Stay. Relentless Or Otherwise, Mate

By The Boy -

Are Bayern Munich looking to swoop the boy Dier?

Pochettino said: “When he was playing like a midfielder, centre-back, full-back, he has never come to say to me: ‘I’m not happy to play in that position’.

“We are talking about rumours so it’s too difficult to say things.”

“Eric Dier, for me, he’s 22 years old, he’s a player that arrived as a 19-year-old here and after two years and a half, he has played more than 40 games every season,” said Poch

“Like all the younger players, sometimes you can use him in a different position but his quality… he’s a player that can play in a different position and that is important for every coach.

“We’ll see in the future which position can give his best football but for me he’s a player that can play as a centre-back, a midfielder, sometimes like a full-back.

“The most important thing for the young players is to be in the starting XI and play and try to improve with regular games.”

Dier’s amenability is undoubtedly a positive thing, but history isn’t littered with players who played in a different position each week.

A concern might be that an interested club might ‘sell’ Eric a regular spot in a regular position. Hey, maybe he likes variety.

I’d get him to specialise and get him to show us how good he might really be.

What’s crucial is that we don’t lose anyone (apart from Sissoko) anytime soon.
