David Healy

[severnside gull]

can't see him dropping down 2 divisions tbh

In fairness he wouldn't be. He is currently a reserve team player with not a cat in hell's chance of getting a Premiership game.

Clearly totally unfit (or at best off the pace) as otherwise he would be a shoe-in for the Northern Ireland team. If he did come there would be work to do before he was ready for the first team.

That said he should score goals at this level - 30 games at 1 in 3 (says he in hope) would be very useful.

If Healy came to Brighton, the rest of the season would be nothing more than a formality.

 

[Silent Bob]

Leeds fans were always frustrated that he seemed a different player in a Northern Ireland shirt than theirs.

But still, if he wants it, he should score for fun at this level.

Have we ever had a player that's score an international hat-trick?

 

[footychick]

we do have a link with Sunderland after the summer in Portugal too... so could be true...?

Good point

I just asked my Sunderland-supporting mate about this. His response was "Fantastic signing- for us. Get the lazy fucker out. He'd rather train with our under-18's and just collect his pay cheque than he would put in the work to get back in the first team. Good riddance".

Interesting.

Step forward Mark McCammon. Hatrick for Barbados, although unsure as to whether it was before, during or after his spell here.

Healy has scored two international hattricks - can the trolley match that?

 

[Mackenzie]

I think that I'll reserve judgement until he signs and is match fit.

 

[Caveman]

Being top and a new stadium next season will have its appeal. Lets hope this comes off.

In Gus we LOVE!

ChronicleLive - Sport - Sunderland AFC - SAFC Latest News - Doncaster Rovers want David Healy on loan

This suggests that subsidising his 20,ooo a week salary would be part of the deal.

Not for us then.

Wow, ok- well clearly f*** that.

Subsidise. Not pay all of!

We could have a chance here, Healy was at Leeds at the same time as Poyet.

We managed to get Savage down here, so why not?

same here ! The first ever game i attended

 

[Sheebo]

I often expect things like the Mirror to be utter bollox but surely there's some form of truth in the rumour or it will be completely random...?!

Why?

Gus is the main draw for these people and the fact that we are now top, so in the news more often.

New stadium won't have any effect on a loan player will it?

I thought you were Mr. Language Teacher or something?

"Whoever Healy joins, Sunderland will have to subsidise his £20,000-a-week wages, which are beyond all but the top clubs in the Championship."

Whoever he goes to WON'T be paying his full wages.

Subsidising even half of that is ridiculous at our level.

It's interesting that Gus is rumoured to be trying to sign Healy. He may not be Premiership Class but he'd do well at this level. People have moaned that not enough has been done to sign a name striker but I think this shows just how difficult it is.
