Dier speaks Portuguese too, so they’d be fine if they were partnered together

Spanish isn't so different to Portuguese either, so Reguillion will be able to cope.
And Doherty probably picked up a few words during his time at Portugal Wolves

Get this guy in and I believe for the first time in a while, our first 11 could probably compete at the top

and a striker but yes then we'd be right up there with anyone. Would love Dias, how long left on his contract and is Mendes his agent?

Spot on and think Jose knows this. Q is just how much budget do we have left is it a Dias shaped budget or a Kim Min Jae budget...
What do you think either budget looks like?

I’m reading 15 for Kim and 80 for Dias. If true, there’s more chance of hitting the sun with a snow ball then signing Dias for anywhere close to 80m.

Yeah we need a striker, squad depth not incredible but still decent, but with our first 11 we’d be a match for anyone.
4 years left but the main thing is he’s a mendes client

We won't have to pay 80 for Dias however it won't be 30 either.

I thought I saw somewhere that Dias would be more like 30-40 and release clause was 80 but Mendes might do us a favour... I could well be wrong though.

with benfica missing out on CL this is more realistic than it has been previously, it would still take a sizeable transfer fee to get him in I reckon but would absolutely be worth it, looks like he has real class

Has to be the first budget for me, i wanna win the big trophies now, spent 40 odd years supporting spurs, be nice to enjoy a few big trophies, so get jose what he wants, sure levy will, hes not done bad so far has he ?
Of course, after all this excitement and positivity we'll prob go and lose tomorrow ?

The worry for me is Benfica fans are already furious with the club and missing out on CL football didn't help.

If they sell Dias it would be cause for them to riot. I imagine Jesus won't be happy either as he came with intentions to clean up and do well in Europe.

Having already signed Vertonghen, I can't see Benfica fans being too unhappy if we gave them say £35-40m plus Juan Foyth.

How about we don’t even think about buying Ings ever again and instead use that money for something that is actually exciting like this. It would be a seriously insane transfer window if we managed to pull this off and get a good striker too.

I actually think we need a top class CB like this more than we need a ST to be honest.

Would absolutely love Dias
