I just hope,Pep knows better than all of us....

“hope?” Where've you been fit the last 4 years

It’s obviously happening, so time to embrace the transfer. Would’ve preferred Koundé, but hopefully Dias will turn out to be a great signing for the club.

Tbh, we’re so short of numbers right now any signing has to be seen as a positive.

Since anyone hasn't provided an actual translation I'll gladly do it :) :

"(Fam)ily, heads up! We're a good team, we're a good team, everybody knows it! Good players decide games every now and then and go on to get a nice contract. The greats? Well, the greats do it constantly. Always. They get a big win, they win in the Champions League and next game they're winning in the Championship. Each game in the Championship... that's 3 points. Three points won, a great exhibition with lots of goals. That's it, now that game is behind us and we immediately focus on the next one. Three more points ahead. We ought to think like that. If we want to be part of the greats, if we want to reach the heights we all know we can reach, we cannot just win and play well from time to time. No. We must do it every time. All the time. At all moments. In each and every game. Focused!

And one more thing...! If we try to play individually, each trying to get his goal, each trying to make his own thing, his own play... well, we are [explicit]! This [explicit] only works if we play as team, [explicit]. A team, in and outside the pitch [explicit].

At every moment."

*team chants*

This was 4 years ago, or so.

Koulibaly was attainable tho? ADL had a price we didnt pay it , Dias 3 months ago wasnt? Benfica would've asked for the clause 100 mil or dias dosent join. i was only taking guess as we scouted him for 18 months.

fair guess i think , he became available and we are taking advantage and getting a younger player into the bargain

No need for all the bitching in here , jeez

Looks like a very good deal for us, but we desperately need to get another striker in before the window closes!
What's Shaun goater up to these days?
