Been talking about Dias for a while now and I see more and more people are starting to mention the same things. Defenders going to ground a lot look great when it works but cost you a LOT when they get it wrong. Dias is someone who can look good in a youtube comp, or terrible.
And I think the truth is still somewhere in between. I thought he was nowhere near the best player in the Premier League last season, I still would prefer Stones to him as a central defender, and still think he needs a guy next to him paying his debts - like Rio with Vidic.
When Rio was out, Vidic got badly exposed. When Vidic was out, Rio looked fine next to a Wes Brown or O'Shea.
Aggressive players look great when it works, and when the team around them can cover the cost when it doesn't.
