Ode confirmed
Some welcome news for once
- Edited
Saka is the only WC player we got and it’s at a stretch as he hasn’t won anything.
I’m saying Ode feels like he has become World Class because absence makes the heart grow fonder. The more game we lose whilst he is not playing the higher his value gets.
Saliba is not World Class, needs to prove it with France at latter stages of tournaments. His performances for them have been sub par.
He’s been very good at Arsenal but how much of that is down to the system as well? He’s very well protected.
All of these players really need to a) win something and/or prove it at latter stages of international tournaments/CL. Saka gets a pass as he’s proven internationally and prob has the best big game record for us.
Rice is probably our most underrated ‘big’ player - he’s been average this season but last year was immense, has been immense internationally and has lifted a European trophy.
Sicario2 - Tier 1 and has lifted a European trophy
Would you like us to finish 7th so we have a chance at that trophy? Weird point considering Havertz, Sterling and Jorginho have all won the real European trophy we care about.
Qwiss he hasn't been immense for England either.
You shouldn’t discredit someone who has captained their team to a cup win for the first time in 43 years. Especially from a fan of a club that has only won the equivalent trophy once in their history.
Rice for me was overall player of the season last year from start to finish.
QuincyAbeyie
I thought he was pretty good helping them get to the euro 2020 final
Sicario2 - Tier 1 Rice is a good fit for us. We overpaid but that's ok when it fits a gap you really to sort out.
People said at the start he was a bargain but as the same size went along we overpaid for what we got.
But no complains really he's a quality destroyer
Claudius he's joining up with the Norway squad.
QuincyAbeyie he going but not playing right? Because he's the captian
QuincyAbeyie if Solbakken behaves, could be useful. Two 45s for example, might be good warm-up ahead of the Forest game to get him fit.
Problem is I do not trust a single international manager to put clubs first.
Ffs, he's only just returned
If Øde comes back in pieces this time, we'd better send a bullet to Norway next time.

I’m in the minority but I thought he was well meh yesterday. He’s a bit all fart and no poo
Think that’s harsh. His first game back after 2.5 months and manages to complete 90 mins.
He’s mentally and physically very sharp. Our players look up to him as well, arguably most important cog in our machine.
Was it his best game? No, it was never going to be. But he still managed to deliver a very meaningful contribution. And he brings better balance to our midfield and team in general.
