"I'm sorry Beyonce, I can't have a one night stand with you...I need to know you are in this for the long term!"

...sometimes you enjoy the present, don't worry about the future.

This is not how this works, but it's a good example.

You are Ødegaard, the minute man. Arsenal is the Beyonce. Arsenal as Beyonce will struggle to enjoy the minute with you. But long term you might catch on and learn the things and make Beyonce happy. But if you are just quick in and out, Beyonce will not be happy about this time, she won't be satisfied, she will consider the night as a mistake.

Who knows what will happen in 6 months.

Pretty big rumours about Zidane being replaced at the end of thr season. 100% makes sense that neither Madrid or Ødegaard himself will commit to anything beyond that period. A new manager may or may not fancy Ødegaard. If he does then he stays if not they may look to punt.

Nobody and nobody is claiming to know anything.

But the option to buy clauses is a real thing in football mate. If there is no such clause in the deal it will take a lot of power from us at the end of 6 months loan deal. It also tells me either we don't want the player after 6 months, which is alright. Or worse, Real consider us like in Ceballos's case an opportunity to develop the player, as we do with small teams in the country with our academy players. And the player himself doesn't fancy joining us long term.

AGAIN. I have said a lot can change in 6 months and I have said that maybe the player will like it here.

I don`t really understand why people are complaining. Sure an option would be nice but Ødegaard is a quality player who cna help us for the rest of the season. If he does well enough for us to wish him to stay we

Maybe he`ll get Arteta sacked, like Lydersen did with George Graham?

I know options are real things in football. I just don't see it as an issue here. We need a player, they want to lend us a player, 6 months everyone revisits to see what the situation is. Its maximum flexibility for everyone involved. For me that's a good thing.

If he hits the ground running and can contribute then it's no issue. But I felt more comfortable with the deal if there was an option to buy, at least we could then say it's okay if he fails to adapt instantly.

Naturally yes 18 months gives everyone more time. But the other side is that it focuses everyone's mind on the fact its a short time and the ground needs to be hit running.

Also focuses Edu and Co that they'll need another solution lined up ASAP

So.. who do you want?

If we can only get/afford a loan this January.

Eriksen? He is PL proven, I give you that.

Might get an option to buy in that contract!

Arsenal Quotes

When I am asked why I stayed at Arsenal so long.. my answer is simple; I never wanted to be anywhere else. I could have earned a lot more elsewhere, but that wouldn't compensate for all the good years at Highbury.
