Welcome Ruben Dias!

[Blue Smarties]

Really hoping he does it on the pitch as that interview is top quality, absolutely the type of character we need in that dressing room. With English like that, I don’t think it’ll be too long until his leadership qualities begin to show.

 

[RayCTID]

We need him to be the real deal so, so badly.

I just hope he's fast enough, because without genuine pace it doesn't matter how good you are at everything else to do with defending. You're going to live on the halfway line in this side and spend a lot of time running back towards Ederson.

Vinny wasn't the quickest but he coped.

and laporte isnt either

 

[vin]

No. 3. Horrible number for a CB haha! Welcome though lad, hope you settle in quick!! Up the blues

 

[RayCTID]

and laporte isnt either

True.

 

[Gumzy97]

he seems like a proper leader from that interview looks like he takes no shit.

 

[Blue_eyes]

Lets all give him a chance, playing in Citys current back four is no easy ride, could well take a few games to bed in, and any early issues will be well documented by the snakes in the media. There are no prizes for being the first in the matchday thread to say "FFS DIAZ".

He's not going to fix what happened against Leicester, although he might have mitigated it.

There's still work to do all over, particularly up front, although hopefully players returning from injury makes a difference.

If we can get to where we should be, we can create a team where a guy like Dias could be dominant, which is exciting.

 

[jay_mcfc]

No piano? Fuck him off!

He sounds class - big, strong, leader, aggressive, warrior. Just what we need.

Ffs you've ruined my moment.

Vince was quick.

 

[teddypaul]

Great interview, talking like a leader , here's hoping he's all that.

 

[domalino]

Vinny wasn't the quickest but he coped.

People have odd memories. Kompany was very fast when he was at his best. Even after all the injuries he would leave Laporte and Stones in the dust.



Catching up Aubameyang = quick.

 

[RayCTID]

Vince was quick.

Not that quick but he could cope. Diaz looks to have similar speed.

 

[Bellamy's Caddy]

Urm...why’s he took the number 3

A centre back wearing 3 is just weird to me, but presumably that's the one he wanted so good look to him.

Looks like he'll enjoy the physical side of the league and by all accounts is a leader on the pitch, which we need.

Looking forward to seeing him play, even if its just on the TV for now!

 

[dromoreblue]

Vince was quick.

Yes he was. Especially over 25m

 

[Aba452]

Welcome Ruben and Good Luck, mate! Speaks very well and sounds a composed sort of chap. Fingers crossed he'll take to the Premier League like a duck to water.

Looked on th Club website another brilliant interview with Nico. He love for the club really shines through. Humble man great servant. Got something in me eye .....

One chapter closes, another begins.

 

[Airbags Optional]

Nice one, welcome and good luck

 

[Marvin]

Good Luck Ruben.

 

[HelloCity]

He was 11 when the takeover happened.

Only ever really known City as a top club.
