Earn wrote This is off topic to what you guys are discussing, but what's your guys opinions on Martin Odegaard signing for Real Madrid at the age of 16? I personally think it's a great move for him since hes making tons of money and hes really young and has a huge potential but I sort of think its a waste of talent since he wont get a lot of play time at Real Madrid unless they loan him out also Real Madrid aren't the best at bringing up young players. Not the greatest decision. The allure of Real Madrid might be great but first team opportunites will be minimal. Liverpool or somewhere he'd get good amount of first team game time would've been good. Ajax, Liverpool etc. |

Nothing wrong with asking this dude but I'd refer back a few pages as we discussed this earlier, so most would just be repeating themselves |

Yes he will love the wages but if he wants to progress as much as possible I doubt he will do that playing u18 games for Madrid. Nobody will want to take him on loan either because he is unproven and on massive wages now so unless Madrid are willing to pay his wages while hes on loan he won't become as good as he can be |

He'll likely play for one of Madrid's smaller teams to gain experience but I'm not sure the decision was right for him professionally. He had years to harness his ability before making a big move. Still, financially, it means he'll be very well off in case he crops (e.g. Freddy Adu looked great at that age and cropped) |

Well.. Thats awkz as it looks like we are going to go more in depth on the Odegaard topic xD in which case, I personally think its too early, I don't think he'll reach anywhere near his maximum potential at Madid unless they loan him out for a few more seasons, which is a possibility..
But who can blame him - imagine you're 16 and Real Madrid come knocking on the door. I get excited enough when that happens to my career pro on Fifa! |

Should of went to a Ajax ,A Southampton or similar , Financially within a year of being at madrid he can quit and live off that cash (And investments) for life so fnnancialy its a great move and he always has the safetly net of the cash even if he flops its going to be an easy life for him. |

Really hope the kid proves everyone wrong though. Would be a shame to put that talent to waste |

Just realised i said about spending 5k+ on a night out and realised he isnt even old enough to go on nights out xD , Can you spend 5k+ in a cinema? xD |
