 The Northern Ireland keeper was outstanding tonight against Germany.

I don't know who he plays for but I would like to see him play for Fulham.

He just got released from Hamilton. No thanks.

Buying Northern Irish players based on their performances for the national team didn't work out too well last time...

I think Healy got a bum rap, he was bought to play alongside McBride but never got the chance. If we'd have kept Helguson (basically the same player) he would have worked well, but he couldn't play up top on his own
@MattRhys63 - be warned, there will be a lot of nonsense

Chris Baird? Not a bad buy was he?  And Steven Davis's career has gone pretty well since we got rid of him

Aaron Hughes anyone lol????

As for Healy and Davis. Davis a good player who was just used poorly and didn't settle in at Fulham, sometimes certain players aren't a good fit with certain clubs. Healy was never proven at premier league level and imo was never going to be good enough. It's one thing to be the record goal scorer for Northern Ireland but to transfer that into premier league football is a big ask, Lafferty isn't premier league quality and he was a big part of the current sides qualification.

Supporting Fulham isn't about winning, it's about belonging

I still wished we had kept Davis.

Such a tremendous midfielder and someone who would of thrived with Demps and Dembele let's put it that way.

Baird & Hughes were successes and Healy in the right setup was a natural finisher.

Problem was that Sanchez wasn't the best manager.

I'd love Lafferty to lead the line at Fulham though, his work-rate and big frame would be decent foil for McCormack

He did make some good saves but was also positionall;y poor on some occassions, he reminds me of Tony Warner. More so when after one good game people say he could be this or that.

Peronsally I do not think he looks that good, and thre are better options out there.

Chutney

He's a free agent and a good keeper, not a bad back up. Could be signed for basically nothing, why not?

i am not having a go at anyone or puttin ghim down, but has anyone seen him play for say a season or more? if based on the euros it is pretty dangerous to judge someone on a few games only.

I heard earlier that he's on his way to Rangers
