Ruben Dias - Benfica confirm sale to City

[Neville Kneville]

I do not feel even 10% of the negativity and fear which you seem to be expressing. Sorry. I'm absolutely buzzing that we've gotten Dias and Ake (and Torres for that matter). For me that's a killer window after the last two summers of relative inaction.

Great having two cbs at last. We are a window behind imo, but at least it's done now.

We still need a LB & replacement for Fernandinho I think, and that could be a problem if we have to sign a big money striker next summer.

Can't tell, but from the photo last night it seemed they flew in much earlier. Might already be in Manchester getting done with paperwork and signing shoot

What photo was that mate?

He is the manager, not me or you or anybody else in here, he will be judged in the end by the results... It's so simple.

I still hope, I'm not sure about anything before this happens, except that you are an idiot and take everything for granted ....

Unless the picture last night was in a car leaving the stadium?

Is dias in Manchester now then?

I've just come on here and everyone is posting like he's signed. I don't have the curiosity to go back over 10 pages or so to see where it's come from. The BBC aren't reporting it so it can't be true.....

Having checked that scouting report a few pages back on paper he looks like a hand / glove fit for a Pep team. Proof of the pudding as they say........... Welcome Dias to Gods only club.

Has he signed?

I know YouTube is a stupid barometer especially for a defender. However, it tells me he is tall and aggressive which we need. Also he looks really good at football for CB. Right age profile and price. I’m massively excited about this.

Mate this would imply that the people doing the transfers at City actually know what they’re doing.

I remember once hearing someone say there are thousands of referees at each game. We now have many Directors of Football on internet forums. A sign of the times.
