Martin Odegaard

[BarçaBarça]

Rennes coach confirms that they will loan him for 1 year. Good for him to get some minutes, so we can see if he really has something to justify the hype/his salary in a better team than in Norway. To demand training with the RM first team and pick the club who can offer the highest wages wasn't a good sign in terms of attitude, imo.

Despite falling off the hype train, he actually made decent progress last year...This loan deal can end up being a good opportunity for him, provided he gets sufficient playing time in France

Cautionary tale for young players aspiring to a club like that

Any news on how he has been lately?

 

[DonAK]

Looked very good lately and seem to have played quite well yesterday too.

The problem with Ødegaard after moving to Madrid seemed to be him being afraid of taking risks, take on players, make those passes, but now it seems like he's doing that.

Funnily though, Martin and Alena seem to be quite similar players IMO. I don't know if I'm the only person that feels that way, but they do share some very similar traits, in their playing style.

It says Ødegaard is loaned out to Herenveen until June 2018, it's not been confirmed from neither of both clubs yet.

 

[SeloBarca]

thats what you get for choosing money instead of a club that actually have a good youthsystem.

There will be a presentation tomorrow.

Sorry, but this is a good move for him. He's been developing nicely, just 18, and now he's been sent to a place where he should continue to develop (like Asensio, Vallejo and the Llorente's). Madrid completely outdoing us in regards of handling youth these days. It's as simple as that.

 

[El Barcelona]

Why, because they send the guy to Heerenveen? Makes no sense for me.

 

[MessiDinho10]

Heerenveen has a good reputation when it comes to developing Scandinavian talent, so it absolutely makes sense to send him there.

 

[slicknick]

Is this guy still alive btw? Kinda wonder how he is doing out there in the Netherlands

 

[DonAK]

Warming the bench.

Not even the best Norwegian in his team if I have gotten it right by people watching Heerenveen.
