A reporter experienced Ange Postecoglou's wrath as the Tottenham boss took exception to question over speculastion surrounding Eric Dier.Reports emerged before Spurs' FA Cup third round win over Burnley that the defender had reached a verbal agreement to join his old mate Harry Kane at Bayern Munich.
Dier sat out the win over the Clarets, but Postecoglou insisted it was because he was injured and hadn't trained, rather than to protect any switch to the Bundesliga giants that may be in the offing.Dier isn't a big part of the boss' plans, having made four appearances under the Aussie this season..
When pushed on the issue, Postecolgou bristled, insisting that Dier was injured and that his answers should be taken at face value, taking offence at his integrity seemingly being questioned. "He pulled up sore and did not train yesterday," the Tottenham manager said when asked again on the coincidence."Bayern Munich is a separate issue, mate, but don’t question my integrity.
When I say he is injured, he is injured. He didn’t train yesterday. I didn’t make that up. Ask him if he is injured. It has got nothing to do with anything else."
