Coventry boss Chris Coleman may make a loan move for Sunderland striker David Healy.

Asked whether he would go back in for the Northern Ireland international, Coleman told the Coventry Telegraph: "Possibly, maybe. I had a conversation with Sunderland about David but I can't say we were even near to doing a deal. We had a conversation about a possible loan but that's as far as it went.

"We obviously know all about the player but the one deal that suited us apparently didn't suit the player, so as far as I am concerned, unless it is resurrected, at the minute it is dead in the water.

"But knowing football, stranger things have happened."
