    A thread to remember the mercurial striker, who without doubt hit a great scoring spree with us.

    He was fundamental for the promotion season and keeping us in the Prem the first time round! <applause>

    Good luck to him in China!

    This interview is on SSN. Don't think I've ever heard such great words from a departing player. Thanking the fans, apologising for the goals drying up, Watford fans will always be in his heart. Great words. Thanks for the memories Iggy, and good luck from your Watford family.

    A great man..... Gave us some great moments, always humble and God respecting, left a decent bit of cash in the club so even on leaving enables us to build... thanks Iggy..

    Only just realised really as we become so used to this Premier League money, but this fee has smashed our highest ever - £9m?

    Very good point. I wonder who was the better value - Iggy or Ashley?

    If the club didn't give Sam permission he is in trouble, but my guess is that they wanted him out and would have allowed it. But who knows apart from inside the club.

    I am guessing hell of a lot more than Watford were, especially to live "just" north of North Korea....

    Finished quite low in the table last season (12th) - is this the side that made the bid last summer as well?

    Allnigeriasoccer.com understands Odion Ighalo will jet off to China on Saturday, February 4 to join his new team Changchun Yatai.

    The former Watford star has already appended his signature to a 4+1 year contract with Changchun Yatai after passing a clinical examination conducted in London on Monday.Ighalo has now become the highest paid Nigerian professional footballer, with guaranteed wages of more than 200,000 pounds per week, which is more than 10 million pounds per season (equivalent of $12.5 million every year).
