It does make you wonder why Kompany never tried to take him to Bayern when he clearly thinks he's destined for the very top of the game.
Their squad has bigger holes to fill like DM and kompany needs success this season. He is in a weak position there being 7th or 8th choice so he's going the Conte route of needing players who can perform at top level now and can't blame him

From the City game yesterday the main threat came from Doku who was impossible to get off the ball. Got round the defender every time. From that take-on chart above, Odobert seems to fair pretty well with Doku which is promising. We really need someone like that.

Doku started on the right though and got nothing out of Cucarella. It was only when Savinho moved right that he rinsed him a couple of times.

Musiala, Sane, Coman, Gnabry, Tel, Olise, Muller.

Fairly stacked in his positions(s) with top class talent already.

I guess if you are a club the size of Bayern and are offered Olise, you go with him, knowing he will perform.

They were also in for Doue too who is better.

Maybe he doesn't have much of a say in their transfer policy..?
My guess also. I mean if you believe you have a young talent with that much potential you'd think a club like Bayern would find the money if your manager did have say.

No possibility of Odobert tonight... :cautious: I assumed it wouldn't be an issue as he'd already played a season in England but apparently it is. Adds even more mystery to the reasons behind rushing to get an announcement out before the deadline on Friday.

Ridiculous. If he got a work permit last season for Burnley, why is it suddenly an issue now?

Odobert literally played for Burnley last weekend at Luton.

How can he not have a work permit between then and now?!

Not sure if he would have got a run out yet anyway. We have everyone available so expect Johnson and Werner on the bench tonight and think they would get the nod first. He'll get time to settle until the fixtures start to add up. Might even see Moore for a short run out.
