It’s like we’re only interested if they cost big money.

Ben White was signed with full knowledge that he works best in a 3ATB setup, and was exposed in our 2CB formation.
Aouar would be the same, we wouldn't play to his strengths. Odegaard knows the system and can coexist with ESR. Its not a bad decision.

The point you made about Real managers rejecting him is fair, but Aouar isn't really in demand either. We'd have a free run at him if we wanted, and that too is a red flag.

Quite the drop in value for a player who still has 2 years left on his contract.
From 50m to 20m.
Perhaps the scouts know something you don't.
I think over the last 2 seasons he has 10 goals and 6 assists - and been injury prone.. and that is in the French league.
In the last 40 league games he has completed 90 minutes just 8 times.
