Could tick the experienced box. Dunk is definitely struggling through injuries so maybe they feel they need that additional experienced back up if they have concerns over Dunk.

If it is genuine, I wonder if some of it stems from the club starting to have injury concerns about Dunk?

As he’s got older he appears to be picking up more niggles and knocks. He wouldn’t be the first player to reach 32/33 and then have stop-start seasons due to injury.

Few murmurs still.

I don't love him.

But ....

He's a very good pro
Bags of experience
Can play DCM and CB and we need this.
Not too injury prone (kiss of death)

Available on a free at the end of the season

Has played 274 games for spurs including a champions league final. 49 games for England. And 21 games for Bayern Munich, many this year. And is only 30.

Do you seriously not think he's good enough for us lol ?

We have plenty of ballers , loads of kids for the future. We need more steel and experience
And quality with pace.

We don't need more "steel and experience" in defence, already have oceans of it. Dunk, Veltman, Lamptey, Igor, Webster, Pervis all got 5+ years of playing in the top 3 leagues in the world. We have all the experience we need in that area and if anything, we need to bring in more talent that can challenge these experienced players.

Eric Dier is a decent player but imho a 31-year-old defender on a similar level as our current ones isn't something we need right now.

Just far enough away from LDC
Given how we didn't replace gross and are missing the calm heads like lallana and milner, it's not the worst call
