Ruben Dias - Benfica confirm sale to City

[Zenmanc]

Ruben Dias has the nickname "The Boss" apparently for benfica maybe we've gone for him cause hes a leader

Maybe he's in the Portuguese mafia.

Of the 38 cb last season that played 1500 mins or more in Portugal 33 posted a better duel success percentage and he was only 22nd in aerial duels won percentage. Interceptions per 90mins he was 37th and 8th on fouls commited per 90. Backs up what I’ve seen from the limited amount of times I’ve watched him play for Benfica or Portugal. He’s not good enough!

Who's that guy?

City podcaster. I always thought it was @BillyShears on here but could be wrong.

I don't think it's that, I think it's just that everyone really wanted Kounde. I'll admit I've barely watched either of them, but I like the look of Kounde more. I think it's OK to have an opinion on players without watching every game. As soon as either sign I'll be fully behind them.

i watched kounde last night, and he looked like a boy compared to that other CB but what do i know.

It is indeed him.

good deal.

for otamendi too.

This is like keeping Stones and getting a downgraded version of him. I would love to be proven wrong but this will not be a good signing imo

And that is in a shit league as well.

Great.

I watched the game this morning. I thought he was good, but it's all about opinions. As I say I'll get behind anyone and won't be disappointed with either. Thought Kounde was really good though and him winning every aerial duel dispelled any worries I had about his height.
