Ask OTC: Malick Thiaw to Tyneside, Porto's Primeira prospects and the Scottish transfer appeal

As we stare down the barrel of a brand new season, Dotun, Andy and Lars are back to answer some of your continental queries! Newcastle are finally active with the signing of AC Milan's Malick Thiaw, but is this a win-win for both clubs? Or are Newcastle still licking their wounds from some troubled times in the transfer market?

The guys debate that - plus - can Porto stand up to the behemoths of Sporting and Benfica after a crucial summer of signings? How will 'hidden gem' Evann Guessand perform at Aston Villa? And why is the nation of Scotland such a hotspot for Italian teams to pick up young prospects?

Also, we tempt Lars away from the fjord as he can't help but recommend a blockbuster Ligue 1 clash for his game of the week!
