I wouldn't say I'm happy to stick with Ighalo, it's just his arrival has shown to me how much we desperately could do with a proper striker like him. Maybe not actually him though.
Since Dortmund aren't an English club and thus out of reach of PL's transfer tribunals and as the player is still under a youth contract the compensation for Birmingham will be much less than what United supposedly would have had to pay.Be interesting to see if Dortmund are ridiculed for spending £30m on a 16 year old, as we were.
It'll also be interesting if the same people who were having a go at the club on here for going after him at that price will also have a go at the club for 'missing out' on him.
If he was cheap he'd be a great third option. Don't see the problem with that. We desperately need a striker for next season.Why are people currently fine with the possibility of signing Ighalo? He's proven nothing so far! He's scored one goal, pushing 30 and isn't exactly a top-drawer striker in general - surely we can do better than that in the summer? If he springs into life, fine, I'll take it back but why are some posters naming him on current form as a summer signing?! Because he supports United? Christ almighty.
If we were to sign Sancho and Grealish, wow, that'd be a quality summer with a CDM as well.
Ighalo was a stop gap when there are no other options on the market. He clearly isn't good enough long term. He's missed two sitters already. We should be looking for better options to bench Martial.Sign Jadon and Jack. Extend Matic’s contract with a year. Sign Ighalo. Sell Pogba.
Done.
If you are referring to the Everton chance as a sitter I think you're being harsh, Pickford for all his faults pulled off an incredible save for that one.Ighalo was a stop gap when there are no other options on the market. He clearly isn't good enough long term. He's missed two sitters already. We should be looking for better options to bench Martial.
Quite surprised people don't recognize Brendan's initials.Bollocks Reporting
Translation would be: he’s obviously going to Dortmund but it’s not announced yet, so I’ll mention United to get some traffic before it’s confirmedTweet

Think we will go in when BVB drops out of the ECL, which could happen next week.Do it before the Euros you wankers.
Because he'd be a decent back up striker, which is what we need.Why are people currently fine with the possibility of signing Ighalo? He's proven nothing so far!

Exactly not every signing has to cost £50m plus. He’s a United fan, happy to sit in the bench for cup games.I would happily take Ighalo on a free on a 2 year deal. We need options as our first team is made of glass
If he bangs in the winner against the bluenose cheats, he can have the freedom of the cityIghalo now has 3 goals for the club. Allowed us to rest our starting striker. Has already more than done his job
I like your styleIf he bangs in the winner against the bluenose cheats, he can have the freedom of the city

Interesting, I'm sure it's agent driven more than the player himself because he won't get a better club than Chelsea and will be nothing more than a squad player next season as wellTweet

£180pw is a bit cheap in the age of a PL footballer.CHO on £180 is excessive.
Not surprising after the contract they gave to CHO. Other attacking players who are regulars will be looking to seek parity (at minimum) with that.Tweet

German media may have jumped the gun on this one. I'm hoping they have..Thought he was basically confirmed at Dortmund, would take him at United no doubt and keeps that youth rebuild ticking over
I think it is pretty normal to go visit those clubs that have an interest in you and then see what they have to offer you. Might just be what they are doing and then make a decision after.Thought he was basically confirmed at Dortmund, would take him at United no doubt and keeps that youth rebuild ticking over
All AMs? We do need a DM as well I’d sayGrealish, Sancho and Bellingham signed before the summer please
DM signed during the summer, no worries. Maybe a cheeky little striker too.All AMs? We do need a DM as well I’d say
