Thought they had big money behind them now? 1 hour ago, Fak said: Eh? Como are Serie A In terms of local stature it is. Como have rose through the ranks into Serie A, but it would be a bit like Blyth doing so and us selling one of our first team players to Blyth. It should be seen as beneath us.

oldtype Posted August 5, 2025 Share Posted August 5, 2025 If Blyth was promoted six consecutive times and was playing in the Premier League, I would have no problem whatsoever with us selling them players Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted August 5, 2025 Share Posted August 5, 2025 Ifs fucking Como man. It’s one of the most picturesque locations in the world. I love the beauty of the NE but cmon man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovejoy Posted August 5, 2025 Share Posted August 5, 2025 Kev Lawson the data fella reckons he’d compliment Botman brilliantly. That’ll do for me (insert botman fitness joke here). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted August 5, 2025 Share Posted August 5, 2025 Think I read he and Botman were the future vision for maldini Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugglz Posted August 5, 2025 Share Posted August 5, 2025 I don’t think Thiaw even makes our starting 11 at the moment. But he’s solid back up and the right age, especially if we can pick him up for around the €20m mark. With Schar, Burn, and Lascelles all the wrong side of 30, and with Botman’s injury history, we probably need to bring in more then one CB. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley17 Posted August 5, 2025 Share Posted August 5, 2025 He would improve the squad and can have a year of bedding in before Schar inevitably starts to wind down. No reason why he can’t improve too. As somebody poster earlier, you just have to trust our scouting department, they have a good hit ratio Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovejoy Posted August 6, 2025 Share Posted August 6, 2025 (edited) Probably already mentioned but Como had agreed €25m hadn’t they? Edited August 6, 2025 by lovejoy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bunk Moreland Posted August 6, 2025 Share Posted August 6, 2025 (edited) Moretto just RT'd two of his tweets about our interest in Thiaw Probably means Spurs are close to signing him Edited August 6, 2025 by Bunk Moreland Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted August 6, 2025 Share Posted August 6, 2025 Latest from Moretto: "Allegri would like to keep Thiaw; for Allegri, he is an important footballer. However, the market is the market, and Milan would be willing to listen to offers for Thiaw, but this time Milan is asking for much more, a figure even higher than 30 million."

As I mentioned in here the other day though, we need to take into consideration that he'll end up being Germany's captain once he's been fully Eddie Howe'd in 18 months time.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 6, 2025 Share Posted August 6, 2025 (edited) Sounds like a come-buy-him plea to me. Manager likes him but we'll take £30m+. Edited August 6, 2025 by AyeDubbleYoo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's offer 20, sit and wait for a week, get told no and then dolefully stand around shrugging like a disaffected Frenchman. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
