Well Dias is only 23, so the hope for them is that he will adapt quickly and develop into a top CB.I think CB is a role where PL experience is the most important. Are there many big money imports to CB who have succeeded? There are those who came in young and went on to flourish e.g. Kompany. Almost all of the Top 10 / 20 CBs have learned the trade here. Surprised that Pep keeps going overseas (although maybe he's been forced to do so by the Stones failure).

And there are quite a few imports to have done well - Hyypia comes to mind, think he was 26 when we signed him. Carvalho is another - he was 26 too when Chelsea signed him. Vidic another - 25 when United signed him.
Yes - some great examples actually and I hugely rated Carvalho (i thought he was the brains to Terry's brawn)
Norwich couldn't rinse us so they rinsed Everton instead. Amazing

That doesn't sound right. They've got Sane, Coman, Muller, Gnabry in attack already. They no longer seem to need him and he'll just be in the same position he's in at Chelsea.
PSG has joined in the raceArsenal links to Aouar aren’t going away. Would hate for him to end up there.
It's Vinicius the Benfica striker, not the Madrid winger. I'm getting Islam Slimani vibes.
