Thishe's not a great player, but he certainly scores the goals others in our team can't. He's what we've been after
Appreciate your enthusiasm, but if you could provide an example of where he stuck his head in where it hurts it would be appreciated?It’s refreshing to see a real target man up there, someone who will always be in the box and is willing to put his head where it hurts. I had my reservations about him but I have been impressed so far - he still lacks real match sharpness but can’t argue with his goal return so far.
Well I was speaking more generally as he is that target man we have been lacking. Putting your head where it hurts can be defined a number of ways - holding the ball up and backing into the defender where you might get your head knocked. Getting in the box in areas where you can head the ball. Don’t look too much into it.Appreciate your enthusiasm, but if you could provide an example of where he stuck his head in where it hurts it would be appreciated?
He is far from an Andy Gray was my point and is not noted for headed goals so I don't have much expectancy of him in this areaWell I was speaking more generally as he is that target man we have been lacking.

Oh don’t get my wrong he was lethal at times but his first touch just infuriated me but Ighalo looks like he’s got some pretty assured hold up play.
no proof Ighalo isn't as lethal as Lukaku yet.
He's probably not even match fot yet.
I know this, I'd rather Ighalo at the club than Lukaku
Or a corner for the oppositionLukaku wouldn’t have scored a goal like Ighalo last night, his first touch would have probably knocked it out for a goal kick.
I think it was the game against Wolves at OT when he tried to trap the ball and it burst, panning in all the windows of Manchester Cathedral.Only a 10 year career across various clubs in Europe to judge him by?
Lukaku is one of the top 10 number 9's in world football that's why we could get 70m when we decided to sell him Ighalo is a bit of a journeyman who's providing to be a useful stop gap.
I think the thing that killed Lukaku at Utd was his bad start to the second season once the fans turned on him he lost all confidence and had to go. I have no regrets over letting him go but Ighalo isn't a proper replacement but he's doing the job we need him to do.
Ighalo's Chinese club have offered him a 2 year contract extension worth 400k a week
Must be a reasonable guess that if we were considering offering him a permanent deal we would not be able find the right commercial deal
