That's like the opposite of what I think he's like. He seems like he wants to go to a club that will develop him the best.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss Amad saving our blushes in a win against Southampton as well as our now annual loss at home to Brighton. They discuss Amorim's post-match comments, revisit how mid-table we may or may not be, and discuss some transfer news.

That's pretty much the opposite of what he's been doing. Most of the speculation has come from the media, or from his club fielding questions about him from the media. He himself has kept a remarkably low profile and just got on with his football.
This
Take it from us lot who have followed him closely via the Norwegian media; he's merely aware of the fact that he can pick a club, rather than wait for a club to pick him, and is looking to see who'll offer him the best chance at developing his talent and getting exposure to first team football.
If you'd read about him, his father, and what they've come out and said in the media, not to mention his coaches and teammates and the like, he's not looking at the paychecks or sign-on fees or what have you. He loves football, wants to make the most of his talent and have a good career, and is not going to sell off his potential to the highest bidder without considering what's best for his development.
Whoring himself out, pfft.
They actually consider not visiting clubs because it's creating too much attention around Martin..

Martin WhØrdegaard?
You couldn't be further from the truth.
We'll see. 15 years from now, I'll have the last laugh.
Or, you know... not.
Also, it won't take 15 years to see whether he's primarily looking for a pay-day or not.
15 years is my term. Take it or leave it. Somebody quote this in 2029, assuming we've not been conquered by dinosaurs again.
Dinosaurs know their place now, they're mere chickens and tortoises. It's non-western immigrants that are the current threat.
But point well-taken, we'll measure penis lengths in 15 years' time.
Dante is has an absolutely tiny penis. I'd suggest we re-visit this topic for counterarguments in 15 years.
He's been spotted in Liverpool, out for dinner with his father and Coutinho.
I reckon Liverpool will sign him in all honesty, if the club I supported approached me as a fifteen year old it'd be a no-brainer.

A bit convenient that he couldn't fit Coutinho into the picture isn't it? And wtf would he be doing going to dinner with Coutinho anyway?
My penis is like the mighty oak. Dominant, proud and enduring but with tiny nuts.
Being wined and dined.
Anyway, I don't want this kid. We have enough players in his position that look like they could come through. Harry Wilson, Branagan, Ibe, Ojo and Kent are some of the brightest prospects at the moment.
I don't subscribe to the Odegaard hype as much as others, but I'm not sure he's the type of talent you don't want.
Being wined and dined by Coutinho? That is stupider than you not wanting to sign him.
By the club obviously. They can send a player out.
Yeah thats what I mean, Liverpool using Coutinho to wine and dine him. Why on earth would you use Coutinho to do it?
Maybe Coutinho is his favourite player? He is a Liverpool fan.
If Gerrard isn't his favourite player, then he is plastic fan.
Nah, Odegaard never forgave Stevie for his slip.
He posted on twitter that Gerrard is still king after the slip.
Really? I heard he has a Demba Ba tattoo on his arse, as well as the Premier League with a big crude red x covering it.
He's never tweeted about that, sorry.

Only the Mail, but shows the picture is probably real.

I think I read that he was going on that tour, as well as seeing other clubs. Think it was a week ago here somewhere and it had quotes from the dad. Maybe no quotes. But the Liverpool trip was mentioned so this is probably real.
Actually means nothing that he has taken a tour of Liverpool. He is taking tours of every big clubs so far.
Can't blame him
Get to visit some of Europe's great cities (and Liverpool) plus probably gets put up in five star hotels, top restaurants and plenty of stuff like boots, kits, ipads, hookers, brown envelopes stuffed with used notes to try and convince him to sign.
Now I get your nickname - the art of convincing... well done, well done
He will visit a lot of clubs before making a choice. Next week it could be us.
And hopefully agent Ole will be on hand to put in a good word - then let anderson take him out on the town
I suppose if they sent Gerrard out with him then he'd either bore him to death by being a miserable scouse cnut or glass him because he doesn't know who Phil Collins is.
Smart move for once by the dippers.

Been to United once or twice already, IIRC.
Yes, I heard that on norwegian tv. I think they said his been with us twice. We should be very well in the run. A colleague of mine live in Drammen, which is the town Ødegaard live, told me one of his friends had said on the local radio that he would never go to a club that does not challenge for trophies every year. That rules out Liverpool imo
If he ends up at Scousepool, we all knew he was shit anyway.
#Odegaard appreciated Melwood, told to Liverpool he'll choose his next team soon. #LFC is in talks with his dad: contract offered until 2019
