Is there no situation with Ighalo flying out of China right now with everything going on there?

£190,000 a week is what I've read, seems "low" by Chinese Super League standards

I think China has done lot to reduce the outrageous stage they went through.

They introduced a wage cap of 49k per week I believe and an overall cap as well.

Some players obviously got in before the crash ie Oscar, Ighalo on 190k a week is still a crazy amount considering his skill level.

China bubble has definitely burst though for clubs/players worldwide who used it as a dumping ground.

Well I'm not trying to wind up anyone but if it winds you up then nothing I can do about it.

He is a good shot stopper for sure but lack confidence in commanding his area and control the defense in front of him. You look at his face sometimes and its like face of virgin gonna lose the virginity with porn star he is so scared. His distribution is also barely better than from Cech imo.

But I give you that he has improved since he came here. Maybe he can improve more!

Not wound up here bud.
T'was rhetorical

Like the look of Bowen, Vardy-lite.

Shame he opted to join the black hole that is West Ham, he would've thrived under Woy.

Same thing as (i think it's) Jim White saying "It's live" or Bruce Buffer saying "lets get ready to rumble". Catchphrase that becomes their trademark.
