Not convinced about Dier, he is good, i'm just not sure he is good enough. For the money being spoken about why aren't we looking at Naby Keita? He is as impressive as there is about atm.
Exactly the rule is there to support playing with players that grew up in an english football academy. It is not there to support playing with players that have english nationality as that would be quite racist.
Most players that count as homegrown have the english nationality but that doesn't mean that if you have the english nationality you count as homegrown.
The rule makes a ton of sense to me.
jose wants some players with PL experience I reckon.
And I feel the same as you about Dier.
Smalling + £10m
I thought it meant that he won't count as HG for CL but HG for League.
I quite like Dier, think he could do well.
He doesn't count as HG for league
Wasn't the rule that all British players count as HG?
No, they have to have been registered for 36 months at a British club (doesn't have to be continuous) before their 21st birthday to be considered homegrown. Dier didn't, so he isn't homegrown
If Sigurdsson, Barkley and Dier were to be the cycle, what price do you think each would go for?
Well, i understand it, but still find it stupid
But how on earth can you bring racism into it?
Nationality and race isn't the same, and even if it were, it still wouldn't be racist.
Tired of the racism card being used everywhere....

It would probably break EU labor laws if it was by nationality.
35 for Barkley because he refuses to sign a contract and 60 for Dier
With Walker leaving I can guess Glaston's speech about not selling to rivals was a load of nonsense.
That angle about Dier can be put to rest.

Waiting to read his excuse. I guess it will be "He isn't a star player".Well the voting is closer than I thought.
Our policy is not to sell to our rivals....Apart from the players we do sell to our rivals...we will remain steadfast in that approach...except for when we do
Dier is decent, but I've always thought we can do better, especially for that price. I don't understand why Jose is moving for dier over Fabinho. But I don't understand why he is going for Perisic either.
Watching Smalling control the ball after watching Verthonghen and Alderweireld for years might be awkward for Spurs fans.
We have to be realistic here, Dier will cost £50m+, while we tend to give away our players. I can see West Brom coming in with a cheeky £10m bid for Smalling and ending up getting him for about £17m+add ons.
That's true, but he's just as good a defender as those 2. So, he'd be a solid third choice CB who'd get game time throughout the season.
I wonder how many of those are votes simply for a DM, any DM, though. If I interpreted that poll as Dier or no one, I'd take Dier too.
Fair enough. I know it's the unpopular opinion but I'd love to have him play for us. Has potential, young, supports us.
£50m for Siggurdson, £50m for Walker, £50m for Dier, £30m for Keane, £30m for Pickford
Premier league clubs have went crazy with their asking prices, just crazy. That is in a world where transfer fees have gone crazy in general, the PL seems to be crazy on an entire seperate level of their own.
Money we paid for Lukaku seems like an absolute bargain atm. Also I hope we stay well clear from doing business with other PL clubs if we can.

How will Levy justify not selling Dier to us after letting Walker go for the same price ?
...If slightly scewed by the Glaston effect.
Pogba was a silly oversight, but all of the others are U21s for registration purposes and are strictly reserves in terms of their squad status as far as the manager is concerned.
Having just watched us win the U20 world cup and do bloody well in the U21 Id say I could name the vast majority... but Id expect the scouts at all major clubs to be able to not only name them but give a pretty detailed synopsis and recommendations as to if they would be somebody to buy or not...How many England U18-U21 players can you name? As of this moment I couldn't name one
But seriously you couldn't name U21 payers like
Jordan Pickford
Callum Chambers
James Ward-Prowse
Nathan Redmond
Of course full respect to spurs for taking the punt on him as it is always a risk but there was certainly articles in the press about him when he was 18 choosing England over Portugal so he was almost certainly on most top uk clubs radar
Not necessarily unpopular, quite some Mancunians seem to want him for those reasons, others mainly think he's nothing special.
Not happening.
They just sold a player they wanted to sell for £50m.

Yeah I know of most of the names, if not all of them, just tend to take little interest in their career paths as most end up as also-rans (without sounding to harsh on them!)
Get that feeling as well.
At the very least Levy will push the Dier fee upwards of £50m (if that wasn't already enough).
Weren't they both holding midfielders and about the same age when United came calling?
Ditto. His style reminds me of Casemiro, which I rate really high.
I voted yes cause i trust Mourinho when it comes to defensive signings.
I watch too little football apart from United, to know every player on the planet, like most caftards seem to do.
We need a player who can slot straight into the team, Dier or Matic should be able to do that.
Matic is probably a little better than Dier but given the age of both of them, and if it's true that Dier really wants to come here, I'd happily take him.

Carrick was a more of a creative midfielder at Spurs. He played deeper once he came here.
If Kyle feck8ng Walker is worth £50m+ then do is Dier and Perisic.
Just get them done

Simply really, Dier isn't for sale, Poch seemingly didn't have a problem selling Walker. The money will be reinvested.
