While I appreciate Ighalo would be an improvement on a non-existent Berahino, there's always a danger when it comes to attacking players that you're getting them just for the sake of getting them.  Making the mistake of thinking that any striker is better than no striker is how you end up with a forward line of Nicolas Anelka, Victor Anichebe, Matej Vydra, Markus Rosenberg and Thievy Bifouma.

Obviously if Ighalo comes then fair enough, I hope he'll do well, but centre-forward is one position where I'm sort of hoping we'll keep our powder dry and see if we can really steal a gem from somewhere.

...that's quite a list for the last few years, and suggests that finding a goal scorer - certainly for us! - is difficult; at least Ighalo has proved that he CAN cut it at this level, even if he has had a pretty barren 12 months or so
