David Healy: Complete speculation on a transfer target (if no likey, no clicky!)

[dingobruce]

Following on from Gus' post match comments about bringing in another player that could be possible captain material, and also being continually linked with a "Premiership striker" does anyone think David Healy of Sunderland could fit the bill?

Now there aren't many experienced strikers kicking around in Premier League reserve sides, infact he's the only one I came across on my little hunt...

He spent the second half of last season on loan in the Championship, but didn't set it alight with 1 goal in 12 appearances. My point being that perhaps this may put of Championship clubs considering him as an option this season...

He is experienced, and could be considered captain material by Gus, has captained Northern Ireland before...

He played the 2006/07 at Leeds with Gus, and was Leeds' top scorer that season...

Obviously there has been some contact between Albion and Sunderland during the summer...

He is Gus' kind of player...

His contract is up at the end of next season so if his loan was successful he could join permenantly on a free next summer


Complete speculation

would be nice

Another name to add to the 50 that have been suggested so far during this summer but would be a good signing for us.

No Chance!

Would be amazing though!

Would be amazing though!

Just out of interest, why do you say no chance? He's rotting in the reserves there and League 1/Low end Championship is clearly his standard

And still wouldnt be the '25 goal a season ' striker we need.

Lets all get a reality check here..... there isnt a 25 goal a season striker out there who will play in Div 1

 

[sam86]

Good bit of research there sir.

 

[Northstander]

Wages would be the barrier!

 

[Bob!]

I like the way you're thinking!

 

[dingobruce]

Wages would be the barrier!

But he's clearly unwanted at Sunderland, so even paying just say 25% of his wages of (20k per week?) or whatever, would be a good bit of business for Sunderland and for us. It's not as if we have to pay 100% of his wages...

 

[vulture]

and he would of seen how good we would be with him in the team.As he saw us play.

 

[dingobruce]

Don't think he was in Portugal, otherwise surely he'd have broken into Gus garage and stowed away in the Gus bus already...

 

[BensGrandad]

He certainly fits the bill of experienced striker with a premiership club perhaps a deal was done over a bottle of Mateus Rose in Portugal.

and so ...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

 

[Northstander]

What about Ryan Babel at Liverpool, he isn't getting games either?

 

[Frutos]

Not the first time I've heard his name mentioned in connection with our 'vacancy', oddly enough.

I suspect it's unlikely, but I certainly wouldn't be complaining if it proved to be accurate.

I heard we are looking at young under 23 russian Onyerback ubitch

who does he play for?

 

[vulture]

who does he play for?

Russian Divison 2 side Wizardapostalot

 

[BensGrandad]

Silly as it may sound I think that David Healy sounds a good possibility as he is not going to be in much demand by any clubs much higher than us so if we pay some of his wages, like Portsmouth did when they got promoted to the Prem, then everybody wins.
