He’s unreliable Paul Robinson kick against Newcastle signing of Ighalo

Former Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper, Paul Robinson has warned Newcastle United against signing Super Eagles striker, Odion Ighalo.

According to him, it is a massive risk for the relegation-battling club to sign Ighalo, who he described as an unreliable player.

Igalo, a former Watford and Manchester United striker has been heavily linked with a return to the Premier League and tipped to help Newcastle stave off relegation this season.

Robinson believes the Magpies would be taking a massive risk bringing the Nigeria international to King James’ Park this January transfer window.

“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,” he told Football Insider.

“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.”
