David Odogu has said his first words as an AC Milan player, revealing his delight after sealing a deadline day move.
Going into the final day of the summer mercato, Odogu’s name had not been mentioned once as a target. However, when the Joe Gomez deal with Liverpool looked to have hit the brakes, the Rossoneri moved quickly to bring the German defender in from Wolfsburg.

While waiting for his full first interview with Milan TV, a snippet was posted on the official Instagram account in which the 19-year-old shares his initial emotions.
“Yesterday everything happened so quickly, it was incredible. I still can’t quite grasp what’s happened in the last 24 hours. So much has happened, it’s an incredible feeling. I’m very grateful to be here and I’m happy to be part of this club,” he said.

I do hope he surprises us all.
Akanjii or Gomez would have been ideal. I’m wondering when we will see De Winter?
We will see him in winter
Allegri will be working to have a consistent 11 before throwing in players he hasn’t relied on. So if Tomori fails to nail down his position expect De Winter to come in and this applies to Pavlovic, Odorgu is a left sided CB. I believe that is what Allegri will do and he has the tendency to be very willing to accept a player of his to make one or two mistakes but if they are consistently making the same errors in multiple games he will change it up.
So be on the look out for similar mistakes for a period of 3-4 games in any one position and expect a change afterwards. Supposedly he will stick with a bad performer if the alternative is worse or if there is no one else.
We’re toast bro’s
I don’t see us finishing top 4, the only saving grace is no UCL. Wow these guys dismantled a winning team effortlessly and brought in nobodies and kids
