It's all about those lunging tackles when he tracks a winger down the line, must be pretty unnerving knowing he's going to smash you whenever he gets the chance. What a beast.
I wanted a DM in the summer too but I think the black box team have been smart here with the overall obsession with the position
Woolwich managed to make their 3rd choice DM last season look like a hero just for getting the basics right, let's be honest we had a journeyman like Scott Parker look like a god for a while. Nicky Butt called out player of tournament for England in 2002 for some good defending
Just saying that the prices being banded around for a player in that position like Wanyama were a bit silly and if you do have a high skilled defensive player in the ranks they can do a job there no problem. We are lucky to have Dier clearly as good as any DM out there after only 5 games which puts the positions worth into perspective now somewhat.

It is great to be proven wrong with Spurs though. I will eat humble pie all day long if I get it wrong & feel very satisfied. :dierpochhug:Another humbling one.
I'm starting to get fat from all the pie.

fuck keown the monkey looking cunt.
Still find him a boring gooner cunt though. Always banging on about Arsene(*spits) and his philosophy.Keown has talked positively about Dier for a long time, a year ago at least. Surprisingly neutral considering his history, which is something I can appreciate.
