Ruben Dias - Benfica confirm sale to City

[Sir peace frog]

He’s in for a big shock going from a farmers league to the PL.

I’ll support him when he’s a blue but having watched him a few times I’m genuinely shocked we’ve bought him when it’s clear he was 4th choice at best. Seems we have simply gone for the cheapest option.

Just feels so underwhelming going from KK/Kounde/Gimenez to this guy. What started out as a really exciting window has ended with me thoroughly deflated.

Oh do fuck off

Price does not mean much. Komps and Zaba purchased cheap and Mangala was expensive.

Welcome to Manchester. Tomorrow is flight tracking day

Calling @Cellarite Are you ready?

Get in! Great signing. I really liked Kounde too but far from disappointed with this move. Seems like a perfect fit to me. I don’t expect him to be at his best for a few months but has all the necessary qualities.

well done city

 

[manimanc]

here’s the post match interview mentioned pages back. Don’t understand anything but he almost cried.

I'll translate.
He said he can't wait to come to City as it's been a piece of piss playing in the farmers league and that he's going to get a" @MillsyTheMosher is full of shit" t-shirt to wear in my first city interview.

 

[ManCitizens.]

The Bruno Cheater Fernandes settled in quickly. Dias has the right mentally to cope with the pressure. Won't be a big shock for him. Plus he has 2 good friends from Benfica academy in Cancelo and Bernardo to help him settle.

and Ederson

 

[MillsyTheMosher]

If Ota and Garcia both go ... could we get Kounde as well as Dias ?
Now that would make me happy lol.

 

[Paul1970]

So is Dias on the same or similar level as the other rumoured targets Koulibaly and Kounde? I can't say I have watched any of them play so it's a genuine question.

I think he is . We should have got him last year but he is definitely a class defender .

He seems very comfortable using both feet when passing

I prefer players who can use either foot, needing both feet is a sign of weakness.
