Ruben Dias - Benfica confirm sale to City

Stop calling him Ruby, it's putting him off signing for us, he's a hard bastard.

Ruby Tuesday?

We have !! His names Ake FFS !! And a fucking snip at £40M.

I agree on Ake and glad we got him but way too early to call a Snip.
The point I'm making is the amount we are spending on Defenders, the list of defensive buys and fees is pretty outrageous when we are no closer to a settled back 4.

Whatever the hold up is, Benfica shouldn't have announced either deal until they both had medicals, and the deal was complete.

As soon as the deal was done Benfica were forced by Portuguese law to announce/communicate the sale of Ruben to CMVM (market regulator). At which point we also had to announce the sale to the public for transparency sake, since the club is partially owned by the sócios (members).

That's an oxymoron.

But he was good but lost his way for whatever reason. At his best he was better than any LB we have had the last couple of years.

They're mandated by law to announce the transfer ffs. It's a publicly traded club.

Fair enough, but do it once completed.

 

[ysmsa]

He's completely gone. Crazy suggestion.

Ok fair enough, let's keep chucking huge fees until we get one right.
Mendy and Cancello cost a fortune and have convinced nobody.
