Ruben Dias - Benfica confirm sale to City

[blueparrot]

Judging how we went to bid for Koulibaly, Gimenez, Kounde and now Dias. You can keep your head in the sand. Doesn’t change the fact that we failed to sing our main target and ended up with a choice close to bottom of our list.

Only according to people on twitter.
Anyway dont care about that. I only know Dias Stones Ake and Laporte is a better set of centre backs than we had last year.

So many very strange responses, including Kounde scouts now declaring that Dias is significantly weaker following their 5-minute reviews of YouTube videos while trying to the get the lid of a McFlurry.

Honestly, BM is getting ridiculous - now we're slagging players off before they've even kicked a ball for us.

I hope I'm wrong but I think we'll be back here next year.

I’ll be happy no matter who we get at CB as long as we sign someone else

By a country f**king mile! We're replacing Garcia and Otamendi with Dias and Ake and moving Dinho back into midfield and some people are complaining that we're not spending an extra 20 million to get the player they want.

Benfica fans on their forum say hes very vocal and a proper leader on the pitch. dosent give two shits about who he shouts at likes to command

I know we're all a little disappointed by this potential signing but, if he does come, there are a lot of positives. He's a leader and gives us some much needed physicality in defense. If we are going for a Kompany replacement, Dias is probably the closest you'll find to Vinnie's skillset. There's no point being too disappointed, he's the man the club think is right so let's get behind.
