Official now, Arsenal did well to sign him. He had a good loan spell and looks very good addition for their team.

That's terrible. Like holy shit terrible.Høme? Why do social media accounts have to be so cringe?
Don't get why isn't it Welcøme høme then?Høme? Why do social media accounts have to be so cringe?
Not really. Hype around him has died and he hasn’t been performing for the national team for a couple of years now. We’re all on the Haaland train these days.Are a lot of Norwegians on here deeply invested in this transfer?
Nope. Didn't care about Madrid, don't care about Arsenal.Are a lot of Norwegians on here deeply invested in this transfer?
Well, you already had him for few months. Basically Arsenal spent 130M and the only thing they did is replaced Luiz with White.At least we have finally signed a player that improves the first team for this season!
He'll get that at Arsenal. Could see it in spells during his loan. He'll quickly become the attacking leader of the team.Sociedad was his level. Seems to thrive when he's a big fish in a small pond.
Makes him perfect for Arsenal then.Sociedad was his level. Seems to thrive when he's a big fish in a small pond.
Such a narrow minded view point.Well, you already had him for few months. Basically Arsenal spent 130M and the only thing they did is replaced Luiz with White.
They have one of the best 9 who scores lot of goals but for some reasons Arteta thinks he should play as left wing forward. Auba scored 22 league goals in 2018-19 and 2019-20 but for some reason Arteta played him as wing forward.Will he take game time away from Smith Rowe, who is seemingly a better player already in my lacklustre opinion then Odegaard?
I guess it makes sense to have depth and rotation but Arsenal need a striker more than anything.
You're aware that he scored those league goals.. from the LW..They have one of the best 9 who scores lot of goals but for some reasons Arteta thinks he should play as left wing forward. Auba scored 22 league goals in 2018-19 and 2019-20 but for some reason Arteta played him as wing forward.
You're just biased because of your name!I think people in general are overly unfair on their criticisms of Ødegaard, but other than that he hasn't yet taken the step needed to be regarded as a top player.
I think it's a good move for him, to play regularily in the PL instead of being loaned out for the 50th time, or be squad player at Real.Good move for Arsenal. Bad move for him.
How many Arsenal players have actually improved under Arteta?
didn’t the stats show he was one of the highest chances creators in the league during his time there? Can’t really blame him if he’s creating chances and others aren’t putting them away. Arsenal do some really strange business most of the time but can’t really see a downside to this. He’s 22, showed glimpses of his potential and likely to get better. 30m seems more than reasonable.They had a taste of him last season. Didnt look much and 1 goal and 2 assists in 14 games. Another £30m on a total meh player. How is this an upgrade on what they had? Why sell willock and then sign him? Its reported they will spend another £30m on Ramsdale, a twice relegated keeper as a backup. £130m spent on players without improving your team is absolutely fecking crackers
Yeah, he was supposed to be what Haaland is becoming. Now he's an average signing for an average side.Kinda a shame that he's ended up on a perm transfer to a mid table side after so much early hype.
for me its because willock tore it up as a 10 at Newcastle on loan in that period and i thought Smith Rowe was going to be that player. Selling willock and swapping odegaard just seems like pointless business to me they should have kept willock. I dont think anyone was crazy enthusiastic for odegaard to return.didn’t the stats show he was one of the highest chances creators in the league during his time there?

Not just that, how many times did he slide a winger through for an easy cut-back and goal?didn’t the stats show he was one of the highest chances creators in the league during his time there?

It would depend on what the "xG" of the chance is, no?didn’t the stats show he was one of the highest chances creators in the league during his time there? Can’t really blame him if he’s creating chances and others aren’t putting them away.
No, but I'm aware that Iwobi, Saka, Mkhitaryan played as wingers in 2018-19 and Auba played very few games as LW.You're aware that he scored those league goals.. from the LW..
Also aware we've tried him up top on his own, and it hasn't worked well?
That's why hes gone to another mid table team.Sociedad was his level. Seems to thrive when he's a big fish in a small pond.
The chances he created in the league added up to around 2 xG, and he got 2 assists. I don't think it's a case of his teammates not scoring enough of them.It would depend on what the "xG" of the chance is, no?
Depends what you mean by top player, but yeah, at the moment he still has plenty of potential but a bit average overall.Nope. Didn't care about Madrid, don't care about Arsenal.
He is a media darling in Norway though, has to be said, both for his style of play and good attitude.
I think people in general are overly unfair on their criticisms of Ødegaard, but other than that he hasn't yet taken the step needed to be regarded as a top player.
fits Arsenal thenSociedad was his level. Seems to thrive when he's a big fish in a small pond.
So he'll smash it at Arsenal.Sociedad was his level. Seems to thrive when he's a big fish in a small pond.
