He seems pretty young and hasn’t played a minute for us in this league are t you wagering a lot on that when you can add versatility that can play a couple positions if not more?

He has played most games for Porto as CAM. Young ? He is 22, Ødegaard is 23 ?

Genuinely excited for this player. His vision may not quite match Özil yet, but he has so much more to his game.

He is still a bit of an unknown commodity he did carry a knock the type of players I want can and do have enough quality to play as cowards as well. We need lots of players we added 3 ready to play new players. Viera maybe is one maybe isn’t. This team collapsed because of depths playing a third less matches than Sp**s, we are still a knock away from Farmer Mo starting. Our big problem is midfield no where else really, we were 12th in chances created and mediocre in possession last season.

Still cannot handle being pressed hard, but other than that has the skills needed.
Will grow though, Im confident Arteta will help him remove the final weaknesses in his game.

Glad to see you do a complete 180 on Ode here.
How much quality do you really need to play that role though?

After Ødegaard at 10 we got an unproven Viera why not buy a versatile total footballer type that can play wide and central? We were thin for one competition last year and midfield is where we are most thin. Even with OdeGod being mostly healthy last year we were 12th in chances created for Arsenal that is horrific. We need 2 ready for prime time players who can play midfield as attack or DM and contribute in one or two other positions. A thin squad needs versatility in the players they have.

Well he should have because he’s clearly stepped it up since!

Ødegaard was badly advised when he went to Real Madrid. Haaland on the other hand used clubs as stepping stones throughout his development.
Credit must go to Ødegaard to take the decision to come to Arsenal. It would have been all too easy to sit on the bench at Real Madrid, waiting for Kroos and Modric to age out.
At 23, he has excellent potential to just become better, and he is surrounded by players that also have big potential.

He isn't there yet but i can see how Ødegaard develops into a top level player. He has the talent but alone that's not enough. He never stops working which is a brilliant starting point for any top player. Now he has added responsibility. Consistently keep this up and we are looking at a genuine world class player.
Country: South Africa
Really happy for him, he has needed this stability for a long long time. Now he has the environment and opportunity to become a really top player.
Something still nags at me when it comes to Ødegaard. That he would leave for Madrid if he realises his potential with us.
By the way Jeeves, how do you pronounce his surname? If seen some different ways its been said.

The one by Larsipan is the way it would be pronounced in Eastern Norway, where Ødegaard is from.

Let's be fair here who wouldn't leave us for Barcelona or Madrid? This is where the club need to be wise. We have a small exceptionally talented group of players we cannot afford another Fabregas backed up by Denilson or death spiral of talented players we lost because we waited for RVP.
Players want to goto these clubs we have to ensure they've very few reasons to leave and if they do it best be Bernardo Silva esque.
