The difference between what was accepted from Como and our own is a literal premium. His value increased €10m without playing a single competitive game anywhere. But ok man. 

Didn't a new manager show up, and then the guy did well in preseason, so the manager wanted to keep him and offer a new contract? But he really wanted to come to us and had agreed personal terms, so they sold him.

 

Forty million euros is a steal, in a market Max Kilman is a forty-million-pound defender.

[Menace]

He's been great so far - I don't care what Como could've got him for. £30-£35M for the potential he's showing is a steal - hopefully he keeps it up.

So remember

Call Malick Thiaw

That's his name

His name again is Malick Thiaw

Yes and along with the fact we are a PL club is the reason we had to pay a premium on his nominal valuation. 
 

if he replaced Schar it’s a bargain

[Fak]

Stunning. Like a young Burt Reynolds. 

[The Butcher]

Bargain.

[The College Dropout]

Was excellent yet again.  Brilliant so far. 

[Vaj]

He is amazing, one of the best central defences in the league now 

[Bunk Moreland]

Are there any other players that Milan fans swear up and down are shite? Get them in during the January window

[Mole]

Premium Defender iyam

[Holloway]

mighty impressive start of his journey here

Aye, me too.

That recovery tackle was brilliant, otherwise it looked like that shot might have gone in.

[KaKa]

Wow. Yet another Boumsong Bramble performance! 

 

He's been so so good. Well done man.

[dcmk]

Has been really really impressive. Best defender out there today imo.

 

Adjusted to a new league as well as integrated into the team ridiculously quickly.

[robbo_11]

Impressive again. Although he didn't finish them, he is in and around the box on set pieces so one of the chances he will put away.

[Newcastle Fan]

So good again, him and Botman look like a top class partnership.

Yeah, out of all the centre backs I think he's looked the most likely to score from set pieces.

 

We could really do with that actually. Ball just never seems to find the others often enough somehow

Still waiting to see him be properly tested tbh. Until then I'm still not 100% sold, but it might just end up being that he's so good that he doesn't look like he's being tested. Really impressed with what I've seen so far.

[Nucasol]

Gobshite Italian fans laughing at us at the time. Different players suit different leagues. Likely the case he’s more a PL defender than Serie A.

Would look cool as fuck with a Bruno Mars hat and a cigar in his mouth.

He was arguably our best player vs Arsenal, who are currently favourites for the league.
