[RUMOUR] Eric Dier

My friend Jamie who works in the Media department has said that Eric Dier is close to agreeing a loan deal. Apparently Tottenham would prefer to play Winks/Sissoko over him. Dier keen to come as it's not a million miles from his gaf.

What do we think?
I'd play him over Doucoure any day of the week.

 

Never gonna happen. Close thread.

 

Luckily this definitely isn't happening because he is utter crap, and I fully expect him to drop to his true level over the next couple of years.

 

You won't be saying that come this Friday pal.

 

Really hope this is just a joke. He’s awful. You’d play him over Doucs ? Have you never watched either player ?

 

If it is true (not sure I believe it is yet) you shouldn’t be name dropping your mate like that! Couldn’t they get in trouble?

 

Mods. Move it to ‘the safe’ or edit. Will no one think of Jamie!

 

If this is true then I am going to start crying

 

I don’t believe this is true but will humour it for a minute as if it is...plus there was some guy on here the other day (Spanish flag for avatar) who said we’d be signing Sarr, a capped English player and one other...could there be genuine ITK’s on here???

Anyway. If Dier was brought in on loan in the guise of letting Doucoure go, it’s a god awful deal. But - if it was a stand-alone deal, I really don’t see the issue. Can play CDM and with doubts over Cleverley and Chalobah, that’s no bad thing. Can also cover at CB and also at RB. Is homegrown, has international experience, played regularly for a Top 6 club, good age...and crucially doesn’t take a huge chunk out of what transfer budget we have.

I’d welcome the move personally.

 

Ah yes, this will the be the year that the 'big names' of the past want to use the little clubs in order to try and get into the Euro 2020 squad.

The thing is, Eric Dier should never have ever been near an England squad even if they ran out of players.

Utter *****.

 

He would be an OK signing in my book as he is a very versatile player and certainly as good as most of the players we have and possibly better than most.

 

Dier is dire.

 

Versatile in that he is equally crap in a number of positions. Better than what we have given that he’s an expensive 4/10 whereas our existing back up is 3/10.

 

I'm glad to see agree with me that he would be an improvement on what we have already got

 

Never rated the guy personally but some decent coaches seemed to have done in the past.

Assuming both still here then would have him behind Caps and Doucs in Midfield but reckon he could do a decent job at CB for us.

 

I’d welcome the move for the reasons I’ve said in my post. But in no way shape or form would I play him over Doucoure. Just no.

Also - are you sure your friend ‘Jamie’ would be keen on you using his name and job on here to give us this info?!

 

I'd like to take the opportunity to wholeheartedly welcome Jamie in Media to the WFC Forums Transfer Section joke rotation. Welcome, Jamie in Media.

 

Ahead of Cathcart at CB?
Certainly not ahead of Capoue/Doucoure in CM but good cover.

 

I’d also point to the fact that Pochettino regularly picked him in games against the other Top 6 clubs. Having a player like that amongst our ranks might be being looked at as an option to sort out our own deficiencies against those clubs.

 

Good one

 

Jamie is a top top top rumourmonger.

 

It's a bit early to throw him into first team contention. Best let him have a good pre-season and we can have him ready to go for the January window.

 

Hi Guys, just spoke to Jamie. He's asked if we try not to use his name so can we just refer to him as "Bob" from now on?

 

Jim-Bob it is.

 

Cheers.

 

Over rated but very much good enough for us. Not England quality and I would be amazed if he came here but he would improve us without question

 

if this was in anyway true, he could only possibly play CB. He'd be at least 7th choice as a CM (Doucs, Caps, Quina, Cleverley, Chalobah and Dele-Bashiru) and 3rd choice RB.

 

One for the U23s

 

Fornals, Rice, Diop, Noble, Lanzini, Balbuena, Wilshere.

Not sure he gets a game for WHU.

 

Good that he’s coming home, was sad when he & Furlong were sold

 

Can you tell Jamie that I'm not going to believe any of his rumours until he creates an account on here and posts them himself?

 

@wfcmoog

 

Has Jamie anymore worldly transfer predictions, because it looks like he has nailed this one. Either that or he is a prize tool.
