Wanyama is better than Dier. I wouldnt even argue. But Dier has shown to be more than capable for coming into his third season now in central midfield..
Wanyama isn't as big of a loss as some think. Clearly. We are doing more than fine without him.

The club could've saved a lot of confusion if they'd just come out and said Victor had done his ACL as soon as it happened...
Bit like Lamela's drugs ban...
And every other injury that ever happens to a Spurs player...

Bloody shame, seems like he's going to be out for a fair old time. I miss him, was integral to the way we played last season and i can't recall losing to many midfield battles when he was on the pitch, plus he's a better all-round footballer than i took him to be before he arrived, thought it was going to be just brute strength and spoiling but he has more to his game than that.
It would make so much difference having him back, purely because of the options it gives us for rotation. Just keeping fingers crossed it isn't effectively season ending.
Well it sure as shit ain’t a Cartlidge which is what we’ve been told.
Hard to complain given how well we’ve done without him and seeing how hard the press have been going for us at Wembley, creating negativity at every turn, knowing he’d be out for months might have been too much for the micro Dicks to deal with.

Gutted, Big Vic was a big part of us being brilliant last season.
We could probably do with looking over our training setup and rehab and such. Our training is great since it has made our team into beasts. But most of our injuries now seem to be long term.
Could maybe do with a few small tweaks to keep the quality of it, but lessen the risk of injury

Wanyama is hardly a miss tbh. Reckons we are better off with Dier in his position than him.
I really disagree.
As a team last season, I thought we were VERY much better than the previous one, and Big Vic was key to that.
Not to say that Dier not a really good DM/Holding MF. Great squad depth there now.
Does anyone know what he's actually done? I thought he was back in training
I feel gutted for him personally, he seems a good lad and was a big player for us last season.
However I kind of look at it like, shit happens for a reason, and the reason is Dier, Winks and Sissoko are getting more chances to shine and lets be honest they are keeping the quality levels up.
I don't want that to sound harsh on Vic, I don't mean it like that, just that we have good squad who can all play their part.
Just imagine the boost we will get when he is fit again, it will take us up another notch once he is competing for a place again, rather like when Lamela is back.
This means all throughout the season we will get these boosts when players come back. It might actually work out well for us, get a timely boost when needed.

No brace, has his knee bent 90 degrees. He’s not hobbling about on crutches. Got to at least not be as serious as ACL tear.
