The Emilia-Romagna side also borrowed Alberto Gallinetta and kept numbers of players by extended the loans or excised the option to sign outright from Inter, such as Pellegrino Albanese, Raffaele Conforto and Giorgio Schiavini. Thiam was the starting forward along with Diego Falcinelli,[9][10][11][12] who also from Inter academy. However the coach also used other formation and preferred Falcinelli as sole centre forward[13] despite Thiam also played that role few time.[14] That season Thiam scored 4 times.[15]
During the season also saw Inter formed a complex deal with Sassuolo, which Thiam allowed to join Sassuolo for free in January 2010 (made Inter registered a loss of €71,000),[16] then Thiam re-joined Inter on 30 August[17] in co-ownership deal, made Thiam's contract treated as a financial asset in Sassuolo's account and an intangible asset in Inter account, as well as the "parent" club of the co-ownership contract became Sassuolo instead of Inter. With Inter "Spring", he scored 4 goals in regular season, behind strikers Dell'Agnello, Alibec and midfielder Milan Jirásek.[18] He also won 2011 Torneo di Viareggio with the spring.[19]
