Oga! Ighalo scored double digit in the EPL and was the highest goal scorer in AFCON.

How many years ago did all these happened?

Suarez? Regardless of the coach he'll shine but Sturridge? Yes he played his best football under Rodgers
Suarez didn't score that much under Hodgson. He played better under Rodgers...

He scored double digits in the EPL, how many goals? 15 right? And Simy has scored 19 goals already. What does that tells you? There was nothing Ighalo did that even Simy hasn't done better in club football and won't do better at the NT.
And how many years did it took Ighalo before he achieve ANC top scorer? Not that he is a regular and prolific goal scorer. Or have you forgotten the 2018 WC and Ighalo performance? That should tell you his goalscoring at the last ANC was a fluke

The problem is that Nigerians like to dismiss their experienced players prematurely and after they have amassed multitude of experience for inexperienced players. By the time the new inexperienced players become experienced, they will request for another set of inexperienced players instead continuity, consistency. If I was a coach that has 2 options, talented youth or Proven Experienced, I will go for the latter because they have already shown capability of attaining what I am searching for at this time

Did you say at Ighalo’s best he is not better than the aforementioned players?

Ask yourself again after answering the question, is a second Division player better than an Epl player?

Have the aforementioned players scored 15 goals in arguably the best league in the world(epl ofcourse)?

The level that Sadiq is now is the level ighalo was 8 years ago at Grenada. Nigerians will ask for inexperienced Sadiq now and request to drop him 4 years later when he becomes Experienced.

Point of correction, the EPL isn't the best league in the world, it's not even the most competitive, it's just the most organized and has more viewers. Else how will you define Man City been a runaway leader in the EPL while same can't be said in Laliga.
Now to Ighalo top flight stats which you want to base your argument, Ighalo has scored 38 goals on 148 matches playing for Udinese in Seria A, Grenada in Laliga, Watford and Man I in the premier league. Ighalo highest goals return was in the Championship where he scored 20 goals playing for Watford, the next season in the premier league he scored 15 goals and after that he scored just a single goal for Watford, and he had to leave to China. Ighalo has scored about 140 career goals and most of these goals were scored playing in Norway, Udinese playing in Seria B, Grenada playing in Laliga 2, Watford playing in the Championship and obscure leagues playing in China and Saudi Arabia.
Ighalo scored just 4 league goals in Laliga 2 and Sadiq has scored about 16 in the same Laliga 2, Ighalo best season in top leagues football was scoring 15 for Watford, Simy has scored 19 for crotone. Ighalo played about 73 Laliga games for Watford and scored just 13 goals, that's about 1 goal in 5 matches and that's poor for a striker. He also played more than 55 matches for Watford in top flight EPL and scored 17 goals, that's also about 1 goal in 4 matches and that's also poor

Bro under normal circumstance if we didn't have quality strikers and Ighalo was playing regularly I wouldn't mind him coming back into the fold.

I remember Didier Deschamp calling a French striker (forgotten his name) from Mexico and Portugal calling a quarter to retire Quaresma from Turkish league so it's not exactly a new phenomenon.

Ighalo is not coming back,
Ighalo cannot agree to come back and sit on the bench for Osinhem and Iheanacho,
because not even Rorh will try to bench inform Osinhem and Iheanacho with d present Ighalo,even Onuachu.

I believe Rorh was just emphasizing the competitiveness of our strike force,
that's all.
Ighalo has retired ,he will not b recalled,
He is not zidan,he is not Ibra.
And age is not on his side.

I have always said it that Rohr is a mad man.

Talent wise, Ighalo at his best even isn't better than Sadiq and he is not a better finisher than Onuachu and Simy, I can't even mention Osimhen, Iheanacho and Moffi in the same sentence with Ighalo. So someone should please ask Rohr what he sees in Ighalo that no one else is seeing
Ighalo in his first season at Watford was better than Sadiq is now.

Did you say at Ighalo’s best he is not better than the aforementioned players?

Ask yourself again after answering the question, is a second Division player better than an Epl player?

Have the aforementioned players scored 15 goals in arguably the best league in the world(epl ofcourse)?

Only in your world was Ighalo's best days as good as, or even better than Simmy's. Simmy is the best Nigeria has ever had in a single season in any of the Europe's top five leagues since the Nigerian national team was formed. The other day you said that Ikpeba scored 26 in a single ligue1 season which was a total lie because Ikpeba's best for Monaco in the ligue1 was 14 goals scored in the 97/98 season.

Now back to Simmy and Ighalo;- Ighalo's best season for Granada was in the 11/12 laliga season where he scored 6goals in 29 matches and a total of 13 goals in 3Laliga seasons, compare that to Simmy's crazy stat this season alone. While playing in the segunda division, he could only score 4 goals in over 20 matches, compare that to Sadiq's crazy stats this season in the same league grin

In the championship, his best was 20 goals, same as Simmy's in the Serie B. In the EPL, his best was 16 while Simmy is already on 19 and counting this season alone, in the serie A. In fact, Ighalo could on score a total of 17goals in four seasons in the EPL, while Simmy already has 19 in a single serie A season. Do you want to know Simmy's total so far in the serie A? So tell me, how Ighalo is as good as Simmy. grin
