David Healy?

[Jazzmaster]

See the football forum and the various Healy-worshipping threads for my opinion on this journeyman.

He's scored 27 goals in 105 appearances for ****ty Leeds, 2 in 13 at Norwich, 43 in 136 games for Preston, 3 in 16 for Port Vale and he was booted out by the Scum having played one game.

He's ****e and he's having an extended moment in the sun at international level. He was last seen at club level coming on as an 82nd min sub at Southend. He did score the equaliser like, but no way on God's green earth is Healy good enough for us.

So we're signing him then yeah?

Dennis says Healy always "only manages to hit the post, the bar or miss completely for us"

Dennis Healy?

It's rather churlish to dismiss his international scoring record which is extremely impressive; especially when you consider he plays for a Northern Ireland team that once went 16 games without scoring.

He is certainly not consistent enough to play for Liverpool but that record compares very favourably to others:


David Healy - 55 (29)
Michael Owen - 80 (36)
Wayne Rooney - 38 (12)
Robbie Folwer - 26 (7)
Kenny Miller - 29 (9)
Milan Baros - 52 (30)
Fernando Torres - 40 (14)
Niall Quinn - 92 (21)

Archie Thompson - 18 (21)

Baros has a better record.

And he shouldn’t play for us either.

Kenny Miller is better for scotalnd than rangers, so is healy

I disagree he's any good for Scotland.

Did you see the game against Georgia. ****ing gash.

Can't remember Sir David missing an open goal.

[JohnnyLambert]

healy is better than Fowler imho

Have a day off

Well spotted

Czechs are a little bit better than Norn Iron to be fair.

Good man management there

[dirty_sanchez]

But Baros could have been effective for us if he hadn't been such a gob****e and if he'd had a decent strike partner.

Got one but it took a while

[DeeTheDog]

Pick the forward you would most like to see at Liverpool and compare international records, Healy is a different beast altogether on the international stage.

They are, which means Baros’ record is all the more impressive than Healy’s. Of course, it means that much of their football has been played in major Championships and Baros has scored a good few goals at that level. Healy has only ever played in qualifiers - against mainly wank teams.
