's shite as the plodder in a back three, defensive team.

It's fucking harrowing how bad he'll be in a back four with a high line requiring recovery pace and aggressive man-to-man defending.

Shocking today and don't want to see him ever play in a PL match again

I'm calm.... If we bring 1 more in, he'll be 6th in the pecking order at which point he'll be nothing more than a training body and a mascot if he insists on staying.......

Rom
VDV

Davies
Phillips
Dier

I bloody hope so because it's a car crash waiting to happen otherwise.

Yep, we still need another CB. I'm still hoping for a ready-made, experienced one to slot in ahead of VDV....
