“With van de Ven and Romero there, who have you ever bought there that’s going to return in? There’s loads of gamers which have been there for plenty of years now and it’s not fairly labored out. Dier’s been there for 9 years now and you’ll suppose his Tottenham profession is now over contemplating the previous few weeks.
“Would he fancy it? In all probability. You’re going to a group there the place you’re most likely going to win most of the time. He’d have loads of the ball, he’s good together with his toes and he can play out from the again so it’s most likely one thing that he’ll take into consideration.
