Ighalo Vs Weghorst

Ighao is the better striker, Weghorst is the better system player.

Ighalo started good and then flopped. Maybe with Wout will be opposite

He didn't flop at all - Ole barely gave him a chance to play despite scoring several

Far better than Weghorst as a goalscorer - Wout does the hard work but seriously lacking in quality
 
Ehh? Ighalo was actually a goal threat and scored regularly in the cups. Weghorst is wank upfront but works hard.
 
Way too early to say yet.

Ighalo was quite good for the first two months or so when he first joined. Better than Wout has been so far. However lockdown completely destroyed Ighalo's momentum, and he was poor to downright terrible after that. Wout's workrate and movement puts him above Ighalo post-lockdown IMO.
 
Weghorst isn’t even a striker now imo. He’s more of a Mount. He’s doing the work of two men allowing Rashford to coast through game
 
Weghorst is the definition of a big lump but somehow he is also shit in the air. I find it hard to believe that we didn’t have some academy player that wasn’t better than him.

I think it's really harsh on Elanga, personally. I don't rate him particularly but he's better than what we've seen from Weghorst. Maybe he's not putting in the effort in training, I don't know.

Yep, I agree that Elanga is better and I do not rate him at all.
 
Hard to compare.

Ighalo mostly played in the smaller competitions and was mostly here in his first season so that Martial didn't have to risk an injury.

He looked a lot better than Weghorst for the most part but if he played in the Premier League more who knows.
 
I wouldn't swap Weghorst for Igahlo. Neither is good enough to be a major attacking threat so I'm more concerned with what they give to the team.
 
Lockdown didn’t suit Ighalo that’s all I remember

I actually like Weghorst , his work rate is excellent , deserved a goal today .
 
Some really harsh comments here. Both were emergency loans who have done a required job. Igalho was fine in his first few months here and then was no longer needed. Wout will probably be the same.
 
Weg isn’t the best finisher…but his work rate and passing are very good. He’s more valuable in general, but when you factor in the actual team around him, he’s immensely more valuable.
 
The better question is... Weghorst or this season Ronaldo? And Weghorst shits all over that one which is good enough for me.
 
The only reason Weghorst isn't world class is because of the ball. If football was played without a ball he would be fecking amazing.
 
Wout is probably better, does everything but finish. I feel like we've had to over utilise him as Martial is never fit. To me it seems like he's a little in his head in terms of finishing too, had he scored today and against Barca with those chances this thread wouldn't have been made. Saying all that I hope we don't sign him permanently, we desperately need finishers in this squad.
 
Weghorst is underrated - he had the assist for Garnachos goal against Leeds - he should have had another assist today when Sancho missed alone with the keeper. His defensive workrate today was superb!
He doesn't score enough and will never be good enough to start regularly - but when people say that he contributes nothing, they are clueless.

Weghorst is easily in the top 5 worst players I've ever seen play for United. He has absolutely nothing going for him at this level. At the very least you'd expect him to be strong and good in the air but from what I've seen he's easily put off his balance and loses the vast majority of aerial duels, even against much smaller players.

I mean, this is a player that championship side Burnley decided they could do without and it's clear to see why.

Unless you've not seen many United games, this is a bit silly,
We've had 100s of you teamers who've played a a game or 5 and been bombed down to the lower leagues. They're not worse than him.

He’s in interesting player. He contributes in ways you wouldn’t expect based on what he looks like and doesn’t contribute in the ways you would expect. Played well today though. On another day he’d have scored a goal or two and his all round contribution was very good.

Bellion, Diouf, Manucho spring to mind
