I implied that age shouldn't be a reason not to purchase someone. Also calm down on the insulting it's against the forum rules.

I'm attacking his post, not him.
If that was your point, then I'm sorry for not understanding it (to me it seemed like an argument that United should sign and play him despite his age because of his current ability), English is after all a second language.
It doesn't change my point that he isn't ready for that though, which wasn't made as a snide-remark towards your post or you, merely my opinion of his current ability not being shown to be up to the standards I expect of a United player.
 
So are the reports true we have made this bid or more lazy journos? Cant see it from a Norweigan paper wanting to make stuff up
 
We should sign him for sure. I think he's the new Ryan Giggs
 
Let's get this right he plays for,

Odd Ball Club or an Oddball Club? Either way sign him up just for the names
 
I guess our scouts have been keeping tabs on him for a while, and that his performance against Dormund have accelerated interest in him from other clubs and forced our hand.

Hopefully. In that case, our interest won't be all down to "He's 17? wtf."`

Like every post of yours. How about letting go of someone mentioning Odengard? Are you this attached or this young?

Don't answer that. And don't respond either. Cheers for this interaction, Ødegaard.

Top trolling.

Anyway, what I want to know is why we bid in Euros. Neither England nor Norway use the Euro, why not yen? Or Swedish kroner?
 
Hopefully we let him finish the season in Norway and he joins us in January. It would be better for him to get more first team experience in Norway then playing for the U21s.
 
If we sign him, we'll have 3 players (along with Darmian and Herrera) who look like those serial killers who get caught and everyone says "oh but they seemed so nice. We never suspected a thing".

That will fit nicely with the 3 we have (Romero, Lindegaard and Fellaini) who look like those serial killers who get caught and everyone says "Yeah.. fair enough. We always suspected".
 
How credible are TA in Norway? Any Norwegians care to enlighten us, cheers.

How much potential does this kid have?

He is one of the fastest footballers I have ever seen. With and without the ball. Great dribbler. Reminds me of a young Giggs. I am really happy that he supports United. We should be able to beat Real Madrid this time.

Damn I'm liking the sound of this. :drool:

I've decided this is my muppet dream signing for 2015. Yes, a 17 year old.

Doesn't seal it, though. Other clubs could sweep in.

Lol, well the mighty Molde could hijack the bid... :P

All joking aside, if the player says it's his dream to play for us and we have been in contact with the club, you'd have to think something is in the offing at the very least. A buy and loan-back is probably what will happen, and the first-team games he'll get there will be a welcome bonus for his development.
 
If TA says there has been a bid - there is definitely something in it. The city where come from (Skien) is small, and Odd is basically built around local players - and TA wouldn't make this up. They are bound to have very good sources inside the club.

(and Yes - I am Norwegian)

You think you'd be safe with an Atlético home grown player but I guess nothing is sacred anymore.

Shame Real aren't going to have their transfer ban upheld because if that were the case I'd wager my house on him staying with us permanently, stupid Madrid :(
