The cheats aren't going to get punished (are they?) so their reign of terror is going to continue unabated. Like it or loathe it, they've a prodigy in their ranks that I think most will conclude, is going to be an absolute star, injuries and mental strength/attitude permitting.

He plays in a way that takes the piss - he's going to be a media darling and one kids from all over will end up idolising.

He also has a PES/FIFA regen name, so his success is assured. I'm no luckyscout, so maybe I'm wrong on calling this now, but he looks like the kind of talent who will come into the league and take it by storm. I reckon this is De Bruyne's eventual replacement in that team, also.



 
Looked really good today.

I didn't realise he was 21 though, thought he was a teenager for some reason.

If he can win a first team spot, it's great news for Norway.
 
He looks more Bernardo Silva than KDB but his ball control looks phenomenal. Hope he’s a collossal disappointment. Also he’s 21 and nobody knows who he is?

They should be doing something with Ødegaard, Haaland and this kid in the team.

Wtf happened in Norway? Why do they have talented players now?
 
He's definitely not some two bob player that's for sure.
 
His name is suitable for a children's show or something akin to it.

Remember him from the beauty he scored against Newcastle but that's pretty much it, he has phenomenal ball control and dribbling that much is apparent.
 


City absolutely cooked Chelsea's 300m midfield playing a midfield of O'Reilly, McAtee, Rico Lewis and Oscar Bobb.

It's no wonder they're shifting Alvarez for 70m when McAtee can walk into the side and do the same thing.

It went from snowing half the year to barely snowing at all so we had to find other sports to become good at. Unfortunately none of them got the memo that you need defenders too in football.
 
Both of his names are his first name and neither of his names are his second name.

Never, ever trust a man (or woman for that matter) who has a full name made up solely of forenames

Not been wrong about this yet and I’m sticking to

This Bobb guy is a wrong ‘un
 
Was posting this thread some kind of sadomasochistic thrill? We were already losing to Liverpool at this point and decided that this was suddenly the time to nosh off City a bit more? :lol:

I watched him live at Norway Cup, and that was already ten years ago. There was major hype over him in Norway when he was between 11 and 14, then everything went quiet about him until he suddenly started making City matchday squads several years later.

Wonder if Nusa finally gets his move to the PL also. And maybe even Nypan the way he has been playing. Shame defenders are made up of Sunday league players.

Man City could have had Cole Palmer (two last names) and Oscar Bob (two first names) in the same team.

shocking stuff.
 
Have to watch more of him but based on what I've seen I'm really not sure how he's gonna "take the league by storm".

Probably going to be a good PL player, but seems to be another one who's gonna get way too overrated just because how he moves and what he does with the ball is aesthetically pleasing.
 
Handsome Bobb

Don't think he'll be better than Foden, who is the natural successor. But he'll take plenty of minutes from Doku, who will eventually ask to leave.
 
The Athletic's sensible transfers last week for city suggested Floren Wirtz as KDB replacement, only if Wirtz doesn't go to Madrid.
 
The successor to arguably the great Premier League midfielder of all-time? Nothing like going slightly over the top for a talented prospect.

Good player amongst the world’s best squad. Might have a great career but wouldn’t surprise me if it’s away from City.

Not as long as we have a defence that’s prone to match-losing feck-ups and as a team lose our shit in the last ten mins of a game if we’re in a good position.

And Ødegaard is often underwhelming for Norway compared to his Arsenal exploits.

That's a Messi-esque finish if I ever saw one.

If you call him Bob he'll be all like "it's Oscar actually" and if you call him Oscar it'll be "the name's Bobb"

What a prick
 
At 21 he needs to kick on. Big talent but these are his key developmental years, and he has 14 first team games?

Norway suddenly got top10 world talents in a bunch of summer sports over the past years, like the mens 1500meter and 5000meter, 400m hurdles WR, Decathlon olympic champion, golf, tennis, Chess GOAT, etc. Its an absolutely wild time to be a sports fan in Norway. We already got winter sports locked down, but not we are coming for summer as well.

Implemented a new system for talent development and supporting and enabling clubs to get better at development ten years ago. Reaping the rewards now.
