On record multiple times saying he sees his future playing at CB. Someone did say that he gave the club an ultimatum that it was either CB or nowhere but haven’t come across any direct quotes from the man himself tbf.

Even if it’s from the bench?

I recall an interview with him back in the Poch days where he said he didn't like being coined a "utility" player, as was the case at the time, but rather he wanted to play one position and play it well. Or words to that effect. I can't imagine he would absolutely insist on it above anything else though.
Especially from the bench, get on where ever he can.
His days here as a guaranteed starter have to be over, it's the only reason we should be looking at extending his contract. If he's not willing to accept that then there should be no new contract.
Skimming through the thread, in the summer of 2017 we all wanted to turn down whatever United were offering. Seems he played mostly midfield under Poch, but performances declined considerably over the next two seasons. Then illness and injury happened. At the time of this interview I'd say it was blindingly obvious he wasn't good enough to be a starting CB for us, but here we are three years later.

I don't understand why you are so hung up on this tbh if he considers himself a CB, then he's a CB, like any other player and the position that they play. Up to the whoever is manager to decide whether or not he should be in the team
And where he plays.
To a degree, but any player not played in a position he wants to be played in will have a choice to make as to whether that's what they want long term - not sure any manager would get much joy out of any player playing him where he didn't want to play.

If we'd sold Dier and Dele in 2018 or thereabouts, we'd probably have gotten ~120m. Given we've let Dele go effectively for nothing, what are the chances of getting that for Dier now?
To be fair, who knew? I'd have ripped down what was built of the stadium if we'd sold them both at that time.

If we had replaced them well, you wouldn't have cared.

His fault we lost today, he has so unsettled the team that even if they don't play he makes mistakes.

In which case he can play CB for a championship club when his contract ends in a years time.

I hope you've got someone lined up to take his place mate
A kid from the academy? A member of the gardening staff? The cleaning lady?
A training cone would legitimately do a better job, without half as much gobbing to the press.
If he gets a new contract, so help me GHod, we are going to be hopelessly stuck in brick for as long as it lasts, and the club has learned *fudge all* from this year of Dier-shaped disaster.

Hahahaha, no, I meant 'take his place as club whipping post' hahahaha
...let's face it, he has not been a part of our latest error-strewn defeats (no arguments there BTW he earned his demotion albeit he was not the only one responsible) yet he is still a weekly figure for bashing

Haha - well, I volunteer! I am as useless as Dier is, but I'd happily play for the club for free and grin in the stands as I get all sorts of abuse.
Club only has to pay for my tickets over and make a promise to scatter my ashes over the stadium like Dier apparently wants to do - I want to live on to boo Levy (or his son, or whomever takes charge next) from beyond the grave.
