Possibly has but he is still on the PFA list as being available. Some EL clubs could use some of these players.
Let's not forget Shamrock Rovers.
Healy would be some signing, have Sunderland released him? That suprises me.
There are alot more Irish lads on the list than that.
Eddie Mcintyre from Derry,Liam Burns from Belfast and Sean Cooney( I think he was born in OZ but played youth footy fro Ireland)
Still with Sunderland but they are looking to off-load him.Quote:

bad form from sunderland. poor lad broke his leg through an awful tackle (some would say assault) and then broke it again before new season started. thought the club would give him a chance and stand by him, at least to prove himself. great player and hopefully he can get back on track very soon.Quote:

Reckon he's way too high-profile to come to the eL at this stage without bankrupting a club.
Yeah i'd be very very suprised if he came back, I'm just amazed Sunderland are trying to off load him.
How many of those players would offer something to an eL club .... i mean i can help feeling that some of them are just over rated and might not contribute what some people might expect. Would they be value for money ??
And how many of them are to arrogant or even ignorant to 'settle' for eircom league football, most Irish who fail in England leave football or end up in some obscure semi-pro league, hardly suprising growing up with your own national broadcaster constantly telling you only English football counts.
From what I know about Colin Healy he is bad news (not talking about his footballing abilities)
From what i hear, you shouldn't believe all that you hear !! :mad:Quote:

Well I know why he "left" Celtic (and I'm not a celtic fan i have no interest in them or their league)
