‘I KNOW PEOPLE’: TOTTENHAM TOLD £85K-WEEK STAR COULD PLAY MIDFIELD FOR FIRST TIME IN 3 YEARS
Eric Dier, a frozen-out Tottenham star, may resume playing as a “number six,” according to Alasdair Gold.
The 29-year-old has not played for Tottenham since the team’s last preseason match against Barcelona because he has fallen out of favor with Ange Postecoglou this year.
However, as he stated on his own YouTube channel, Football London writer Gold did indicate that Eric Dier, who has previously played in midfield, right back, and center defense during his time at Spurs, may perhaps be utilized in the middle of the park once more.Dier’s last midfield appearance was against Aston Villa in 2020, and ever then, he has played center back, often to the displeasure of many of his own supporters.
The 29-year-old’s future at Hotspur Way is without a doubt in jeopardy when information about a recent meeting with Daniel Levy surfaced.
However, despite rumors that Dier may leave during the 2023 summer transfer window, he remained, and journalist Gold, who is located in Tottenham, shared his opinions on the player.Gold opined that Eric Dier doesn’t fit the Postecoglou system as well as he believes he does. He lacks the speed necessary for that high line. When the balls are tossed above his head, he will resist. He’ll have to modify his strategy.
“I do consider it possible that he may end up playing at number six once more. Whether Bissouma or Skipp also sustain injuries.”I am aware that some will just despise Eric Dier because they believe he is unworthy. Whether or whether that is accurate. I believe that he was significantly impacted by the injuries last season as well. Does he seem to match Postecglou’s philosophy? No.”You have to wonder how Dier will reenter the first-team picture, especially in midfield, given that Tottenham isn’t in Europe.
The only solution is for a few players to enter the recovery area. But if the £85k-a-week star (Spotrac) is still having difficulties in January, you have to wonder how he manages to stay.
The fact that Dier played for England last year and isn’t even being considered by Gareth Southgate for Euro 2024 must be on the player’s mind.

Brazil stars rally behind out-of-form Tottenham Hotspur star Richarlison
According to Brazilian outlet OUL (h/t Daily Mail), Tottenham Hotspur star Richarlison has found support from his Brazil international teammates as his poor form in front of the goal continues.
The 26-year-old has been out-of-sorts this season and is a pale shadow of the player who was prolific for Brazil and Everton in the past. His poor run of form continued against Bolivia as he missed a gilt edged chance to get on the scoresheet.
Richarlison was taken off midway through the second half and was seen in tears on the bench. It is pretty clear that his confidence is shot and he is facing a crisis in his career for the moment.
His international teammate, Matheus Cunha has now revealed that the player is privy to support and it is a collective responsibility of the team to do their part. The Wolves ace’s family were amongst the first to console Richarlison following his Bolivia faux pas.
Brazil face Peru in Lima next and Cunha will battle Richarlison for the starting spot upfront. Brazil boss Fernando Diniz also backed the supporters to show their sympathy and will have a difficult decision to make next time out.
“He was applauded, which shows the affection he generates among Brazilians.”
Hopefully, the Brazilian can put Peru to the sword and use it as a base to build upon. The quicker he discovers his shooting boots, the better it is for Tottenham as well.
