Welcome Ruben Dias!

The Mirror ran a story in the early hours about 'desparate' City and some sort of 'gaffe' on the website in which fans are invited to ask 'KK' questions about joining CIty. I can't find it myself but the national version of the Liverpool Echo sneeringly suggests this apparent clerical error was caused by Citys desperation to sign KK and have him on the brain or have jumped the gun before he actually signs.
It seems to be a typical cock up by City's hopeless PR set up but it allows the Mirror to avoid making a positive comment about the signing of Dias and straight in with the 'second choice' digs which get repeated in the comments by some twat called Will Perry and other Dipper fans.
United now seem to be quite a nice bunch compared these scouse bastards and their media acolytes.
 
Good morning everyone.

Im very sad to see Ruben leaving from my club, but i truly confident he will be important at Man City.

You will find a very talented defender, with a huge sense of responsibility and with a leadership profile you are looking for since Kompany left.

A great kid and one of our best academy players joining others like Bernardo, Cancelo and Ederson.

Wish you the best and a season full of success.

Regards,

A Benfica fanatic.

No offence mate but who gives a shit?

It's a funny cock up by us and a bit of banter on their end. Hardly takes anything away from the fact that we've just signed one of the best young centrebacks in Europe.

Cocks ups by our ineffective PR people are so common and seemingly everlasting its not funny. Makes us look like business amateurs.
The cock up has meant that the Mirror has been able to play down the signing of 'one of the best young centre backs in Europe.

All this unrelenting stuff from the media gives me the shits irrespective of whether you hive a shit or not.

Nice to know that we can retain some of our charm from older times. I don't know man, it made me laugh anyway.

Let them play it down. I'm not really bothered about the opinion of a rival fan who is going to be swayed by the way any tabloid reports our business because it's on the pitch that matters.
 
I would be more comfortable were he called Ruben Ewing Diaz, but nigh the same age as Laporte, 6ft 12ins, Vinnyesque bullet headers, two red cards by Christmas - we take a good sized piece of timber and those fuckin' lumberjacks from PiGMOL will be out with a chainsaw!

Welcome, young sir! Wonder how he's gonna get on with Pep. The Portuguese like the Spanish like we love the French, oh, just remembered Pep is Catalan, not Spanish!

This is an interesting comment from our new Franco Baresi:

“Their success speaks for itself. They have been the dominant team in England over the last few years, playing an attacking brand of football which I feel suits my own game."

Well, yer can bet yer sweet bippy he didn't read that in the RDAHMeedya!
