:cool: (Though I'd rather see Roy or Mick come in for him!)

Could happen, Keane signed him at Sunderland when he took over, Connolly was in the Premier League with Wigan at the time.
Definitely will score in the Championship.

I don't think so, to be honest I think they had a bust up at Sunderland. Otherwise you'd have to guess Keane would have actually given him a chance when they got promoted or signed him when he moved to Ipswich and Connolly was a free agent (or at least had him on trial). He did well this year and had 7 goals in 23 games (and only 11 starts) but again was plagued by his groin injury. I've always maintained that as his game isn't built on pace or power but technical ability that he could continue playing at a good level until his late thirties, but honestly I think one more groin injury and it may be curtains :(

Sheffield Wednesday sign striker Paul Heffernan


http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/47416000/jpg/_47416041_heffernan.jpg Heffernan helped Doncaster win promotion from League One in 2008

Sheffield Wednesday have signed striker Paul Heffernan on a two-year contract, following his release by Doncaster. The 28-year-old is manager Alan Irvine's third signing in as many days, following deals for midfielder Chris Sedgwick and defender Jon Ostemobor.
Heffernan told BBC Radio Sheffield: "It's been a bit stressful the last few weeks trying to get things sorted.
"There's a lot of people out of contract. I'm just delighted to get it sorted and I'm raring to go."
The Irishman joined Doncaster in 2005 but went out on loan last season to Oldham and Bristol Rovers, who had been confident of signing him on a permanent basis.
Heffernan scored 53 goals in 160 appearances for Rovers.

Is there any truth that Michael Collins has signed for a 2nd Division club in Cyprus? I can't find the name but I think it's the one with Stephen something as manager.

Thanks Dunny, has Collins signed for them? Looks like it'll be a god move for him - burn off some weight in the heat :-)

His sister plays for the under 17s so I guess he qualifies.
