‘Ighalo Unreliable, Not The Kind Of Player Newcastle Need’ –Ex-England International Warns

Former Three Lions of England goalkeeper Paul Robinson has claimed Newcastle United would be taking “a massive risk” by signing Odion Ighalo.

Speaking exclusively to Football Insider, Robinson, a former Tottenham Hotspur and Leeds United goalkeeper said Ighalo is “unreliable” and urged the Magpies to look elsewhere.

According to Sky Sports (24 December), Ighalo, who currently plays for Saudi Arabia outfit Al Shabab, is one of a number of strikers being considered by Newcastle’s recruitment team this month.

It is said that the former Manchester United and Watford striker would seriously consider a move to St. James’ Park.

Eddie Howe’s side are currently without their top goalscorer Callum Wilson after he suffered an injury in the 1-1 draw against Manchester United last month.

When asked by Football Insider for his assessment of Ighalo’s credentials, Robinson said: “I think he’d be a massive risk.

“He is unreliable and I don’t think Newcastle are in a position where they can take risks.

“Financially, they are in a position where they can go and get a top quality striker who is less of a risk than he is.

“It’s definitely a position they need to address though given that Wilson is out. To stay up they’ll need a striker to be scoring regularly.

“I just don’t think Ighalo is the player they are looking for.”

Ighalo has scored 11 goals in 15 appearances across all competitions this season.

He has 18 months left on his contract with Al Shabab.

Very right

E Dun Be

Lol. If they get him for free, I think he is a good buy just for a short period. But they shouldn't try buying him, baba Don old

Player dey and player dey again.

Ighalo can only perform to his standards, if they need a top class striker they should opt for halland.

Rubbish talk

This ighalo name don too suffer from media jabs.

True talk

Score great goal today, miss sitters in the next crucial game.

Na him way

People will scream racism but it's very true. Ighalo should not even be in our national team

Chai

Error prone Robinson that year.

Ighalo is a scoring machine.

Ok so u say



Untill you play him at the right position and he does not deliver then how believe is not good

aloku Soldier

Na enyimba suppose buy am

See Robinson ooo...

person wey no sabi anytin at all !


Robinson was neva reliable in his career

Your Father naim no dey reliable. Person wey dey bang goals steady for al shabab. Joalinton wey dem buy £40m, how many goals im don score for Newcastle. Na midfield im dey play now sef. If na English player now, na so dem go dey hype am. Make dem kuku re-sign Andy Carroll na. Bastard people.

Imagine Robinson dey envy Ighalo

Robinson wasn't as reliable as Ighalo when he was a player.

Ighalo starboy ...

Is Jude still married to his wifey or still divorce and single?

Truth is bitter but better.

Sometimes you have to leave the person you love, and find someone who loves you

Inasmuch as he is a little bit correct, he should not forget in a hurry that he was a flop keeper that was full of errors

Very good for the Greedy Ighalo.

That's why this Life, you can't eat your cake and have it!

Was playing for Watford and was EPL's best striker, aside Jamie Vardy of Leicester in 2015/2016!
Due to Greed for Quick and easy wealth, decided to run to China..

Now, After playing in Chinese, came to Man u but Red Devils fans were not convinced on his abilities!
Everyone thinks he is not good enough now!

Ighalo done dey old and he scores sporadically but so do most strikers. I think he has scored 11 goals in 15 games. That's not a bad record. So they could sign him but put a clause that he must score in every other game in his contract.

Word

Make everybody hustle o

Ighalo dey hustle to go back to EPL (Premier league)
Reason he wants to be featured for the Super Eagles

Ighalo I know.

Simply simple

vincentjk:
Player dey and player dey again.

Ighalo can only perform to his standards, if they need a top class striker they should opt for halland.

If you be Halland, you go gree play for Newcastle?
