Imho Colwill is already better than Webster et al.
My heart sang on hearing the starting defence line up was Veltman-Dunk-Colwill-Estupinan. 2022/23 Albion nectar.
Luckily NSC has always had an inside track from (gloomy) ITK folk with brother-in-laws embedded within clubs across Europe … who helpfully tell us that new signings are rubbish.
I assume that the club go after targets in the same quietly confidential way as before. But other clubs have their scouting intelligence too, plus agents/selling clubs contrive a market to drive up interest.
