Is David Healy a world-beater...?

[Shaggy]

If he was that good he wouldn't be a reserve for the worst team in the Championship and about to go crashing into League One.

[Marky]

Well whatever Shaggy but to score as many goals as he has done for a wee country like Northern Ireland against massive names like England, Spain and Sweden is just a little bit special.

That logic only goes so far.

Managers have favourites and sometimes it doesn't work at some clubs (coaching infastructure etc). And come on 'Dennis Wise' a ****ing oxymoron right there!

He did rescue a point in Leed's last game (albeit coming on in the last ten minutes ).

[thesilverfoxlfc]

He is **** and a Manure reject who resides in the Championship plodding along from club to club. He is no where near World beater and has scored international goals agains mostly **** teams

[Marky]

Bet you'd happily take him for the ROI though.

[Shaggy]

He'll probably move to a higher placed club than Leeds after his recent international exploits - you never know, he might do a Gary Breen and con some European giants into looking at him based on some international performances.

Wise isn't picking him, but I'm not sure if Blackwell did either? Dunno, but I do know he's only got 7 or 8 goals in a crap league.

I'll revitalise this thread a year on...

I'll get the humble pie on slow heat.

What a truly bizarre statement.
Yeah England, Spain and Sweden are all ****e.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Well said Shaggy

[Shaggy]

Nope Happy with Doyle far far far better player

Doyle is better than Healy. A cursory glance at the respective top goalscorer charts goes most of the way to justifying that.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

They are. England, as everyone is so quick to point out, are ****e. Spain are absolutely ****e too, and Sweden are worse.

So yeah, they're all ****e!

At International Level, i don't think so somehow.
Don't get me wrong i rate Kevin Doyle quite hghly in fact but are you telling me you wouldn't have David Healy in your starting line up for the ROI?
FCUK ME SIDEWAYS(not literally obv)

Whether he is or not...

*cough* When was the last time you watched Healy for 90 mins/a full game? *cough*

Classic example of newspaper/OPTA/Champie 'matter of fact' assessment of a player.
