He was only dropped by all of those managers when his injuries affected his performance. All of them have SAID SO.
They all say he's a top quality CB. Mourinho wanted to pay 50 million for him ffs

Jose also spent 80 million on Lukaku. His idea of what makes a good footballer is outdated by about ten years.
All of them said he only got dropped because of injuries? Find the quotes. Post them.
Not even in the England setup ffs. Top quality? Top is VVD or Rudiger. You see what Rudiger did at times this game, just dominating players with his athleticism, speed, aggression? Not just being passive and avoiding engaging.
Dier is a mid tier CB on a good run who will return imminently to the bench.
Bayern will be kicking themselves.
We seem to have differing ideas of what the term "top quality" means. You seem to be defining it as what I would call "world class" and no, Dxier is not that.
But anyone who goes into Bayern and become their number 1 CB and performs excellently in consecutive CL finals is what I define as "top quality".
But if you want to hate on him I won't stop you
He was shite for us for ages.Pochettino, Mourinho, Conte and Tuchel have all said Dier is a top quality CB.
Weird how wrong they are and some Spurs fans on dodgy forums have it right...
Not rewriting history.
I'm cool with him after the way he handled scum, tho.
Hope he goes all the way (not likely now, tho tbf)
Bayern suits him.
Good on him.
He isn't their number 1 CB, De Ligt is.
Bayern's centre backs are poor. Upamecano has been borderline atrocious all season and Kim (as we saw today) has transitioned terribly to German football. Again, Dier is stable and does not dive in. At the moment that's enough. He's not doing anything especially impressive.
Top quality is a centre back who could play well in all systems. A centre back who can do well in a low-block setup isn't top class, he's situational. I don't 'hate' Dier (he's a likable enough guy) but I do disagree with the idea that a run in this Bayern team makes you top class. Laimer was great tonight, I don't rate him all that much overall either.
And Dier wasn't 'excellent' tonight. He was fine. Solid and unexceptional. No defensive actions of note, but carried the ball well out from the back. A quick look at most post-match media ratings and he's averaging a 6/10. The fact you view that as excellent tells me you're probably a bit biased in his favour.
I'll take the compliment of the mention.
I'm not changing on Kane. Super player but not a Bale or a Drogba in their different ways. It's a statement on the evidence.
Today it's just Real Madrid. Freakish in this competition.
He was definitely a bit better than a 6/10. He was a 10/10 compared to his partner. But overall he gave a pretty good performance against a quick attack that doesn't suit his game.
Kane destroys Drogba in most things, other than aerial ability and scoring in the biggest games which Drogba made a habit of for what was a very strong Chelsea side. But in terms of overall quality and footballing intelligence it's not even close.
100% more enjoyable.
So nice to enjoy decent football without panicking that some c*** rivals are going to win. Would love H to get the big one mind you.
Haha, no, just polish his bonce.
Levy style, gotcha
Kim and Upemecano have both been complete disasters this season. Kim has a lot of energy but there is nothing to suggest he can play football.
That is mental.
If Bayern can win at the Bernabeu I think they'll go on to win the competition, which would be amazing for Kane. Think it would also be good for England too leading into the Euros. Although I do consider Real pretty strong favourites now, Bayern do have the right players to play a counter attacking game away from home.
