Take obsession as a compliment.

I didn’t know Carlo would go back to Real and allow this. Decent signing, decent price, no complaints from me. Not a game changer.

Loaning him paved the way to buying him. You were wrong.

You said he is injured when we loaned him (he wasn't) and that he can't possibly have an impact on a 6 months loan, wrong again.
Also you were against the loan, saying it is small club mentality or something like that, us developing a player for Real.

Not game changer on his own, but for his age, quality and price in todays market, it's like we stole him.

It looked like a safe bet back then tbf, really didn't expect him to cower at the prospect of competing with a decaying Isco
Country: Iceland
Thanks! Yes very busy, I like it. I Miss you guys though!

Eh, he's got the opportunity to be the main man at Arsenal, why would he get involved in a competition for places anywhere else, I doubt he gives much value to Real Madrid after the way they treated him.

Think many of us seem to forget that Ode is still only 22. Plenty of room for further growth and refinement to his play. He may even transform whenever Arteta throws in the towel.

No it didn’t. Carlo not wanting him and us being the only club wanting him is what made it happen.

Time will tell, let’s hope so. Atm i think he’s decent.
Nice to see you back, was going to send out a search party.

That’s all true. A loan without an option is small time.
We both got what we wanted, Ode on a permanent deal. Let’s enjoy it, don’t want another circular debate with you.

Carlo has only been complimentary about Ødegaard and played him in all the preseason matches. He's just sick of Real Madrid and constantly having to audition for a role in their team for most of his playing life, and wants some stability for a change.

So you agree with me. They didn’t even give him a squad space or something either. You only leave Real when they don’t want you, unless you’re Ronaldo or something.

Didn't seem like they didn't want him. It was just that he had 2 years in contract, didn't want to renew and wants to start now, so they had to sell in addition that they need money and can't sell deadwood like everyone else.

Brilliant price when you look at what some players are going for.

They didn't not want him. Theyd have kept him and given him chances to break into the team but there were no assurances. I believe Ødegaard had enough of the uncertainty about his career. If he were on loan to some other team, I'm not sure we'd have pushed the boat out to get him.

Their squad is poor, I thought he would stay but they still let him go. He wouldn’t have left if Carlo offered him minutes.
