How surprising Oghalo is now saying he used to play in NORWAY when younger
Odion Ighalo: Manchester United player on loan until the end of the season
- Thread starter Fooza
- Start date
Doesn't fit the profile.
Plus he is on 300k/week. Think there might be competition at that price range.
No need to feel offended. I live in China and am personally affected because I frequently travel between China and HK. You posted something incorrect, I offered a correction. No more, no less.
And generally, I’m old-fashioned, I prefer my sources to not lean in any direction other than fact-based truth.

Motivation never an issue, cost to us is manageable, but fitness no. They just have end of season so he is probably a few KG overweight. Impact sub for a few games perhaps.
Don’t let facts get in the way of hysteria.
Sorry , but i just do not rate him.He had only one good season in epl.His best 3 seasons are in Segunda Division B,Championship and Chinese L.
He's an actual striker, with a decent record and experience. Something we have not had this season and even in the previous few we certainly haven't had a hard working Striker. He's going to surprise a lot of people and will be a starter for most of the rest of the season.

Can we pay him minimum wage?
A 15 minute interview is out with him on the united app. Just go watch it, thats what i call an honest speech, im in love with the guy already.
Great watch. He seems like a superb character.
He seems a tidy bloke and I'd have no issue with us retaining him permanently if he puts in a shift, albeit on a much reduced salary and NOT as our only striking reinforcement.
Next season (if Ighalo does well), I'd be happy with:
Rashford/Martial/Ighalo/NEW TOP STRIKER as our four options with Greenwood spending a full season on loan at a good club where he'll start regularly.

Nice guy looking forward to playing for his dream club.
Watched it, it was very good. I thought he might cry any moment.
Love the interview. He's so fecking happy and motivated to be here. You know his aim is make himself go from undesirable to undeniable during these few months and make it a permanent move. He doesn't need to say it, but you just know this what he wants.
Very pleasing to hear him identifying the lack of a focal point centre forward in the recent United game he has watched. Hopefully he gets more out of Martial too.

I don't think so - Martial joined in 2015 and has shown very little desire.
Well Ed couldn't find a striker so Ole had to rely on his past contacts imo.
Motivated Lukaku > Motivated Igahlo > Wantaway Lukaku
Unfortunately, Lukaku didn't want to be here and frankly you could tell at times.
You could see the eyes. Glassy.
Plus his sister died last month. So his emotions are raw.
Odion Ighalo's boots will carry a heartfelt tribute to his sister when he plays for Manchester United

Is that his sister on his twitter profile?
How is that a surprise? It's been public knowledge since, you know, he actually played in Norway.
What's so surprising?
what a lovely fella. Can't help but hope he does well.
Ole's evil for having a network, like every other professional in the entire world.
I just don't understand some of the posts. People search for reasons to be outraged or put their tinfoil hat on.

Martial FC are gonna hate him if he does decent
That put a smile on my face. Thanks for posting.
Wish him all the best.
No we won't.
Was wondering why Ighalo has some womam in dp.
Nice interview. Be surprised if he scores many, because we don't create much and his finishing is pretty bad.
Update after Odion Ighalo interview.
It seems he has taken a pay cut. So I'm back to being impressed with the committment shown. Would be nice to have a fan banging in the goals. Hope this move confounds expectations.
Oh ffs you've hit the nail right on the head.
Seems like a very nice chap. Wish him the best. However I am more worried about his fitness, having played in China. Hard to come into the squad midwinter and get up to speed. His stats from China seems good though, many dribbles, shots on goal etc. Will be able to hold on to the ball and deliver it to the other forwards or midfielders on runs. I hope he surprises everyone.
Also, for the tin-foil hat persons here regarding Ighalo having played in Norway, that was in 2007 for the club Lyn, which had no connection to Ole, Ole being in Manchester at that time and starting on his coach license later that year.

What makes you say his finishing is pretty bad?
Never let the truth get in the way of a good conspiracy.
I always want our new signings to do well, obviously, but there's something about this where I would just take so much pleasure and joy if it all goes great for him. It's a great story.
What a cracking interview. I think no matter what happens, he is going to give his everything for our team. This is a stark contrast to some of the attitudes we’ve been used to and so for that, we should al get behind him. It might take him a while to get up to speed but I’ve got a funny feeling adrenaline and desire are gonna take him to a higher level than he’s achieved in his career previously.
I’d be really happy if he does well and we Lee him tbh. We should still buy a striker in the summer but we need four good ones and I think both Rashford and Martial are better as wide forwards
