I like how many narratives in the mainstream have gone from "Rejection United FC" to "smart signing by Newcastle" with this. I fully trust our scouting that we carefully studied every player we go for - including those who went elsewhere. It's just that lack of DoF to sell the project to the Bruno or Botman type of players.

Similar to Schar but not and exact replacement by any means.  Thiaw with more passes surprisingly, and also more accurate with those passes. No suprise he's far better in the air than Schar as well.Screenshot_20250811-015251.thumb.png.ffd164ce90ad0118390ebeb99eba3ca9.pngScreenshot_20250811-015237.thumb.png.e7160add39c680d2369c83402b6127c3.png

Was it a DoF issue? With Botman and Bruno etc we weren't competing with the cartel for them.

He'd be great paired with Schar IMO. As @Curva Sud Milano said, he needs a leader next to him. Schar needs someone with pace to cover. And together with Ramsdale and Schar, our transitions out from defence would be really good. All three can pass out and find their man in midfield.

Well in that case he'd be perfect alongside Burn then rather than Schar.

For Botman it was Milan iirc, who had just been to the semifinals the year prior. Bruno I guess it was loose (but no concrete) links to the cartel six. Whether that's a DoF thing or just the heirarchy (Amanda, etc), we just seemed to be more competent then in enticing those types of players to be part of our project even if we were still in the infancy of our rise.

Italy isn't the draw it was, hence Tonali. We were more competent, again, because we weren't battling the cartel,and PSR to an extent, for players.

Quite a few Milan and Serie A fans have been saying that Thiaw is pretty weak 1 v 1 defender and makes a lot of howlers. Interesting to see if Eddie can fix this side of his game. 

Welcome to page 9 to page 25 of this very thread [emoji38]

Malick being led through the training ground by Eddie Howe, then quickly changing costumes into the doctor, then the chef etc.

Eddie will have to excuse himself for a moment to go print Thiaw’s new shirt.
