I think Watford know they would struggle to replace him because they can't attract players of profile. And with the new TV deal kicking in now, they don't need to sell. I may be wrong, but for me this is Watford acknowledging that what they have in Ighalo is fully good enough and they're sticking rather than twisting, and short of a properly bonkers bid they're keeping their own. £37.5m IS a properly bonkers bid for Ighalo. I'm amazed they've turned that down - absolutely amazed. But yes, probably TV money meaning they simply don't need the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As some on here have already mentioned, Ighalo isn't all that great. If Watford were to sell him and reinvest that money they would have even more Success.

They probably think they can squeeze more out of the Chinese team, since they have stupid amounts of money. Ighalo is just a decent striker and nothing more, only once in his career has he has scored more than 10 goals in a top flight league. Hardly worth £20m let alone close to £40m.

Sad fact is Palace are now one of the richest clubs in Europe and obviously based in London. They can attract some quality there if they wish.

VillaChris Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Celtic isn't that bad a club to develop in fairness....they picked up likes of Wanyama, Hooper, Ki and Kayal when they were nobodies and all got decent moves off the back of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
