I don't think Ødegaard is a problem, or will be either. He is soon only 23, and giving good performances already, and is good at most things. Really, he was pretty cheap in today's market.
Like you say, we need a top class striker (maybe who can cover the wing if necessary, and that needs to be a great talent to be able to do that. This could help us not needing to buy so many backup players, and we still have Auba for two years after this one.), and a top class midfielder to partner Partey.
Those two will elevate our team a lot, after that we can look if Ødegaard & ESR will become great or if we need someone.
ESR/Saka/Ødegaard will be a major problem............ playing all 3 is a terrible idea and will never work out. They simply will not score enough goals and it doesn't help that the guy playing in front of them is no longer as reliable as he used to be. 1 of these 3 will have to be dropped for someone who can score goals, and IMHO Ødegaard should be the one. He's the least talented of the 3 and have the lowest ceiling.
