Martin Ødegaard

[El Duderino]

This is a weird one if there’s no option.

He’s a big talent who will be coming here to play (once he’s adapted). However, I don’t see how he can fit into the same team as Saka and ESR given that he’s a AM / RW.

If we’re not keeping him, why give him minutes ahead of those two youngsters who are in great form?

I get you, but I rather a loan for Ødegaard this over Eriksen or Isco, or even Willian playing, if I'm being honest.

I think we'll see a lot of turnover in the summer. Lacazette, Eddie and Pepe could all be moved on, specially the former two, with 12 and/or 18 months in their contracts.

Midfield is a similar situation.

It means we'll be able to, finances and the market not withstanding, around 3 attacking-ish players.

Buendia covers around three positions, Grealish left wing. Wishlisting aside, there's room for some additions and I'd prefer if we go bigger in 6 months time.

Its a squad game though, especially with the club aiming to win the Europa.

With 2 games a week until the end of the season it's not as if we can play a front four of Auba, Laca, Saka, ESR every single game.

We need high quality, versatile options for rotation at attacking mid because Willian and Pepe are trash.

 

[AbouCuéllar]

Not the profile I was expecting to rotate with ESR

Again, why the obsession with them rotating? No need for them to rotate, nor do I think that will be Arteta's idea in making this deal.

We needed another creative midfielder to go with ESR (and Saka), and we got him.

Mods doing the lords work with this Ødegaard auto correct.

 

[Zazu]

I actually quite like the look of this for some games

Lacazette
Saka -----ESR-------Ødegaard

which means we can rest aubameyang without our attack looking like ****, which has never been the case in recent years.

I've actually been typing Martin cause I didn't want problems

Think he’ll need time to adjust. Rather we just sign him, develop him and build the team around him.

Seems like he was suffering from a serious injury at Real Sociedad too.


I think a short term deal is best for us in this circumstance especially as that is a major red flag.

Auba/Martinelli - ESR/Ødegaard - Saka/Willian

Is very appealing.

Ah so I was right when I said this is just another Denis Suarez. Looks like we’re just a facility to get injured talent healthy until they go back to big clubs.

Think this is my last month on the forum. Worried.

Yeah, if you take Willian out

 

[Elite Smarts]

Just write "Here we go", fvcktard.

Have some patience and don't be so rude ffs

Literally just finished an article on why Arsenal should sign Ødegaard. I take a look at his pass creation stats in a more in depth way. His data from 19/20 season is highly impressive.

You're still trying to shoehorn that bum Willian in.

He isn't going anywhere, he's a good option and will come into form at some point. As a deputy to Saka you can't really go wrong, ideally Nelson comes in but its just unrealistic.

That’s going to be everyone when Arteta gets Ødegaard just to pass sideways to our fullbacks so they can cross into our 5’7 striker Lacazette who’ll still on halfway line.

Last month? OnlyOne appreciation thread needed ASAP.

@GDeep™ can do the honours.

Oh no. I have already excited myself thinking ESR-Partey-Ødegaard winning the CL.

Nah it’s calm. If we win I’m happy but if we lose I get to spam Bumteta content for days on end.

Always come out on top.
