Irish Premiership: ‘Business has been concluded’ – David Healy

Linfield manager says he is ‘pleased with the outcome’ after his side continued their unbeaten start to the season with a 3-0 victory over Glenavon.

Two goals from Joel Cooper and a close-range strike from Kirk Millar gave the away side a 3-0 lead at the break before a much quieter second half.

“I thought we had a 10-minute spell when we got the goals and then in the second half it was probably a game for the neutral.

“We ticked off what we wanted; we wanted a clean sheet in the second half.

“I think Glenavon probably were slightly better in the second half, they changed their shape a little bit, but I am pleased with the outcome.”

Linfield have strengthened their squad by adding Cammy Ballantyne, Charlie Chapman, Sam Roscoe and Scot Whiteside with Healy admitting that it was unlikely there would be more new arrivals to Windsor Park.

“The likelihood is no and that’s me being honest,” he conceded.

“I think the business that we have done has been concluded. The squad we have, there are one or two travelling with the squad tonight who hopefully shouldn’t be too far away.

“Squad-wise I feel as though we are ok. Supporters always want new signings, new players, different sorts of players and that’s fine, but I’m more than understanding that the likelihood is that business has been concluded.”
