Hey Ed01,

These rumours to loan odegaard must be baseless right? Also, a while before I had heard ed002 mention some promising youngsters in world football and ojo was one among them. Just curious if Patrick Roberts was part of that list. Also, wanted to know your thoughts on the player if he is currently ahead of ojo in development. If this is not for the Liverpool pages, please feel free to take it down.

{Ed001's Note - I have no idea if Roberts was on the list. Odegaard is paid far too much for us to consider signing an immature little brat with interest only in getting money.}

Ake, Ojo and Meyer were the 3 who are still showing promise. There was also a South American striker who I can't name, but seem to recall he went off the boil!

How often are those reports that accurate, most kids hyped up that much at that age struggle to stay grounded.

Anyone know how to pronounce his name? I heard a Norwegian guy is it's "Oh-De-Wuhr" or something similar.

I think the name of that Brazilian striker was Gabriel Barbosa.

Ødegaard pronunciation is kinda like. Imagine the U in "fur", there's your Ø (it's just like the German Ö) . Ö-deh-gawrd. Or maybe Ö-deh-goord (double O as in floor) . English and Norwegian sound a bit different, so it's impossible to accurately map the sounds between the languages.

Ed002 specifically mentioned Ojo as one of the biggest young talents in Europe. That's good enough for me as Ed doesn't go over the top on things.

{Ed002's Note - He was one of four players named in 2013 as great prospective talents.}

Hsf it is almost right, Oh-de-guard. But its an "Ø" and not an "O" in the first letter pronounced like the sound "u" in the word "run" and "sun" and a double "A" is an "Å" that is pronounced like the word "awe" with no pressure on the e. So for a norwegian it is pronounced something like: Oed-de-gawrd. It that makes any sense?

Svinepelz explains it better!
