He's already just about a Champion's League quality CB or DM. At 21. And we paid £4 million for him. It's the inverse of the Gareth Bale deal. We committed highway robbery.

He just looks like a no nonsense destroyer. No frills or fancy boots. He is a real throwback to a bygone era in terms of the "look" but my God, what a modern day skill set he possesses. He is a beast!! Love life, love Eric.And black boots awesome grows every game .
Becoming a very important player for us. Excellent performance today all round.He just looks like a no nonsense destroyer. No frills or fancy boots. He is a real throwback to a bygone era in terms of the "look" but my God, what a modern day skill set he possesses. He is a beast!! Love life, love Eric.

Yaya Toure. For a decade.I'll be honest, he looks like a better DM than CB at this point and he's only about two months into this role. He's going to be absolutely immense after a season or two in that position.
completely agree mate, there weren't many others on here saying that when the team sheet came out on wed-I got destroyed for saying maybe 5/6 changes and a strong team for city and monaco.He's basically said what a lot of us FANS do.
I said it midweek when we lost to Woolwich. Beating a second string Woolwich team in the League Cup wouldn't be a statement. Beating Man City at home and especially the way we did would and it has.
sorry but I dont agree with that at all, NOBODY could make Kaboul or Fazio look good-eg look at wednesday, Dier played and fazio got a fucking zero out of ten despite his protection.Players don't suddenly become terrible and then become good again. For years, due to bad tactics, the defenders at Spurs have looked bad, now they don't, because of Eric Dier and what he does for us. Dier starts providing the cover for the back 4 and suddenly Vertonghen starts looking world class again. The defense looks much more solid. Same happened with Vert in his first season with Sandro protecting him. Even if we had Kaboul playing for us right now, he will look decent due to what Dier is doing! Brilliant move to change his position. I hope we don't make him do a Phil Jones and stick him to this position he is clearly good at.
Well done. I was skeptical of the move into midfield.I will openly admit that I am not as knowledgeable about football tactics as many posters on here. So for that reason I take great pleasure in reminding you that I started calling for Eric Dier to be moved to midfield on TFC last spring. Got a little crap from some of the football intelligensia on here. But sometimes you just gotta trust me and Poch. We got this.
Should rest him against Swansea.
Would rather he miss the Bournemouth match through suspension than the Liverpool one.
Storage seems to be back and I would love to smash them as we did Aguero and Man City. We've got beat by them for stupid reasons too many times over the past few years. Time to reverse that shit. Need to be full strength.
Alli too, I think would miss Liverpool with a yellow card against Swansea.
