Ruben Dias - Benfica confirm sale to City

That's the one.

Doesn't look Manchester bound

What would he be called if he did ?

Derek.

Are you so sure? Where was space in foreign quota? Sané, Bravo, David Silva all only left this year. Kompany left and his space in foreign quota was taken up by Rodri.

Hence we couldn't go for Dias and Maguire was our only option.

And thank fuck we didn’t get him!

Funny isn't it, looks a bang average defender at United especially when they have to have so much of the ball, only looked alright in games where they've sat back like the cowards they are and countered. Same with Jorginho, same with Fred, Alexis. Say what about missing out on our targets but sometimes it really is for the better.

There's definitely something in this. Had Dias come in hot on the heels of Ake/Torres, even if we'd paid his release clause, I suspect the overall reaction would've been a bit more optimistic. People seem to be angry because they think that this is a rash decision based on the club's failure to land other targets. Personally I think that's very wide of the mark.

I agree we've been linked to him for a while, had his buyout not been upped last year we probably would have seen it done sooner.

People seem to be making assumptions based on the media, most of there stories have started abroad, I'd argue Dias may have been top of our list all along but the buyout has put us off until now.

Otamendi should drive straight past the ground then skid round come hairing back & crash into it.

One long ball over the top and all of them are bypassed except Walker.

Not looking forward to Anfield with that total lack of pace.

constant negativity on dias, I've posted a couple of times how many times have you watched him, still waiting for a reply
