Ruben Dias signs new four-year contract

[RACHACE]

He wasn't fantastic last season but neither were any other players really. The club and Pep obviously feel he's likely to get back to the form he's shown in the past so, overall, I'm chuffed he's been given a new deal. Him & Gvardiol could be a cracking centre half pairing.

I love John Stones before anyone picks me up on that. He's so unreliable from a fitness perspective though and I'd personally like to see Dias/Josko more regularly.

 

[Silva61]

Great stuff..... hopefully he can get back to his best form.

Sure he will with a fit John Stones by his side.

 

[Txiki Txiki Bang Bang]

A big vote of confidence in him after a particularly poor season. Old contract was till '27 so a two season extension. He'll be 32 when it ends.

Still very young

 

[Axel Freed]

He's not consistent enough to be an elite centre half, how many really good seasons has he had in his 5 years here - two maybe three at a push ? Surprised we've done this.

 

[svennis pennis]

Some incredible takes here. We are far worse without Ruben in the defence. Delighted the father is staying on.

 

[hallsteve62]

Sensible.

That's just happy talk ; )

Edit. jimharri beat me to it!

He didn't get an extension, he got a new contract.

Significant difference.

His contract was set to expire in 2027…..

 

[Hes the left back remember]

Surprised he was bullied today by Richaldson

Exactly.

An extension means it is exactly the same terms. I have a sneaky suspicion he got better terms, more money.

I’m not.

Mr LinkedIn is really easily bullied despite his muscular thirst traps on Instagram.

He’s been shit for 2 years

 

[deano ou812]

It made sense for him to extend he’s going with Maya Jama so stay in the country win win ..

 

[Blue Theatre]

Good news as he is a leader & always professional. Hope he can get back to his best; Pep obviously expects him to.

 

[Sibierskii]

Exactly.

So why the extension? Unless he’s triggered a clause?

He’s been shite

It’s been along time since he’s been a boss in our defence. Great character and shouts a lot but doesn’t back it up physically.

Kolo needs to teach him a lesson or two.

 

[the plasterer]

Personally think he's vastly over rated
