00:00 You mentioned Eric Dier, you mentioned Heuberg as well, and the fact that Spurs don't really have any fit centre-backs.
00:08 Is their omission yesterday quite telling to use in terms of their position within the squad?
00:15 Well, I think you'd probably say both are on the transfer list looking at that yesterday.
00:19 If, you know, Heuberg can't get into the midfield when we've got so many injuries, and Eric Dier likewise.
00:25 I mean, as I say, he picked Emerson Royale yesterday, who's a full-back playing at centre-back.
00:29 So, barring any injuries to the pair of them, which I've not heard anything to the contrary,
00:35 then I would say that's them all but transfer listed.
00:39 And I think it's a little bit harsh, perhaps on Eric Dier.
00:43 He's a bit of a Marmite character.
00:44 He's been a good servant for Spurs over the years, but he was at fault potentially for at least one of the goals at Wolves,
00:51 when we lost their 2-1 in the 97th minute.
00:54 And obviously, Posta Koglu went yesterday for the full-back treatment, didn't he, with four full-backs?
01:00 And they did OK, to be honest with you.
01:02 But, yeah, I think Eric Dier's days are numbered.
01:05 His contract's obviously up in the summer.
01:07 I won't be surprised to see him go out on loan even in January or a nominal fee elsewhere.
01:12 There's been links with Bayern Munich, which is interesting because I think he can play that holding role in midfield.
01:18 So, I think his days are numbered.
01:19 And, you know, I think Heuberg, again, he's been a good player for Spurs.
01:23 You know, he, again, divides the fan base.
01:26 But you saw when he came on yesterday, he's just not got that progressive passing in that Benton Kerr has.
01:31 Benton Kerr, you know, the sort of variation in his passing yesterday, the quick feet, the ability to turn out of trouble,
01:38 you know, and really set players on the way with sort of intricate passing.
01:42 You know, Heuberg just hasn't got that.
01:43 I mean, he did OK when he came on.
01:45 A few nice little balls out wide and obviously nearly scored with a really tremendous effort from the edge of the box.
01:51 But I just don't think he fits the Postacoglou system.
01:53 And that's not to say he's a bad player.
01:55 I think certainly he's a good player to have around the squad and he's one of the leaders in the dressing room.
02:00 But again, I wouldn't be surprised, you know, if not January, certainly in the summer, I think, because I'm not convinced he's part of the long-term plan either.
