Said this on Saturday; not buying anyone might not be ideal but it gives a massive incentive to players like Lamela, Winks and Moura to really scrap to be part of the starting xi. It also says to Dier he has a significant opportunity to develop his game as a CDM, with Victor out for a while
I know, a lot of ifs ands. But Dier was an absolute essential to us in the second half of the 2015-16 season in the CDM role. I hope he really pushes on this season. He’s a tough fucker so hopefully the responsibility will elevate himIt does, but Winks has had two ankle ops and it could take him quite a while to get back to where he was before.
As for Dier, I love the guys attitude but I remain unconvinced by him in midfield.

Both look like they have been out training from the photos on Twitter! Hope they have a chance for the Fulham game.
