That’s as upsetting as anything I’ve heard regarding player sales. I had Wilson down as our player with the highest ceiling. That lad can go to the very very top. I guess it appears spurs also realised this and gave us enough money that we had to sell. Still gutted about it - I do think he could easily be worth £100m in 2 years but it’s a gamble we can’t take/afford if we’re getting near £30m now in the championship I suppose.
"What can I say about Odobert? I don’t know whether he’s going to a good, bad, indifferent or brilliant player for us but I can report that he’s going to excite fans with his play. Full of confidence and pace, and at just eighteen, it’s going to be good finding out."
A real shame after his performance at Luton when his work rate went up tenfold compared to last season. That, added to his quality, would have made him the league’s stand out player and helped massively in getting us promotion.
Didn’t Spurs pay around 40/45m for Brennan Johnson? I’d argue Odobert has a far higher ceiling than him.
Fra deres første kamp mot Luton:
Odobert 8 too good for this level
Odobert 8 - really hope we get to watch this lad glide round all season
Odobert 8 - Very composed for his goal. I still think he should play out wide, but he looked scary at times when running through the middle. Just needs to be more careful when he receives the ball in dangerous areas. Was mugged twice near the middle.
Oderbert - 8 dangerous , fast, great goal
Odobert 8- think this kids gonna be an absolute star
Odobert 7 - might be a bit harsh but he gave the ball away a few times through dallying. Think he’ll grow into the league though and undoubtedly has the talent to be a big player for us this year.
Odobert 9 - love seeing him down the middle. He showed glimpses of what he can do down the middle at Everton (a). A real talent on our hands. Showed his pace for the goal and a composed finish
Odobert 9 - too hot to handle, will get 20 in that role. A year in this proving ground could make him a top player, toughen him up.
Odobert 8 - this lad will have too much for this league
Odobert - 8 we'll do very well to hold on to him
Odobert 9 - caused them no end of problems - super goal
Odobert 7: Just too quick for the second goal. Does tend to drift in and out of the match but will hopefully develop consistency as the season unfolds.
Odob...7..There's genuine class there..just needs time on the job now.
Utrolig aktivt forum Burnley har.
Virker som vi har kjøpt en unggutt med sabla mye talent (til og med mer enn Johnson som høres litt usannsynlig ut, men...). Og som fortsatt er litt uferdig. Kan leve med det. Passer fint sammen med de vi har i så fall.
