"The Norwegian Wonderkid"- The Official Welcome Martin Ødegaard Thread

Who makes the most progressive passes in #LaLiga?

Kroos, Busquets, Banega complete the most passes p90 into the final 3rd.

Ødegaard, Messi complete the most passes p90 into the box.

Ødegaard, Messi, Cote, Cazorla excel at both pass types

Odegaard in that Messi area

 

According to that graphic, he’s not just in the same range as Messi, he is currently ahead of Messi in both of those aspects.

Odegaard with 2 assists and a free kick goal in Sociedads 3-1 over Osasuna in the Copa

 

Man we're stacked when it comes to these talents. Brahim, Reinier, Vinicius, Rodrygo, Odegaard, Kubo, Valverde, Asensio (still needs to fulfill his promise), Mendy, Militao, Hakimi. We only need a goal scoring machine between these bunch, Mbappe perhaps

 

And Camavinga btw, need that kid and we're done for the next 5 years.

 

Finally something about him, been quiet on the Ødegaard front for a game or two

2 assists and a goal, but he could’ve had 5 assists if his teammates were more clinical. What a performance

 

Casemiro, Valverde, Kroos, Odegaard, Hazard, Benzema

Oh my

He keeps getting asked and saying the same thing.

 

I don't think he will give a different answer in the middle of the season. He has a 2-year contract with them and it would be disrespectful to say he doesn't want to fulfill it.

I think one extra year can do him good. But he seems ready to take over our midfield as well. Tough decision, especially to Martin himself.

 

Not trying to be provocative here; does Zidane even like him Even if he gets 20 assist this season, can't see him getting a sniff in if Zidane is not a fan.

 

This is the kind of nonsense we get from RMBS.

Never change.

 

I think it will be down to our summer moves. No sense in him coming unless two of Isco/James/Modric leave.....especially if the VDB rumours are true.

If Zizou wants him, he's going to have to create some space.

I'd let Isco go without blinking lol.

 

Irrespective of the reason for doing it, yup

 

If he has a well functional organ inside his cranial vault, he'll make a decision AGAINST coming back to Madrid while Zidane is still in charge.

The guy basically rewards well performing players with punishments.

 

Any youngster should and will be wary. Strikers especially, anyone not named Mbappe coming while Benzelord is here is suicidal.

 

I really want Odegaard back....but it would only useful if he has legitimate targets to aim at with all that great line breaking passing.

Otherwise he'll just be another good midfielder who's work doesn't get rewarded like Case/Valverde/Kroos/Modric.

We need goalscorers first.

 

He would be doing 1-2s with Benzema...40 meters from the goal.

I think he has a point. It’s fine in theory for Odegaard to keep getting minutes at Sociedad, but it’s probably a harsh reality that we don’t have enough right now for the 2020-2021 campaign. Why not risk it and make Odegaard a starter for us now? He’s probably ready to take on a serious load of responsibility for us even at this young age.
