Want. He looks a great talent

Is Martin Ødegaard actually good or is the kid just hype because he's from a country that doesn't produce any good footballers?

I'm asking because we've been very loosely linked lately and it feels like a Wengerish signing. His stock has fallen in Spain and with Zinedine Zidane as the resident manager he's not going to get any playing time in the Real Madrid first team.

I don't think there's any chance they'll sell him. Whether it's justified hype or not, who knows. He was the best player in Tippeligaen when he was 16. That's impressive even though it's not a good league. Mostly because, as opposed to Lukaku, he dominated in spite of his physicality, not be cause of it.

That both Arsenal, Bayern Munich, Real Madrid and Barcelona invited him over and wanted to sign him does tell you that this isn't just Norwegians raving about our first decent talent in ages.

Some big boots to fill too after the combined might of the likes of Carew and Riise. 🙂

I'm not surprised you can't see past his nationality.

Fuck Carew, always score against us.

[font=Source Sans Pro]Seems we showed some interest in Bjorn Engels, a 21 year old CB in Belgium. [/font]

[font=Source Sans Pro]"That [a move to Dortmund or Arsenal] is a bridge too far for me at the moment. A mid-table team [in a big league] would be the ideal next step for me and there have been some serious offers from such teams," Engels told Het Laatste Nieuws, as quoted by the Evening Standard.[/font]

[font=Source Sans Pro]"I am staying calm, though. I only want to be informed about it when Club also agree to a transfer.[/font]

[font=Source Sans Pro]"I am 100% focused on Club now and that will not change so long as I am here. Playing in the Champions League is a nice prospect as well. We will have to wait and see what happens."[/font]

[font=Source Sans Pro]Engels admitted that he has drawn comparisons with new Manchester City signing John Stones. The England international left Everton and moved to the Etihad on a £47.5m ($62.2m) deal.[/font]

[font=Source Sans Pro]"I recognise a bit of myself in John Stones. Similar in height, in stature, and also a defender who's looking to play out from the back," Engels was quoted as saying by the Liverpool Echo.[/font]

[font=Source Sans Pro]"Comfortable with the ball at his feet, strong in the air, occasionally scoring a goal. I look at him when he's playing. What's he doing? How is he positioning himself on the pitch[/font]

Not sure we need another 21 year old CB.

Miguel Almiron. Paraguayan dubbed "the new Kaka". http://metro.co.uk/2016/08/30/arsenal-eye-late-transfer-for-paraguay-midfielder-miguel-almiron-6098374/

L'Equipe apparently linked us with Kylian Mbappé, 17 year old winger at AS Monaco. Youth product from Clairefontaine so there should be some talent to work with. Got an assist when they played Spurs in the EL

Better dribbling than anything I've seen from Ox in the last two years

I've been scouting him for 6 months. Class dribbler.

Rex

You are scouting players now? That the hobby you decided on in the end? 🙂

evoh1

Better dribbler than Ox? Surely puts him in rarified company.

Apparently, Manchester City bid 40m euros for Mbappe. He's going to be Monaco's next Anthony Martial (in terms of transfer fee).
