Kid Icarus Posted October 5, 2025 Share Posted October 5, 2025 2 minutes ago, STM said: He was arguably our best player vs Arsenal, who are currently favourites for the league. I know, but what I mean is the way he's tested. Balls in behind, in the channels, one on one against someone skillful. I haven't seen that and other things happen yet, that's all.

Likely the case he’s more a PL defender than Serie A. I have seen his games at Milan, and I totally understand why they have had such opinion. Not to take away any credit from Thiaw, but I think it’s just how good Howe is able to fit him into our defence system. Howe deserves most credit to me. Extremely glad how it turns out btw. We have been shouting for Schars successor for long and Thiaw looks like a fucking bargain Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted October 5, 2025 Share Posted October 5, 2025 Worth bearing in mind he's 24 so likely to get even better. Him and Botman look like a helluva a CB pairing at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have been shouting for Schars successor for long and Thiaw looks like a fucking bargain This is pretty much it. Howe's ability to transform defenders is pretty incredible. Dan Burn was an outcast for Brighton and has become an England CB and one of the best defenders I've witnessed as a supporter. Thiaw has slotted in perfectly, the concerns were valid, he looked shakey at times for Milan but I'm glad that hasn't happened here and him and Botman compliment each other very well.

Is this the “value from abroad” everyone was asking for? Could literally spend even a tiny bit more and get someone a lot more proven for the money imo.

Magnus Posted October 5, 2025 Share Posted October 5, 2025 For centre backs so much depends on your partner and the understanding you can strike together. Never forget how Bramble looked so improved alongside Woodgate….mostly With Botman he’s got class to ease him in. Pretty happy with what I’ve seen so far but I didn’t see anything of him at Milan so he’s got a clean slate with me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPL Posted October 5, 2025 Share Posted October 5, 2025 He has played well don't get me wrong but it has only been a few games. Very promising signs obviously but want to see a game against someone like Haaland or a pacey striker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
