I think you’re creating binaries here. Nobody expects three Eriksen’s in CM- to suggest people expect that is just as unreasonable as the expectation itself. Poch himself has publicly stated that Dier is a much better CB than a CM. We don’t have to sign Pirlo mark II to probably get a more natural number 6 than Dier.Do you all realize how rare those players are? Rabiot isn't defensive enough to play as a lone deep midfielder. Pirlo's and Xabi Alonso's don't grow on trees. Hell even Xabi Alonso played alongside Mascherano and Khedira. Dier is a perfectly capable defensive midfielder. We don't need three players of Eriksens passing ability in midfield, thats unreasonable.
