Ruben Dias - Benfica confirm sale to City

[Alan Oakes Shinpads]

We will have to watch out for Ferguson at Arrivals at Ringway. He might be skulking around the carousel ready to do a snatch and grab. He will have a taxi out side with the engine running. He did it before with one of our targets.:) He has previous.

Probably needs a shit desperately.He has previous

Did an Otamendi impression for Utd's 1st goal

Ben white is a lot better than otamendi I’m not saying he unstoppable now but I’m the next few years he will be one of the best cbs

 

[Keith Moon]

I'm coming back as Jorge Mendes.

This guy is primo. Only he can get paid on multiple fronts.

No wonder he is seen as top of the food chain.

He has the power to move them out, that's never been more important then now.

There was a Portuguese guy here a while ago who spoke highly about Fernando and explained how he got the name the octopus. We should have seen the signs back then as everyone knows Octopus don't do well on grass unfortunately we signed him up. I hope Dias doesn't turn out to become another Octopus type signing

I think the Octopus monicker had something to do with suckers.

Friend who's a Benfica fan has been selling me on Dias. Has some things you just can't teach like great timing and great concentration. Well. If we are in for him around 50 mill and we can swap Ota. It's def. good business.

Laporte is far from being quick but he is very savvy in his positioning.

As long as Dias is equally savvy, we will have a much more reliable rearguard.

Hopefully Fern's legs in midfield can last long enough to give us a decent platform until Christmas.

Any news on another position or do you think we’re done after Dias?

Don’t watch him but after viewing his “every touch videos” and highlights, his timing for standing challenges struck me as very, very precise. His foot is like a little viper attacking its prey, the ball. That was my biggest takeaway.

Was surprised because I swear I’ve read on Bluemoon that he was slow or leggy.

I thought he was injured at the moment.

That would explain it then

 

[sir baconface]

If he can pass, read the game well, and not defend like a muppet, it's a real good start.
