Ruben Dias - Benfica confirm sale to City

[twosips]

Ake and Dias are both leaders which is nice too. Ultra professional and focused. Lovely. Ake brings added pace, Dias brings physicality and a proper leader's mentality too. Improves our defence a lot.

Their fans are absolutely gutted he is leaving. They also seem to be absolutely gutted they are getting Otamendi as well.

 

[SWPISHOME]

Ake over Mendy at left back? I mean defensively Ake is better but going forward can he do the job Mendy, Walker, Cancelo can do?

Ake would be an unbelievable inverted left back, He wouldn't have to bomb forward he would be more than comfortable in a central role in possession.

Otamendi will be a decent signing for them

Our fans wouldn’t be too happy if we were swapping Laporte for Pepe.

 

[Chi-town blues]

If you want to see some of his fire/leadership here is his prematch team talk tonight.

can someone translate in porkchugeese ?

 

[Cityzen_89]

Cud be 3 centre backs
Diaz laporte ake

Like this:

Ederson

Dias Laporte Ake

Rodri Dinho

KDB

Bernado Foden Sterling


Aguero/Gabby
​

That would be my guess.

Otamendi will be a decent signing for them

He’s not the man for us now but he’s been an exceptional pro for us and should do well there. I can understand their frustration at losing a young talent but it’s hard to imagine them disliking Otamendi after they get used to watching him.

Already been done

He said.
"Listen you peasants, I'm fucking out of this dump, I've got a private jet waiting for me at the airport, you lot can stay here and get sunburnt and have your afternoon naps but me, I'm off to Manchester where it rains in the morning, rains in the evening and fuckin rains indoors.
But I have balls, massive balls. You, you're a ****, you I've shagged your girlie AND your mum, you you can't play to save your life.
Cheerio fuckers "

I think we need to stay the hell away from 3 centerbacks for the foreseeable future
