    Just looked up Changchun's league position, 12th out of 16th, hopefully they kick on a bit next season! I'm guessing there league runs within a calander year?

    Regret that he's probably double/tripled his wages? If he didn't care about football and playing to the best of his ability in the PL then he would have happily gone to China in the summer surely?

    I imagine his misery was compounded when he caught a glimpse of the climate in northern China

    He sounds slightly bitter that the club didn't sell him to a Prem side for several million less. Wot are we, a charity?

    He didn't have to go but he wouldn't have received a squad number and would have been dumped with the U23s, but then again the U23s aren't that desperate.

    For some reason I thought Ighalo was younger than 27. Makes us selling him even more of the right decision, for both us and him. His career will be over soon so a nice financial windfall will do him no harm.

    Just heard Butcher on 5L say Iggy was a disruptive influence.

    That's news to me.

    Unfair. The sub keeper hadn't played a first-team game before and had been told he was being released at the end of the season, so Sam gave him a moment of glory.

    2018. That's a lot of goals. You'd get good odds

    Class. He clearly was never fussed about the money, so it's good to see that when he has got it, he's put it towards something worthwhile.

    Well done Odion.
