Interesting signing.

The thing about Healy at Fulham was that he was really their only fit out and out striker for most of the season from what I can recall - the real striker McBride only got fit later. He's not a lone frontman. Were he to play off Kenwyn Jones maybe that might suit him.


Donagh

Jones is back in training and should be playing again by October. With him and Cisse up front, a fit Richardson and Reid around the middle, and Ferdinand at the back if they get him, I'd fancy Sunderland to go on a good run this year. As for Healy, I think they only paid a million or so for him so he'll be cover for the others but he's an honest player, Keanes type of man so he'll get the best out of him.

Healy is shit in club football consistently, no power, no strength, feck all pace, cant hold the ball up and cant make chances for himself. He is a bad buy just another one to add to keanes list.

He was useless for leeds. Pushed off the ball far too easy. The way north eire play suits him but club football doesnt simple as that.

I would not care less if he was a sub in the Wyman league, if he banged in all those goals for the Republics team, I would be very pleased with him.
