Rhys Healey

If Healey is an out n out striker, not a bleeding target man, that's the last thing we need let alone want,  then get him, he's scored goals, still young and has a point to prove which should make hungry to score more....should he be in an LJL mould, forget it, it'll just be another..macca banging it out to the flank and hoping he can knock down or onto one of our players...

Anyway, is Healey coming or what?

I doubt it very much.

After following Town for over 63 years my experience tells me,

We only sign a player before any news of him comes out,

The more time goes on and we read that we are interested in x y or z,

The less likely we are to sign them.

We will sign somebody soon but it will not be a name we have been talking about for weeks.

I liked Amond as a player, I really did. Used movement and intelligence (not to mention clever nudges on defenders) to find space for his chances. I'd be happy enough if he was with us now as his record over the past couple of seasons shows he's likely get into the early teens goals-wise if played regularly in the League.

However, he wasn't a target man in any way, shape or form. Newport play him off a bigger striker, so did Hartlepool and so did we. The 'target man' I'm talking about is a physical presence who can shake up opposition defenders when the ball invariably breaks loose or loops up into the air, whose strength makes them the focal point of the attack and creates space for more clever players such as Amond. Not necessarily somebody to lump the ball to aerially because it is rare for big defenders to lose too many headers. It's just more difficult to tackle or manhandle somebody who isn't several inches shorter and a couple of stone lighter than yourself.

I don't think many teams at our level are skilful enough to play without a more 'physical' player or two in attack. If you're going to be short or slight, you've got to be quick and skilful, not to mention accurate with your passing. You only need to see how many counter-attacking chances we butcher through poor decision-making and passing to see we're unlikely to manage this with our current squad. Hence the need for a stronger player up front.

I`m thinking the same as Pete, if Healey was a serious option it seems dead in the water, we will have to settle with What, whoever he is

But Where will we play What?

Update.
On players leaving on loan

NEIL WARNOCK:

"That’ll be decided before the end of the month. I’ve let certain players speak to clubs. One of the clubs wanted a player on loan to be on the bench tomorrow. I don’t know if that will come off but nobody’s going for definite yet."


Warnock on loan exits

Quoted from The Singing Fisherman

Yeah he only scored 20 goals in one season but suppose he did miss about 40. UTM

He can’t have scored 20 in one season.

As far as I aware no one has ever run round BP with a sausage up their bottom 😉

According to this article today, he appears to be heading to MK on loan until January >> http://www.insidewalessport.co.uk/cardiff-city-striker-healey-mk-dons/
