That would be fine if Eric didn't have a good first season with us, but he did and all of a sudden he could be pushed down the the pecking order to make room for a new signing? Personally I don't like that approach, nothing against Toby, I think he's a good player, but rather have Eric starting at centre back especially after his good first season with us, meaning he now has a bit of experience in the PL and should in theory get better.
Onions I guess.
Dier was never really first choice CB. I'm just guessing as I don't have the stats but it feels like he played RB more often in the PL than CB.
Point is that everyone will have a chance to stake a claim next season as we will again play loads of games.
