Ade, Alli & is Wanyama any better than Dier?

A quick roundup of news and a question about Eric Dier in his new role, how does he compare to Victor Wanyama?



Emmanuel Adebayor has gone AWOL yet again, not bothering to turn up for the Togo squad and as usual not bothering to tell anyone. He won't be playing much football between now and January, he'll play none for Spurs. He is not in the Premier Lague squad so it would be against the rules to pick him and he has not been declared for the UEFA Europa League either so he can't play in that.

If he thought the club were bluffing when they said he wouldn't be in the squad he has now found out they weren't. Still it's only football and he isn't interested in playing that, only flaunting his wealth that he tries to claim he is earning for his charitable causes. he next wage should be about half what he is on now with any luck.

Eric Dier has started the season well as a defensive midfielder and Dele Alli has startled a few people with just how good he is. Both start for the England Under-21 side against the USA Under-23 side tonight. Pochettino took one look at Alli playing for MK Dons last year in the hammering of Manchester United in the League Cup and insisted that he be bought as soon as possible. It was felt he will be going right to the top of the game and we hope that is the case. He has been tremendous in training, raising quite a few eyebrows and has already scored his first goal for us, what should have been the winner against Leicester City.

Tottenham tried to buy Victor Wanyama who was not for sale and is rumoured to have said he wants to leave. I have also read that he is refusing a new 5-yar contract and intends to run his current one down, no doubt just speculation from a journalist and as he was nowhere near the top of our list it does rather beg the question, what can he provide Spurs that Eric Dier can't?

Is there much of a difference between the two, even though Dier has only been playing the role 5 minutes? Physically maybe, aerial ability no, vision no, tackling arguably, reading of the game, probably too early to tell, distribution definitely not, goalscoring potential no. With further games and further development will he catch Wanyama up and overtake him, indeed is he far behind?
