Cracker of a player. Top teams will be on alert if he continues this kind of form.

He's the guy who got chucked out at Brügge, because he threw a tantrum after he didn't get to sit in his favourite bus seat, right? :lol:
He looked pretty anonymous at Cologne, too. I'm surprised he seems to be doing so well in the PL.

Feels like a purple patch, really. He wasn’t that great at Brugge and according to his Wikipedia he had 9 games with 0 goals at Cologne

Some players just suit our league. He could be one of them. Gave us a torrid time and ripped United apart.

Didn't he score twice v Real Madrid a few seasons back?

Looks a talented player every time I've seen him. Very good dribbler, gets in good positions but end products sometimes lacking.

Can't really see him at a top side, despite his talent as there are question marks over his defensive work and mentality. Seems one of those players who wants to be a big fish in a small pond.

Scored against us in the Europa a couple of years back didn't he? Remember him being lively then too

He recently talked about how he wasn't up to the task mentally. Sounded a lot like he just needed a fresh start more than anything else after last season.

Also Cologne last season was horrible over all. Weak mentality and overly defensive performances made any striker they had look like a turn, and when you don't have a Zlatan-like ego you won't be successful under those circumstances. They really turned that around this season, so I am quite sure that he would be brilliant under Baumgart if he had stayed.

Always wondered why nobody better than Watford went for him after some really good performances in European competitions. I guess if he's had some mentality problems then that would be why. I think he's a class player though, if he keeps a good attitude I don't think he'll be at Watford for long.

Brugge wanted to get rid of him and his loan to Bundesliga went very badly as well.

Talented players like him that are still relatively young are always worth a punt if you're a self confident manager though, his upside is huge.

I used to support Arsenal. Now they're shit I've decided I'm not supporting them. It's what any true fan would do. Look at me I'm Mr Meesis.

I don’t believe a single player when they say they support team X, when X is not from the country they grew up in. Take Lukaku for example, if you listen to what he ACTUALLY says, he started supporting Chelsea when Roman bought the club and it’s not like he was 5 when that happened. Funny that.

The new ighalo, remember when he joined watford and had a great purple patch that had him being linked to us half way through the season and then eventually faded into obscurity...until ole realised he messed up his transfer business and got desperate for any old mediocre striker.

Watford fecked up. You simply don't deny a player the chance to represent their country at a major tournament.

Might be worth a gentle check of any local bookies for big sums on a red card.
Seemed hellbent on getting sent off yesterday.

Zero goals in nine games in Bundesliga, if I just may say so once.

They stopped him from going to AFCON, not only has this on fire striker not scored since, but now he's got himself sent off.

Had they let him go, they would have been no worse off and would have had a still motivated striker when he returned.

Serves them fecking well right.

Yeah it does, was a shitty dick move by Watford.

The cuts have hardly tried a leg since they thrashed us in the cup final.
