Eric Dier

115 dislikes is good going.

And mine....116

 

[spurs mental]

Good riddance. Should have gone 6 years ago. Useless

Weird deal. 6 month contract?

Think Bayern did somthing like that last year with Daley Blind as well.

Anyway, really happy for Eric, only the best wishes.

Is this the most disliked post ever?!
That's some doing, to get 90 dislikes.

It’s 122 as I write this, and fully deserved

I think getting an Ignore from me is a more damning indictment, but I do have an inflated view of myself

It's been a cracking team effort.
Well done SC.

Fuck sake so that means hes coming back

 

[felmani26]

Am I missing something, why have an option when he’s going to be out of contract?!

 

[Erm33]

So it's a loan.

Makes sense, it gets Eric off the wage bill, get gets to play football and should they decide to sign when he's out of contract in the summer we get a fee for it.

So it's a loan just to get his wages off our books until he can leave on a free or Bayern take the option to sign him in the summer with no competition if he does well?

No it doesn’t.

It really feels like an end of an era now that Eric’s gone along with 95% of Poch’s old squad.

I can’t lie it feels a bit sad, but also very exciting for the start of a new one with Ange.

As one door closes, another opens!

So we're only getting a performance-related fee if an appearance clause is met?

How do Bayern have an option to buy him in the summer if he isn't under a contract? Surely they would have to trigger the clause before his contract expires, presumably on 30 June...

I can’t say I’ve seen that done in practice before on a player who’s contract is running down but if we can recoup anything further than salary saved then all the better!

Regardless, it’s a win-win all round this.

if he does well. There will be competition.
We still get a loan fee. But that’s pretty much the transfer fee anyway. Means he is still a free agent come summer.

Wish Eric all the best, been a good servant and we should respect that.

That's how it seems when looking at some of the Tweets from today and the loan. At the end of the day, getting the wages off are a success. But if we get a few million on top of that, it'd be a bonus.
