    Every window he gets linked by someone saying he is coming back to the Prem.

    Nice chap. Confidence player and a one trick pony that got found out.
    If he was consistent he'd be out of our price range. I actually think a step down to championship or even Scottish football for a season might help him step back up to the prem. I think we've progressed.

    I think this time he actually might be. Is definitely in the country and has been in the SSN studio twice. Wouldn't be surprised if he cropped up on Soccer AM or Goals on Sunday - its all self promotion to say he's here and ready.

    His club in China got relegated despite him being second top scorer over the season. We know money isn't his main focus due to his charity donations etc. so wages won't be an issue for whoever wants him. In theory, I wouldn't be against us cutting our losses on Gray and bringing Ighalo back in.

    He's regained his goal-scoring confidence so could be worth a poke for 6 months until he loses it again.

    Sign him on loan with a view to buy, he bangs in 12 goals between now and May, we finish 7th and win the FA Cup, do NOT take the option to buy.

    Everyone wins.

    Let's not forget though, that however successful they were together at one time (and the media certainly built that up), it was always fairly apparent that Deeney didn't enjoy playing with Ighalo due to his nature of not passing or often choosing the wrong option. We already have that with Deulofeu....

    I'd be happy with this on a Cash-For-Goles arrangement.

    Only one of the strikers we had on the books 3 years ago is still being courted by Premiership clubs and it ain’t the one who is still here.

    Stick Ighalo, Delofeu and Penarenda together and no one would pass to each other

    Completed passes in the final third are notoriously difficult.

    Could be the way to go.

    Might have taken it seriously except for this:
    "Barcelona are reportedly considering a move for Ighalo as backup for their main striker Luis Suárez,"

    Trouble is he's got a name you could never make a song to so for that it's a no from me.

    I’m gonna predict it now. Come Feb 1st, Ighalo will be back as a Watford player.

    Not the first Hornet number 9 to return to the fold.

    My guess is he will go to Cardiff, seeing as they have sadly lost the guy they signed in that plane crash.

    Worth getting him back for his chant, sadly he probably wouldn't score so we couldn't use it.

    I’d like him to come back and score a lot , but suspect he either will come back and not score a lot of goals or go someone else and score a lot of goals

    Have a soft spot for him but would rather we signed someone more dpendable in front of goal

    Showed the finishing quality yesterday in the cup that would make him the perfect foil for Deulofeu

    Good luck to him. 36 in 55 is a decent record, even if it is against a load of Chinese players

    I feel sorry for Iggy.
    He clearly wanted a return to the PL but no one was keen.
    Good luck to him.

    Yeah it's pretty obvious from his Instagram that all his family are all still over here so it must be hard for him being away from them.

    Maybe he could have/of dropped his sights to the Champo if he was desperate to return to England.

    Certainly 'have'!
    Perhaps but not sure how he'd feel about Millwall or such like?
