A very good deal. Costs next to nothing, EPL proven. And no obligation to buy if it doesn't work out.
He's very good at that dummy. Decent close control. Do you have anything of him in China?Tbf he was class that one year in Watford (though a while ago). Good luck to him! Incredibly random and funny how it came to this but genuinely think he'll end up being a decent loan signing.
The thread is done. I'll add the rest if it helps you sleep better.Can this thread please be done properly?!! @MyOnlySolskjaer where you at?
Glad someone else picked up on the dummy mania. Can't wait till he sits a few people on their arses. The Caf will light up into action!Based on that video the guy absolutely loves a dummy (or two, or three).
Let’s hope he turns out a better loan signing than Falcao.
Cry me a river.I'm pretty sure Barcelona, Real, Liverpool, Juventus or City were not among them.
I really hope I’m wrong but I think it’s going to turn sour fast for him. He’s been playing in China for 2 1/2 years.I'll be honest, I have a feeling he's gonna absolutely bang
1 - it's a loan so there's not any pressure, we'll be happy if he hits the target
2 - he seems a decent bloke
3 - this transfer reminds me of a trademark fergie signing. Not sure why.
I think he'll score more than that , he seems to be a consistent scorer. With Pogba back alongside Fernandes he can hopefully benefit from the extra creativity. We don't have an out and out striker apart from Greenwood at the moment but Ighalo can take the pressure off greenwood.I really hope I’m wrong but I think it’s going to turn sour fast for him. He’s been playing in China for 2 1/2 years.
I think he will struggle to score more than 3 goals.
How's he been doing in China RS? Very interesting signing. I'm not sure what to make of it at all. Apparently Barca were interested last year and Spurs and Inter this window (yet Jim white says Villa turned him down yesterday evening).I'm just happy we brought a forward in. Worst case scenario he fail epicly and in that scenario we wouldn't sign him but at least he's a rotation option and eases the pressure on Martial and Greenwood a little.
Barca were 100% one of them this time last year: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/47733498 and https://www.marca.com/en/football/barcelona/2019/03/30/5c9fc8dc22601d11638b4567.htmlI'm pretty sure Barcelona, Real, Liverpool, Juventus or City were not among them.
It's one of the few leagues I really don't follow so feck knows. I couldn't even tell you the relative strength of the league or quality. His international record isn't too bad though.How's he been doing in China RS? Very interesting signing. I'm not sure what to make of it at all.

Same as ‘**** hero’ Henrik Larsson then.I really hope I’m wrong but I think it’s going to turn sour fast for him. He’s been playing in China for 2 1/2 years.

No, the person who made the video has just changed the title.I was watching this earlier and noticed it was uploaded one week ago.
Anyone know if we were linked to him then?
Going by that and why he turned down Barca I presume he's been told he'll get plenty of game time with United. Best of luck to him, hopefully it's a loan deal to remember for the right reasons.Barca were 100% one of them this time last year: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/47733498 and https://www.marca.com/en/football/barcelona/2019/03/30/5c9fc8dc22601d11638b4567.html
Sneaky. I see.No, the person who made the video has just changed the title.
At Barca he wouldn't have started any game going by the quality of front 3, with Messi playing centrally and Suarez leading the line. At ManUtd we have many injuries and light in attacking positions. So he should get plenty of mins.Going by that and why he turned down Barca I presume he's been told he'll get plenty of game time with United.

The wages must've played a huge role too. Not only will he be nowhere near a starting role, but his wages at Barca must also be very low compared to his current wages in China.At Barca he wouldn't have started any game going by the quality of front 3, with Messi playing centrally and Suarez leading the line.

Also I think difference is, the league is delayed IIRC, so that should also play some role.
His wages would be low at Manutd too, it was short term deal last year, same this year. Don't think any club will pay what these players earn in China. Apparently he earns 300K per week in China, gets around 100K per week at ManUtd.The wages must've played a huge role too.

Yeah for sure. But he barely has any competition to get into the starting line up at United. Barca is a whole different story altogether.His wages would be low at Manutd too, it was short term deal last year, same this year. Don't think any club will pay what these players earn in China.

Lucky it's a loan then. Can return without the receipt.Will be a terrible signing
Yeah, wouldn't have started any game for Barca. For us he should start few easily going by lack of depth and injury issues.Yeah for sure. But he barely has any competition to get into the starting line up at United. Barca is a whole different story altogether.
These posters are too fast these days, I can't keep up.Can this thread please be done properly?!! @MyOnlySolskjaer where you at?
Agreed, really delighted with this.Well done on this one. We absolutely needed another striker and to get one like Ighalo for 6 months is excellent work.
It is going to be nice to have some options where we can actually have a striker that is in the box more, maybe actually kill off quite a few delicious balls that have gone begging.
He once scored a brace against our neighbours from down the east lancs road, yes I appreciate that was 5 years ago but still think that it's a nice little stat to have on your resume for a Utd player who is coming to the club with many doubters. He actually scored 15 goals in the league that season which is a pretty decent return and saw him finish the seventh highest scorer overall.I dont know much about him but lets hope he does well. He will get plenty of chances, with Rashford out I can see Martial moving left and him playing centrally.
Such a shame there's fans who want him to fail at United...Apparently he turned down quite a few other clubs because he wanted to play for United. Go on son!
