Malick Thiaw

[Kid Icarus]

Even without the goals he was in the running for MOTM, so unbelievably calm. 

[Paulie Walnuts]

A real Rolls Royce type player Seems a really  lovely lad too.

[Lush Vlad]

I’m going hard and going early. Best centre back NUFC have had in my time supporting the club (born in 89). 
 

 

[Big Geordie]

Terrific performance from him today.  

 

Is he the best DC I've seen in black and white? That would be still Woodgate for me - but this lad is still young and oozes class.

Let's start worrying about no release clause.

[Ginola]

He's mint, absolutely got the lot

I posted in this thread or the match thread (I think, was canny pissed) at HT on Tuesday that he's one of the best CBs I've ever seen live, he's absolutely top quality isn't he 

[Wallsendmag]

More goals on Merseyside than Isak this season and he's a centre half. 

 

Fair play.

I was born in 78 and I'd say he is. Just appear to have the full package.

What a fucking player he is turning out to be, he might be worth double what we paid AC Milan for him by the end of the season.

 

 

[TRon]

THAT'S how you want to see your centre backs attacking the ball.

Said it before. But how the fuck did he not get into an average AC defence much last season

Bizarre

[Geordie Ahmed]

Not sure what went on at Milan but he's been magnificent for us

 

Mad to think a fair few thought we overpaid when in reality we absolutely robbed Milan 

[The Prophet]

He's sensational.

 

Though, made a rare error of judgement for the Everton goal.

Hope his valuation doesn't fall that much in the next 6 months like.

[nemtizz]

Unlucky to not get a goal before today. He's been a threat from set pieces for a while.

 

He'll feed off Miley and Hall's delivery

Agree, It's been a matter of time for him. I wonder when was the last time we had a defender score two in one match?

[Geordie Ahmed]

Those passes he plays along the ground into the final third are an absolute delight, in the first half he found Tino in that position quite a few times, such an asset

Aye you're right Villa in the 23-24 season - Thiaw is the ready made replacement!
