If he's coming good, he won't go anywhere

He has spoken of his «mistake» of bringing in too many former players at Cardiff. He absolutely won’t sign Ødegaard as a starter for a spot at United. Ødegaard won’t come as a project, which is the only conceiveable scenario at this time, he is already one at a club with higher status currently.Is he playing as a RW or an Am?
Just asking because whilst it may seem lazy - I wouldn't be surprised if a Norwegian manager went for a Norwegian player if he thought that they were able to make the step up at a club like United.
So is he playing at RW or Am?
RW. He plays sort of similar to what Mata does for us on the right. In a better way too in my opinion, but all their offensive play goes through him. He is very much the main man there at the moment so while he is doing good, at a bigger club he might not be afforded as many opportunities to affect the game as he is now. I think him being Norwegian might work against it this time around, as the post above me alludes to, but I actually think 20m for a player like this would represent good value as an additional signing to Sancho or something. He is a player who fits our requirements on that right side and would offer something different in terms of playmaking than say Lingard and Chong. Would be a decent replacement to Mata, imo.Is he playing as a RW or an Am?

Going to Ajax would be a mistake.
Ajax being a good team does not mean that the Eredivisie is a good league. Apart from PSV and Ajax the quality is pretty poor. Neymar moving to PSG wasn't weird because PSG are shit, because they're not. It was because a player like that is way too good to be playing in Ligue 1. Ødegaard is still young, so he has time to make his move to a big league in the future, but I think it would be a mistake to commit long-term to a team in a league that he's already very close to outgrowing.
As far as I know he plays both, but as of late more in a RW (not sure though since I don't really watch that much Dutch football.)Just asking because whilst it may seem lazy - I wouldn't be surprised if a Norwegian manager went for a Norwegian player if he thought that they were able to make the step up at a club like United.

Good evaluation. I’d agree that he’s still very much a boy. He has a small frame and will fill out naturally over the next couple of years. I think he’s quite ‘tough’ though, been playing against men since he was 14(?). Strength will come naturally as his body fills out.I think he would need a year at least to get used to PL, although it would be really good for him imo. It would toughen him up a bit. He is raw talent and has extreme technical qualities and vision. Also superb at set pieces. Maybe better suited to spanish football? Still needs to toughen up and get better at physical play. But he is still young and developing fast now. In one year he might have a pricetag to high for anyone and return to RM. If anyone wants to buy him it has to be now I guess.
Yeah, I know mate! I’m T-town, like you I guess, considering your team? Kjernen?Handre, yes he started early playing against adults. He was 15yo and 117 days when he made his debut in the norwegian top series "Eliteserien" in 2014. He also scored his first goal there 1 month later. He impressed so much in short time that he made his debut in Norways national side in August 2014 and became the youngest player ever to play for Norways internationals. January 2015 he was signed by RM. If anyones interested, here's a video showing his highlights the first season, 2014 (Sorry for the link having to be copied, I am not yet approved for posting media links it seems : youtube.com/watch?v=BnrounkK3qY
He's definitely too good for Vitesse and arguably too good for the Eredivisie now. Going to Ajax would be a mistake. He needs a loan to a top half team in La Liga if he's not in Real's plans for next season. Wouldn't mind a mid-table Prem team taking a punt on him. Could prove to be a masterstroke at 20-25 million quid if he keeps improving. Still think he has it in him to play a key role for a CL contender in the future.
Agreed. Still all to prove. I believe he has massive potential though.Too good for the Eredivisie hehe ? You think he would be a starter at Ajax right now ? Think again!
He was shit last season at Heerenveen. Played a few good games for Vitesse (against some lower league clubs). That's basically it.
Even Ajax fans don't rate him that high. But the Dutch media thinks he's the perfect replacement for Ziyech.
I think he has a lot of potential. He's an attractive and smart player to watch. But he still has a lot to learn.
Ajax would be perfect for his development.
2 good seasons at Ajax. And he can go to every club!
The use of this rhetoric is to pick up girls out of ones league. Or more like a pimp mentality. Anyways, I agree he should play for Ajax in the CL etc next season.Too good for the Eredivisie hehe ? You think he would be a starter at Ajax right now ? Think again!

Ødegaard finds a transfer fee of 20 million too much
ARNHEM - Martin Ødegaard was again by far the best man at Vitesse. The midfielder had a tough afternoon in front of Ridgeciano Haps, but showed a lot of highs again, making him a gem to watch in Arnhem.
The Norwegian talent of Real Madrid is no longer quiet about the stories that Ajax wants to incorporate him in the summer. "I try not to pay attention to it. I have to play well and score goals. If I do, clubs will watch you and a decision will be made in the summer where I will play. Ajax is a good club, "says Ødegaard.
He knows what amount there is as a lump sum for Ajax to Real already circulates above the market: 20 million euros. "I think that's too much money. I do not think that I have to cost so much money. But my agent talks to the people in Madrid and I hear later what comes from that. "
The blond midfielder, who was overjoyed that his team came back on the same level shortly after halftime, hopes he can let Vitesse climb another place in the rankings. Ødegaard wants to pass AZ. Before that, his Feyenoord team had to win. That opportunity was there in the second half, although the home team was happy with a draw.
Ødegaard: "We have not lost in any case. And for me today was one of the nicest things that I could play football against Robin van Persie. Really an honor, because he has been a great player in Europe for so many years. "
Should have signed for them instead of Real Madrid. I remember him, Halilovic and Mastour being raved about four years ago. Mastour plays in Greece and Halilovic in Belgium (on loan but option to buy). Sounds like Odegaard is now doing well, but should have made that move earlier. Still, he's only 20, so a couple of good years at Ajax and who knows? Neres went to Ajax at 19/20, is now 22 and has got his first call-up for Brazil.
Have to say I disagree. In hindsight Real was obviously not the best option for his development but he's still a Real player and that's a once in a lifetime opportunity. If he went to Ajax in the first place, he might have never gotten the chance to be at a club like Real and train with a legend like Ronaldo, for example. It's not like Real comes calling for every decent talent Ajax develops, i.e. Neres and De Jong right now (although Barca did for the latter).Choosing to go to Madrid in the first place was utterly bonkers. If he really is the real deal and had signed for a sensible club, he might have earned a move to Madrid by now

If he's good enough, he'll still develop further and end up at the level he should be at, be that a top club in Europe or a level just below that. But the "if he went to Ajax in the first place he might've earned a move to Madrid by now" thing is simply not true imo, or best case you could argue that we'll never know how far along his develop he'd be right now.
It's so easy to stand on the sidelines and be like "oh he should've done this or that for the sensible move in his career" but when Real comes calling it's a once in a lifetime opportunity for a lot of players and very hard to turn down, especially if you also consider the monetary side of the deal. Easy to say what you'd do in that situation but a whole different kind of thing if it's really you that's involved.
Most underwhelming “destroyed” video I have watched in a while
United? He's not good enough if that's what you mean.If Real wants to send him on loan again - why not give them a call ?
