I've never even seen him play.
Swear he was just rated highly while playing for some Danish shite, don't think he's ever done anything of note
9 international caps, a Champions League debut and a RM 1st team appearance at 17 is nowt to shake your fist at. He's technically very good from what I've seen. Very nimble with decent passing. It's a pipedream but it makes me salivate what Poch could do with him.
Considering he's well experienced already at 17 with 70+ senior appearances and solid attributes.
Odegaard was a commercial signing and was forced into the first eleven in Real. He's been average for Castilla
I'm not suggesting on what he's doing now, but on his potential that Poch could help fulfill. His skillset is intriguing and there is plenty of potential there.
Out of interest, what commercial benefits does Martin Odegaard bring a club as commercially gargantuan as Real Madrid?
Are they not that big in Scandinavia?

Ship has sailed on Odegaard.
Madrid is ruining him.

Far from it. You have heard less about him lately, but still so very young. Ødegaard will be a very good player, mark my words.

He's been better this season, but he needs time. Writing off players at 17, wow!
He has a lot about him, he isn't only skillfull, but he read the game far beyond his age. He has had a rough start at one of the biggest clubs in the world, but the expectations have been idiotic and unrealistic. He is growing and is living with a pressure that is unheard of for such a young lad.
The last few months he has started to show what he can do for the U21s and Castilla. It will take time, but he will come good.
At Hamburg, struggling for appearances.
Another career ruined by making stupid decisions - should have come to Spurs when he had the chance. Seemed to have all the talent in the world.
The kid has ruined it for himself and won't make it now , should have slipped off under the radar and signed for someone like Ajax or Psv well before the hype train built up steam , he didn't now he's just another one of those rich kids who made it without ever making it , plying his trade as a novelty act for Real Madrid.
The hype around Odegaard was simply due to the fact that he played football in Norways top flight at the age of 15 - whether he was any good or not that was always going to bring publicity. In the same way that 13 year old up at Celtic is doing now. I haven't seen Odegaard beside one or two appearances for Norway where he made little impact so I wouldn't know how good he actually is.
I imagine though a 15 year old Marcus Edwards would probably have made similar impact in the Norweigen top flight.

Promising young player must be the most likely, like we tried with the Celtic Dembele.
Look no further than Moussa Dembele of Celtic for smart transfer moves - plays in the CL, plays every week, more exposure and more money no doubt.
