You'd think that if you just read the headline, but the article seems to say that he may make an approach.

Sounds like he is trying to get him to me:
"It's a great shout. I absolutely love him as a player and a person and I have a great relationship with him. Is this going to make us get in touch with Sunderland or David? I don't know, I hope so, but he wasn't in our plans.
"With all respect to him, we have got another ten or 15 names. We have gone through all the names of players not playing in the Premiership where you think you won't have a chance, then you go down to the Championship and then you try to find out.
"We are trying to find out in a very respectful way, talking to the club first to see if it is an option, then talking to the player. This one has come out of the blue and everybody is calling me.
"Even people from Leeds are saying to take him and I am thinking wait, I haven't moved for him. We'll see, I would love to, no doubt."

"I was in the dressing room yesterday at Withdean and Gordon Greer had a newspaper and said I was in there. I thought what have I done and then saw the situation with David.

I really don't think we will get Healy down here, but would love to be proved wrong

Let's hope that's all he's learned from 'Arry.

I think its do-able on a short term loan or at Xmas for the remainder of the season.

I agree Giraffe - This quote contradicts itself in so many ways. If you read between the lines, the Third paragraph confirms that they've contacted Sunderland and that they've said yes and so they're having talks with Healy's agent.
I would say that knowing how Poyet has operated with Lua Lua, Barnes & Greer that we are very close in signing Healy.

really? i read it as they've been through a list of all likely players at Premiership clubs, ruled them out as unrealistic and is looking at players at the Championship clubs.
again, i read it differently. the part you highlight just says theres a proper way to approach clubs, and he has a list of players he is enquiring about. "This one has come out of the blue " seems to me that Healy isnt on that list. he denies any talks/approach for Healy 3 times.

Could be my suspicious nature, but considering the large amount of players we have been linked with, why only comment on this specific one...and officially too.
I have more belief in this story than I had, as I think it could happen

Spot on I would say. Suspect the clubs have agreed how much of the wage we are picking up and now it's just down to old Wheelie Healey

Hahaha I love Gus.
"However we need to respect the position of the players; David is in the Premiership; if we were interested, we cannot just expect him to come down two divisions and play for us because of me, because of the stadium, or because of our position in the table."
He may as well have just said *HINT HINT* after that last sentence, reeling off the positives of coming to play for Brighton.
