Is he rated similarly to Odegaard at the same age back in Norway?
Sverre Nypan | Norwegian media: Will do a PL tour in December
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
I heard that he dont train. Only play games. Dont know why. Maybe due to growth?
Wouldn’t say so. Ødegaard was already in Madrid by Nypan’s age, and was making more headlines. He also made his debut for the NT when he was still 15.
Was the best player on the pitch when we played Rosenberg, would be a great fit for an Amorim team and comparatively cheap would love to see him signed up before somebody else gets in there, we need to start bringing talent through not buying superstars, and seems like that is the plan
No. Ødegaard was absolutely crazy talented at a very young age. He debuted in the Norwegian top division when he was 15 years and 117 days and the national team when he was 15 years and 256 days. Even at that age he was exceptional.
Is he Kendry level good? ‘Good is not good enough’, as a bald man once said. I want the very best.
Unfortunately, I don't think the Kendry's and Estevao's level talents come around that often so think we just have to drop a rung. Having said that, I think even Kendry is struggling this year so who knows.
Tbf that whole Odegaard situation was so cringe when you think about it.. ended up at Madrid and subsequently couldn’t cut it at the highest level, you’d think they had the next Messi on their hands the way everyone was banging on about him for a while… he’s turned into a good player, but nothing like the hype he had at one time
Yeah he arguably set his career back but he was so young he could spend a few years on loan and still arrive at Arsenal in his prime. The funny thing is now he's Madrid level.
It all could have gone so wrong.
Hard to tell how good because of the league hes playing in. But he looks as good as Bergvall who at 18 played for Spurs in midfield as they thumped Southampton. Two footed, close control, technical skill and scoring goals
Indeed, this was also my take from what I’ve seen if all three players. Call me spoiled, but it’s made me not get particularly excited about Nypan links thus far. To me, a 17 year old Mason Mount just isn’t going to make me follow the story with great interest (took my ages to come up with that phrasing as everything else would have landed me in that God-forsaken thread in the GF!). I feel like at any point, a top club can go and sign a Mason Mount level of player. Good player, by all means. But not a defining one.
The Kendry’s and Estevão’s are the ones that really pique your interest about having potential world beaters. I really do not get why we had no interest at all in Estevao, all through Chelsea’s pursuit I was waiting for a ‘not only Chelsea, but United are also there’, and it never came.
Of course, I’ve seen enough football to know that Nypan could end up the best of all three, but he doesn’t have the same fantasy to his game for me.
Yeah - I do think Yoro is the defensive equivalent and Nypan might end up being a Bruno rather than a Mount - although still think a prime Mount (11goals 10 assists) would be a great addition if gotten on the cheap. We definitely need someone with superstar potential in the front line as I'm not sure Hojlund has that ceiling in him and who knows about Rashford/Garna.
Any idea ballpark on how much he would cost? transfermarket has him at 12m euros but do not know how likely/accurate it is
Was Mount doing this at 16/17?
He's clearly a bigger talent than Mount. Might be better to compare him to Amad
Indeed, Yoro was one in that very rare profile, and as a result, I was far more invested than some links to an Antonio Silva or something.
Mount is of course, a good player, but not a player that is making headlines and the subject to fierce bidding wars at 17. We can go and buy one at any time really. Not saying we shouldn’t, but it’s not a signing that requires that long term planning.
I agree with you about the star quality in the forward line too. It would be good if we had special, as opposed to just functional. Amad may well be able to reach that bracket hopefully.
Anyway, I don’t purport to be an expert on Nypan, mainly Youtube, but he doesn’t strike me as the ‘chase by Real Madrid and Barcelona’ type of 17 year old.
Also Kendry is playing in Ecuador and not that many games each season. 3 goals and 4 assists in 13 games last season is good, but Nypan has 8 goals and 7 assists in 28 games this season - a similar end product rate in twice as many matches. Its harder to keep it up with more matches and if nothing else, having more first team experience and being used to playing that many matches weekly is better too.
It's the Norwegian league, its a very low standard to go off. Mount was playing in the Dutch League at the age of 18 and then the Championship at 19.
I wouldn't read anything in to his performances for Rosenborg so far. It's on a par with playing in Scotland or league one!
Its not a great league, but the poster is championing Kendry who is playing in Ecaudor.
Some rumours in Norway saying that it’s going to be United for Nypan.
Don't watch RBK. How decent is he?
Interestingly enough he follows Manchester United.

I think he might become one of the best Norway has ever produced. His passing/shooting is similar to Ødegaard, but his got more pace and flair. It’s a more urgency in his game as well.
Looks a great talent. Reminds me of Kaka in how he glides past players, bumping off them like dodgem cars.
Hopefully the fact he’s a Utd fan will give us the edge. Probably exactly what we’d need for a future 10 in this system.

Thanks AM! He sounds promising
He is no10, right?
Can play CM too.
So Nypan is a predator?
He turns 18 in two days. That means he could move in January, right?
I don't think he'd move here as some sort of a youth project. Surely he's after genuine game time to continue his development, and for his physical presence I can't imagine we'd play him in a midfield pivot, likely one of the #10s. At least to begin with.
The only No10 position nailed down is Amad and he's more often that not at RWB. Even Bruno is often further back.
If he came now he'd definately get opportunity.
He's immediate squad rotation, even at 17. He's that talented.
I'm thinking he's looked at what he would be up against at #10 and even at 8 and thought there was a lot of opportunity.
We seem to be intent on signing some of these talented players, and getting them in cheap while we can.
Does not matter if he can contribute immediately, we can sign 2 or 3 of these type of signing compared to one of a more established player.

Is this condition for Europeans too? I thought it was only for South Americans?

Would be a great future prospect to have in the squad.
Box-to-box but I see him also as someone who can play as one of the no10. Reminds me a bit of Kaká in the way he receives passes and glides past players. After Grønbæk left for Rennes in the summer, he stepped us as one of the standout players in the league. Been remarkably consistent despite his age. League is not that good but on a upwards trajectory on the back of B/G's performances in Europe over the last few years.
He's has been hinting about United since he made his debut just shy of his 16th birthday two years ago. Might be a solid rotation option right now, but if we sign him then we will probably carefully manage his workload like Rosenborg. Or most likely that we loan him back until the summer like it what's being mentioned in the Norwegian press.. He also needs to work alot on his pressing.

Yes. He had an infection that wouldn't let go and niggling injuries before the summer, causing them to be cautious about putting him to full training for a while. In addition to them managing him very well by constantly watching his workload due to his age.
