Dier is a disaster in a high line, his pace has gone to shit. In pre season Ange was preferring Davies a left back to Dier.
The only way this makes sense is if Philips and Dorrington are ready for the first team.

Dier is a disaster in a high line, his pace has gone to shit. In pre season Ange was preferring Davies a left back to Dier.
The only way this makes sense is if Philips and Dorrington are ready for the first team.
Which in all lilkelyhood means he said it might happen rather than declaring that it would......
And not "they" the club then...? ........And not for "most of the summer"?
They also agreed in that instance.
We likely asked COS they can clearly afford it.... Nice can't and thus we presumably wouldn't.
You can't tell me Dorrington and Phillips are worse than Sanchez and Dier.
I'd rather just take my chances.
I'd rather just take my chances.
Exactly. Before the season start this season was seen as a re-building season.
But the 2nd place after 4 games may have changed the mind-set into CL spot chase. Sure, I would course take a CL spot (or EPL title) this season but still the squad-rebuild should be of importance as well, otherwise Spurs may end up as they did under Conte.
I think you mean Dorrington and Phillips. Though I'd take my chances with Williams over Dier, whoever he is.
They might be we don’t know. You end up with Dorrington an 18 year old get slaughtered game after game it’s going to look really bad. I am all for throwing the kids in but not due to negligence of the club. Sanchez has only to be here till Jan then we can buy a CB or two and job done.
So far Ange has shown he doesn’t rate Dier and would rather Philips be on the bench and even Davies move to CB but he will play Sanchez.
It was discussed as an option during the summer.
Williams is a tall muscular 18 year old winger.
But lets talk to him about becoming a CB .......
Exactly are they going to make mistakes as young players, yes, but will it be any worse than the other two, probably not.

This guy has been pretty spot on...
I wouldn't be letting Sanchez go now but I guess it means Ange is comfortable with Phillips being Romero's back up and Davies being VDV back up.
It's a huge gap up from U-18 & U-21 footy to the EPL. Huge. The standard of the U-18 league is below all the senior leagues in Europe, and you don't expect an "excellent" CB from those league to performs well in the EPL.
I am NOT saying Dorrington isn't ready - that's for Angelos to figure out.
Williams who?
Slightly reticent on selling Sanchez because Phillips has so little experience but if Ange thinks it is for the best I am ok with it as long as it does not mean Dier will return to the fold.
Which basically translates as what I just said.
"He mentioned it might(*) happen rather than declaring that it would......"
(*potentially nothing more than speculation on his part.)
......Which is a long way off what you originally said about the club talking about it all summer.
