Fucking hell pal, if you’ve not heard of Ighalo you really haven’t paid any attention at all to English football,
38m is a ridiculous price for him though, he scored a lot of goals but Deeney was a bigger player for them.
some chineese crowd just gave Maccabi Tel Aviv 8 million euro for Eran Zahavi
he’s getting 12 million USD on a 2 year contract and a 20k USD goal bonus
now Zehavi is allright, he didnt set the world on fire at Palermo and came back to be the big fish in a small pond
he was on about 1 million USD/annum at Maccabi so this is some salary jump.
you take a player there, 29, captain of his country, clearly playing above the level of anyone domestically, has had interest from Bundesliga, Eredvisie… but this means having to actually prove himself, i suppose if ure offered 12 million ud be off too but surely a move to China is seen as a retirement option as in MLS or is this actually a serious gig, ive never heard of fellas been signed from China, its all one way…
