✍️ OFFICIAL Martin Ødegaard

[HairSprayGooners]

Probably will be done for around £40M.

Pushes our spending up to £112M. Getting there boys

Hoping we sign a forward alongside this.

Ødegaard was always our number 1 targets the Maddison links were only interest and created unneeded fan fantasy. Just like white and Saliba. Ødegaard will have agenda because people preferred Maddison

 

[Riou]

Real can have a first option on the player in the deal, if they want that.

They can get ****ed with a buy back clause though.

 

[Tir Na Nog]

It's amazing how predictable this was, I absolutely knew this would end up happening and I knew it'd be pretty late in the window too. Even with all the Maddison stuff I knew we'd wind up back here.

 

[dashsnow17]

Wouldn't spend 50m euro, 40m is fair, even 35m + adds ons is a fair deal. Only got 2 years on his contract and he's not an established player there, where tf they getting 50m from.

 

[HairSprayGooners]

With Ødegaard and say Neto any other signings will be homegrown.

Loan with an option.

I dont see us signing a CF, Laca & Auba very unlikely to leave. Laca is easier to shift than Auba and no one has shown any interest in him.

Another Edu masterclass

Finally someone confirms this in Arabic. Now this is definitely happening!

About 15 million of the deal, is going straight to Perez, to help kick start his new 1 team Super League, I think...so Real have to compensate for that.

Tammy Abraham, if Laca is moved...

 

[Tir Na Nog]

BTW assuming this is Arteta's first choice, if we get him in at what point can we start seriously judging Arteta? I'm guessing the usual crowd will say he needs a striker and RB before we dare judge him.

 

[SA Gunner]

This kid loves the right half space, as we've seen. Im hoping there is an active strategy to get him occupying zone 14 more.

Oh, and lets get Auoar as well, our midfield would look better with both.

 

[El Duderino]

Why is he still pretending to know something?

The Hsg of journalists.

 

[HomeSteak]

Meh, but what can you do.

 

[HairSprayGooners]

Moving extremely quick.

Maddison turn out nothing but small interest Ødegaard was clear number 1 target because he already settled with team and he suit our budget because there still work to be done regarding spending on striker.

 

[Ceballinhos]

I hope we're getting him and aouar since he's a bargain.

There's still time to shift elneny to a turkey club. Partey aouar as your 2 CM behind Ødegaard. Xhaka on the bench. I could live with that.

Our best arsenal sides were when we filled a lot of creative players on the pitch. Remember when we were playing Cesc/Wilshere/rosicky/nasri together, or then when we also had cazorla into the mix, even a donkey like Bendtner or Chamakh was getting goal scoring opportunities.

But tbf if we only get Ødegaard as a creative option, it would be uninspiring.
