During the summer when we had Healy on trial, I seem to remember a lot of people on here being very keen for him to sign. So keen to the point that when things were taking time, I may be wrong but I think everyone was expecting his signing to be announced on a certain day when it was announced 2 or 3 days later, the club were amateurish & all the rest of it. Now it's been announced that he's had his contract cancelled & people are jumping for joy. I have to say that he's hardly pulled up any trees in the time he's been here but I've never known a player cause so much joy by signing & then being shown the door within a matter of months. Is it me? (dunno)
It is clear Healy has ability. You don't get as far as he did in the game without it.</p> When we had him on trial in pre-season, we had a man desperate to earn a contract and, with it, a second chance.</p> What we were not to know is that he then intended to spend that contract avoiding further injury by shirking every challenge and hiding from the ball at every opportunity. Everyone knew that there was risk associated with signing him. However, everyone thought that risk was that, by playing to the best of his ability, his injury would recur and his career would be pretty much over. What people didn't see is the risk that once the pay came rolling in, he'd just start playing really, really badly.</p> IMHO - right risk, wrong outcome. So I was overjoyed to see him sign and now I'm overjoyed to see him leave.</p>
