Looking like Napoli playing us for mugs again, but a 29yr old CB is a poor investment

If we bought every Centre back we supposedly had agreed terms with we should by the end of the window enough to field 11 on the field and 7 on the bench.

Good, then we'll have some depth.

Told you we would snare a CB, just hope he is excellent.

According to the Daily Record, looks like, maybe, could be, a new CB is on his way for a medical, allegedly

There is a quarantine in force with Portugal, so this deal will either be delayed or done in Portugal but with a self isolation of 14 days even if we sign him we wont see him anytime soon, not sure how they are going to get round this one.

It looks a done deal

Manchester City seal £64m signing of Ruben Dias from Benfica

Welcome Rueben , farewell Otamendi , thanks for the goal against JoMU (but I won’t miss the heart stopping lunges on the edge of our penalty area)

So deducting the fee received for Ota this brings the cost to £50m and loose change.

Let’s hope he settles in super fast. We need it.

I would like to wish the big Otter well, he was a fantastic player for us on the whole and gave us a bit of a fear factor at the back. Yes he is now too slow, but still first choice for his country.

a gold defender and underrated did not make too many mistakes and has adapted to pep's way although not first choice he did take that left sided CB role and not easy for a right footed player.

210 apps in all comps 11 goals

thank you for being a blue, Niclás
