Tom Carroll is older than Dier.
Dembele isnt needed on the wing.
Dier doesn't have the passing ability or technical ability to play in midfield. Also he wont have the positioning as he not anywhere near used to playing there. And what is the point in shoving him into another new position hampering his development?
What must Onomah, Dele Alli and Winks think if a centre half barely a few years older than them is ahead of them in the midfield peeking order. These guys cant even get a chance in pre season.
But this is typical from the same Manger that give Kane only 64 minutes in the first 10 league games of the season until he couldnt ignore his form in the cups anymore and then got lauded for his youth policy. Its all talk. The only player he brought in from our 'youths' was Mason.
It didn't do Ledley any harm. Mourinho played Zouma in midfield as well so I don't think it will necessarily hamper his development. Besides chances are that he won't play the whole game in that position.
