The kid already has 96 senior appearances which makes the regression a bit more concerning. He is in Holland for another season after this so maybe he will be more settled next year.
I don't think he has regressed tbf on him. Need to bulk up.He was playing regularly for Strømsgodset in the Norwegian top division. In fact, he was the best player in the entire league in his final season. He would definitely have gotten regular first team football in a better team in a better league if he chose more wisely and didn't regress.
Suffers from the same problem as Mats Moller Daehli: Weak and slow, still a lot better than Daehli though. if we just could have mixed the technical part of Daehli and the physical part of King. That would have been like a new T. HenryWhy is everyone overreacting?
He's exactly where he should be for an 18 year old.
Their results have been terrible since reducing his minutes, so it's their loss.
A guy I know who saw him live in the lower Spanish leagues said he has outrageous ability.
Forget about Portugal, Adu wasn't even good enough for the Finnish league. Amazing flop.Bebe is far better than Adu. United wasn't his level but he has done alright in midtable teams from Portugal and Spain. It wasn't his fault that United got duped by Mendes. Adu was confortably one of the worst players i saw playing at Benfica. And they had some really crappy players in the past such as Steve Harkness, Scott Minto, Michael Thomas or Gary Charles. He couldn't hack it at Belenenses either. So much slower and less technically gifted than the average portuguese league player.
The main reason for the bad results was losing Stijn Schaars to injury. He was is a former Dutch international, played for PSV, played for Sporting and won the Eredisivie with AZ. For a club like Heerenveen that is a absolute star player. He was playing that good for Heerenveen that he got invited to our (currently shit) national team which is something special as a Heerenveen player.Why is everyone overreacting?

Schaars Too bad he was too injury prone at Sporting. Really liked him as a player. Captain material.The main reason for the bad results was losing Stijn Schaars to injury.

Odegaard just happend to join the Heerenveen about the same time Schaars got injured. I think he will do fine next season.
Why doesn't he play for the national team then? If he was better than every player in the Eliteserien then he'd be in the squad.I don't think he has regressed tbf on him. Need to bulk up.
Hahah, what an assist? How can anyone look at that goal and think more about the fecking assistTweet

oh dear Odegardneeded to stay where he was for a few more years, big mistake leaving for madrid
Would have had more assists if his team mates could hit a barn door. Poor/restraint shooter though.1 goal and 2 assists in approx 2,000 minutes played there this season. Lot of praise for him on this page but is he really doing that well as his output seems pretty poor for someone who has played mostly as a winger.
Interesting to compare him to Mason Mount. They are almost exactly the same age, both play attacking midfield kinds of positions and both playing for a similar quality team in Holland. Odegaard has been hyped for years and has lots of senior experience whereas Mount has flown under the radar among England young stars from the last year or so despite winning the 19s Euros Golden player, this is his first season at senior level.1 goal and 2 assists in approx 2,000 minutes played there this season.

I sadly don't think do.He will be a star.
NOGGIE FIGHTI sadly don't think do.
Mount will go back to Chelsea at the end of the season which won't help his career judging by what happened to other talents at Chelsea.Interesting to compare him to Mason Mount.

Odegaard seems to have a more defensive side to his game whereas Mount is more decisive with goals and perhaps stands out more. It will be interesting to see where they both go from here.
Hard to say. I expect him to get a Premier League loan next season rather than play for Chelsea. It is a worry though. I tend to think he should have played senior football last season too so him sitting on the bench next season at Chelsea won't be good at this point.Mount will go back to Chelsea at the end of the season which won't help his career judging by what happened to other talents at Chelsea.
Thats a strong hint he will be tbfI sadly don't think do.
You would expect a bit more from him given how many games he has under his belt at this point. He is technically gifted though. I still think he could kick on and become an important player.Thats a strong hint he will be tbf
