Legend
That’s my nearest Odeon
How much we paying him?
If he can get fit, I think he may surprise a few people
Does it really matter?
Never really understood fans fascination with player wages to be honest.
More of a meh kinda feeling
*hypothetical* Oh they’re paying Ronaldo £900,00 a week? Ah cool.
Geezer’s a gunslinger, that’s why
No offence to Ighalo but getting really sick of the articles stuffed down the fans throat about his passion, effort, etc. It was good at first but now at least for me it is counterproductive. Everything we hear about our players from official sources and Ole is effort and passion. What about quality?
Again, this is not offence towards Ighalo. Happy for him and hope he does well, for his and our sake. But the club is milking it and at least I am fed up with it.

Perhaps the club should apologise for being positive
Does it bother you how much Sanchez is paid?
of course it matters. Team morale, return in investment.
how happy would you be if Jones was being paid the same as Rashford?
Stop reading the articles?
8 pages of discussion about his performances for us already! Wow.
You certainly can’t hate his commitment to united he seems like he’d run through a brick wall for united considering how much he loves the club.
Could go either way in terms of how effective he is for us but I’m looking forward to seeing him in action. I hope he can fill his dreams while here.

Who’s the trainer?!looks ex military
Turning him into Kilghalo?
I’m calling it now. Think we’ll give him a short term deal in the summer. Think he’ll impress enough to be our back up striker for the next year or two.
As I mentioned somewhere, we are paying Sanchez £60-80m in wages over his contract. Because of that we can NOT buy 1-2 very good players who could actually do a job. You see, when money is spent on one thing (in this case pouring it down the drain), then it cannot be spent on something else. Simple logic, really. And that's the reason why we care about how the club spend money. Spend it badly on something, and we can't spend it well on something else.
Personally I think people are blowing it up quite a bit. We signed him for next to nothing, so the money saved there went into his salary, which is why it's high.
Only thing is probably how other players perceive it. Don't think a teammate's salary should make you unhappy or envious - not sure the players agree, but with the wages they are paid, they have money to live off for the rest of their lives and should by default be kind of thankful for just that.
Anyone else getting the feeling he'll score a couple of important goals and become a cult hero?
As always expectations are high here.
If he wasn’t good in the Chinese league why would he be good here?
Maybe because he was...
He was good in China, have you seen his stats?
But that's obviously no comparison to the PL - had 2 good seasons and 1 crap one at Watford though
That would be great.
He was 23rd in the goalscorers chart with 2 more goals than Fellaini
https://www.espn.com/soccer/stats/_/league/CHN.1/season/2019/view/scoring/chinese-super-league
Maybe because he played fewer games than pretty much everyone above him for in a team that came two positions above relegation?
In my opinion I don't think we can really look at his stats in China anyway because the quality is well well below the prem, however there have been quite a few people in this thread using his stats to put him down without looking at the wider context i.e. games played and quality of his team.
The season prior when he played every game he was second in the goalscorers chart.
So he played a few games in one of the crappier teams of the Chinese league yet he is going to be good in the premier league. I wouldnt even be convinced if we had got the top scorer from the best team in that league.
He could be a classic case of a late bloomer.
Or he could be a total flop.
Either way, I can't wait to see him playing. He represents all of us abroad, a fan with a dream to play for United.

Ive always had a dream to play for United doesnt mean I should. Ole probably always dreamed of managing United and look how that went.
Ibrahimovic came from USA straight to Seria A and is doing well. I don't know quite how USA compares to China but I imagine the level is similar.
Ighalo is probably not playing to his fullest potential there, he's just taking the money and having fun. At United he's going to be giving 110% effort, and he knows what it takes to play at this level already.
I bet @UnofficialDevil is fun at parties

He has a goal rate of 0.63 goals per game in China.
His stats there dont say much about what he could do here but to suggest his goal record in China isnt good is just incorrect.
This is the caf, bro. 3 goals per game or you're worthless.
I always find it funny when someone makes a statement, which gets refuted, and then they just make a completely different point.
At no point did I say he would perform well, more that your cherry picking of stats was entirely misrepresentative of his time in China.
Beyond ridiculous that we got ourselves in a situation where we needed to get a player on loan from the Chinese league, and waited until fecking deadline day to bother sorting it out (seriously think Woodward might just have what himself at the idea of a mass walkout on live tv as otherwise it makes no sense timing wise).
I do really hope he does well though. Even if not, I'd rather watch someone try and give their all, who's willing to take a pay cut just to be here, than watch someone like Sanchez mope about despite being the highest paid man in the world.

Not because of the fake age African stereotype but his face looks a lot older than 30.
