Bayern Munich Letting Dier Go Will Hurt Kane – Didi Hamann

Ex-German international, Didi Hamann has come out to say that Harry Kane won’t be happy with Bayern Munich letting Eric Dier go. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, Dier surely lived up to the standards of a Bayern defender whenever he was called upon, and his exit will be disappointing for Kane who considers him a close friend.

Didi added that Dier is a player who holds the German club team together on the pitch, and when he is not playing, he doesn’t even complain.

His words, “Eric Dier will leave FC Bayern this summer. This surprises me greatly. I thought a contract extension with him was a mere formality. Bayern may not have been willing to give Dier a two-year contract plus an option for a further year, which is what he’s now getting in Monaco.

Perhaps Bayern should have been a bit more creative. Dier was needed in the second half of the season and rarely, if ever, attracted negative attention on the pitch. For me, that’s always the best sign for a central defender at Bayern Munich. He also addresses certain issues internally. He was also a goal threat, scoring in the second leg against Milan. You can always rely on him.

Dier is a player who holds a team together. When he’s not playing, he doesn’t complain. When he is, he performs. He’s been outstanding during his time at Bayern. Together with [Josip] Stanisic, he’s been outstanding in big games in recent weeks. This is a huge loss, especially with the Club World Cup in mind.

This might also leave a bad taste in the mouth of his good friend Harry Kane. On the other hand, Kane is a professional; he has a contract with Bayern Munich, not with Dier.”

WOW.
