I took the original Kyle Walker transfer speculation as utter nonsense and look what happened. And now we read column inches about the possibility of Eric Dier heading to Bayern Munich.
Should we be concerned?

Figures touted suggest a figure of around £50m would be enough to tempt Daniel Levy into selling the 23-year-old midfielder. REALLY?
I often take anything reported in The Sun with a pinch of salt, especially with headlines like this…

Eric is contracted to Tottenham until the summer of 2021 and so I would be amazed if he ended up, by the end of this transfer window playing in the Bundesliga. Wouldn’t you?
Kieran Trippier is now set to sit out Sunday’s opener at Newcastle with Eric Dier expected to slot in at RB.

On a personal note, I believe this story should be where this red top will eventually end its days – in the gutter.
