Underwhelming loans out 12:58 - Sep 27 with 2429 views | GaryBannister86 | Got me thinking, can anyone remember when we loaned a player out, they had an underwhelming spell, but eventually turned out to be good player for us? I can't think of one off hand, but there must be surely. We all know about the success of Eze, Dieng, Chair, Les, but has anyone ever gone out on loan, ripped up zero trees, returned and done well? I am sure there must be some. Similarly, I can only really think of Jack Clarke as being a loanee to us who didn't do much but then went on to be a success? | | | | |

Some trophies in there at Celtic, still playing at Bristol Rovers I think. Wouldn’t say Ben Sahar ripped up trees anywhere but also got some big clubs on his CV and plenty of caps. Tom Heaton got England caps in that weird spell you were never more than ten yards from an England player. Just the one game for us but from memory he had quite a good game at Chelsea. | | | |

Bizarre signing that but it was a strange time. Like throwing a chihuahua into a gorilla pen. Glorious at Villa Park. | | | |

Weird as it seems, Hogan is 3 years younger than Cristiano Ronaldo. Feels like that was decades ago. | | | |
