They look like completely different players. Korean Messi plays like Messi in that he's good at dribbling, finishing, etc... and is really efficient. Odegaard is more like Ozil. The difference is that Odegaard has played first team football (in a shit league) while Korean Messi hasn't.

That is some terrible defending.

They just stand there and watch him. Chris Smalling won't be having any of that. Lucky for him he'll be playing in la liga.

You know who else looked good in gifs?....Anderson.

I think Odegaards dribbling, from my extensive youtube scouting *tips fedora*, is very similar to Messi's actually. Keeps the ball very close to his feet.

As a Norwegian, I can tell you this guy is yet another overhyped teenager. The difference this time, is that Real Madrid paid actual money to get him.

Ando had a career changing injury just before joining United and then also got a completely different position to play in. He was never the same after that. Might as well be talking about 2 completely different players.

Nope. FIFA banned him with some other kids, preventing them to play till they are 18.

Ban the club, no problem. But why ban the kids and prevent them to make progress as an football players boggles my mind. But then again it is FIFA.

Wooden's brother is sensational. Just look at him...we can all tell he is better than Isco and James combined from those gifs. It's incredible at that age.

DC you can have Isco. Odegaard is the future.

#OdegaardToMadrid

"Liverpool wanted Valdes and there was an offer from Juventus, too. He didn't feel right about either club, especially Liverpool even though their goalkeeping situation is far more fraught than United's and he could have been a realistic first-choice custodian.

In the end, Valdes felt better about Manchester United, in part because he knew Van Gaal and United's goalkeeping coach Frans Hoek. United welcomed him in October with a view to him training well, then passing a medical and signing for the club. Valdes accepted United's offer."

In tears.

Well, he'd be a cunt to refuse a contract from a club that allowed him to train while he was unemployed, and a club as massive as Man Utd to begin with.

I really don't think the problem laid on Juventus or Pool tbh. He was about to join Monaco in the summer FFS.

This is true enough :lol

Still, what I infer from that article is that he met Brendan in a high street Costa and the latter tried to explain how a great goalkeeper is like a pair of underpants because it keeps all the balls out of danger and also keeps the sperm warm and he lost Victor so Victor started making excuses to leave and Brendan said don't go and started to rub Victor's shaved bonce and stroked his cheeks saying "look into my eyes look into my eyes not around the eyes look into my eyes" but Vic was having none of it and he told Brendan where he could stick his canvas.

Will be suprised if they keep the deal of free sport with BT internet.

They could probably charge the same prices as Sky now and still get people buying.

Sky Sports 5, home of European football, but no Champions League.

I remember reading BT will put on a free game every week, but that it could be something shit like Debrecen v Lucerne
