Fair enough, that’s your opinion and I gee that there was a split on what kind of player we wanted here. I liked what I saw of him, though.
Considering he’d barely played any football in the 6 months prior to his loan, and the fact that he was moving to the toughest league in the world, in the middle of the season, and to a new country in the middle of a pandemic (and to an absolute shambles of a team), I think he settled and started contributing pretty bloody quickly? (Oh, and he had that injury right in the middle of his loan too, which set him back just as he was finding his stride). Might be wrong, but I think we’ve only scratched the surface of what he can do?
Shouldn’t need much time to settle and adapt to the league / manager / team mates this time, and I’m looking forward to having him fully focussed and committed, and not thinking of Madrid.
€35m - good price if true.
What’s the opposite of LANS?
This week, Ramsdale is… on again!
Honestly, at this point I just think we need to get it done - I don’t even care about how much we get done for. The more I see of Leno the more he scares me - the guy just radiates panic and it bleeds out into everyone around him.
@Mac76 - what’s the opposite of Emi? Ime? Zenitram? That’s what Leno is.
Not sure about Odegaard personally but it doesn’t look like we’ll be signing anyone else in this position so just get him in.
Think these number 10, creative/between the lines type of players are a bit dated. Would prefer someone a bit more dynamic with tangible end product. He will struggle to make a serious impact in a team where most of the play is just geared towards the wide areas and getting crosses/cutbacks in.
I thought Odegaard looked very good at times last season, think we should keep him if we can.
