He's absolutely fucking awful and has been for years.
The proof will be when he fails to succeed even at inferior clubs to ours.
If he was any good, he'd either have been sold or given a new contract and a starting place.
He does not defend. Defenders can't not defend.
Imagine sticking a lump up front, and every time they're presented with a shooting chance, they flat out refuse and give the ball away....

Better players than Dier have scored winning goals and then fallen off the face of the Earth.
It’s a sad indictment but that is probably his finest moment for us and it was his debut (maybe a bit harsh as he did some quality stuff as a dm and in back 3 for Poch)
He's had some decent moments. Assist for Dele at Stamford Bridge a highlight. Shushing the Gooners always puts a smile on my face
Dier has been a good player for us, especially considering the fee we paid. Great value.
It’s just time to move on now. He doesn’t suit the way Ange wants to play as he isn’t quick enough and isn’t composed enough on the ball (although he is not terrible). We have a manager now who doesn’t have any loyalty to the players and is judging them objectively and he has judged Dier to be surplus to his requirements.
He doesn’t deserve all this hate because he has given the best he can give during his time here, hopefully he accepts that it’s time to leave and he gets a nice transfer.

I bet if you went back and watched him playing DM in his prime, for 90 minutes, with hindsight, he'd be doing all the same things.
One incident really sticks in my mind, Liverpool at Wembley. I think we lost. He plays a blind back pass to the CD, who wasn't anywhere near where Dier passed it. Put Salah clean through on goal.
I can't actually remember if Salah scored or not tbh. There's tonnes of incidents where he does that kind of thing but the attacker doesn't score. Because there's no goal on the end of it, it didn't go down as an error leading to a goal. That convinced people he was better than he was.
He's shit.
He and Winks were two players I never wanted to see in a Spurs shirt again.
50% of the way there this summer.
Edit: the passback/through ball may have been away to Liverpool and I was watching on TV. It wasn't in the 4-1 win or 1-2 loss at Wembley that's for sure

If you are prepared to refund on Porro you can have him for free.......
How's that?
Or swap for Edwards?
Porro will come good for you guys, it has only been half a season.
He is unplayable on his day, I do seem going back to Spurs though. He was ripping them apart as well as Woolwich and Juve so I am sure multiple clubs have kept tabs on him.
It’s time for him to move on but he gets too much of a hard time. If he wasn’t English I wonder if it would be as bad?
So long as he's not used as a defender
Well I hate to break it to his two man fan club been told today we are actively looking ti find a new club for him. He's well respected and like Hojbjerg no issues if it don't happen but the agents are making calls it looks likely imho.
good way to be as a manager. no room for feelings and shit, its a cut throat result business.
he does seem like a bit of a no nonsense throwback manager . mans man who does what he thinks right, leaves the politics out of it.
Not that they've bid for him, and I've seen no mention of it anywhere, so this is in no way anything ITK, but I've just had an inspired move idea for Dier....
EVERTON!
Hear me out:
They're still a massive, historical club (so not EXACTLY a step down in SIZE) but in terms of quality, they're probably as good a fit for Dier as anyone in the Prem right now...
Plus, it's the club he was at as a youngster...
AND, you never know, his arrival could well re-ignite Dele's career by having his BFF back at his side...
Win-Win-Win??
Should we start a petition?
I should be a football agent!
Unlike some, I genuinely don't hate Dier, and still wish he'd have turned it around with us... but sadly not.
It seems the writing was in the wall BEFORE the Norwich Cup game, but that 'incident' in the crowd seems to have done for him... Shame, cos at the time, I thought it might cement his Tottenham legend status!!
I only wish the best for him... and maybe a club like Everton could well be the move/club he needs and thrives at now!
