Martin Odegaard - Redux

Gazza M

might as well give him his own thread seeing as though things have heated up around him coming back

if the 35m pound price tag I've seen bandied about is legit, I'd definitely take him at that price

QuincyAbeyie

Yes, please. Not sure if it's my phone, but whatever tweet you've embedded doesn’t show up here. The only time I've seen 35m mentioned is Wheatley answering someone what his opinion was as to what price they'd ask though, not sure if there's more to it.

Edit: Tweet shows up now.

permanent deal or nothing. if hes half the price of maddison, then its good business, because we have other holes to fill too

Qwiss

If he's coming in to compete fine. Last season our best combo was Pepe, ESR, Saka. Odegaard needs to earn his place in the team. £35m is a decent price though.

USArsenal

35m is a deal I'd make. At 50m - RM is out of their minds. Lol

Coombs

35m is daylight robbery. Thrilled if it happens.

JazzG

Loan with obligation to buy would be ideal if that £35m figure is correct, gives us extra money to buy a CM. However if Madrid have ambitions to sign Haaland/Mbappe they probably want the money now.

The music 😆

They are saying Ancelotti wants him to stay, but he is not sure about game time, so Odeegard is thinking about leaving. Real won't stand in his way if he wants out. And as strange as they look, they are very reliable.

seems about right to me.

Might even be able to push for less if they need to let him go that bad.

El Chiringuito TV pack more tension and drama into their shows than most TV serials. Only thing that comes close to their Hazard segment was the end to The Shield.

Odeegard and Ceballos will stay, beacuse Kroos got injured.

KingslandBarge

I know there are groans on here about Ø, but I'd be delighted with this. Think 35 million is the right price but if rumours indicate 42, its a no-brainer and we should try and really push the issue this week.

Ceballos is injured till next year. Odegaard has to stay unfortunately. 0 chance of Madrid selling him

Rohit

I am not sure if Real selling Ødegaard will depend on the availability of a player that wasn't even at the club in the last 2 seasons. Real need to raise some money. I won't be surprised if they are willing to listen to good offers. Question is what Ødegaard wants and how much more we want Maddison.

Captain

Thank god.

lorddulaarsenal

What he said.

Gurgen

He will be much better than Maddison so if he is available for that price we should be all over it instead of being swindled by Leicester.

Should be a no brainer. I'm convinced Madrid would sell if we managed to convince the player.

TambourineMan

Let's hope we go back in for him and are able to convince him that we'd be a good stepping stone in his career. Fly through the next three or four years with us and the likes of City, Madrid and Munich will come calling.
