Manwell Pablo Posted 12 January 2007 Posted 12 January 2007 I think Lupoli went to Derby and the 3rd player was Muamba. You are right that maybe they were heard of but Im sure not held as high regard. If we stick to Arsenal for examples of loans out that could have come to us in recent times and you see that some have made it and some havent. The thing is we never seem to take the chance. (BTW some loans prove more than just that as players like Larsson is coming to the end of his contract at Arsenal and now looks set to sign for Birmingham on a Bosman and Lupoli is coming to the end of his deal but doesnt fancy Derby, but who does?? ) Lupoli - Derby Stokes - Falkirk Larrson, Muamba, Bendtner - Birmingham Alliadiare - Wolves and Celtic Justin Hoyte - Sunderland Mathew Connolly - Bournemouth Kerrea Gilbert - Cardiff City I cant think of anymore. Surely the clubs on the recieving end arent bigger than us?? (with exception to Celtic) Its not just about this season BTW! We never seem to get many loanees in!! Levein didn't like loaning players, and RK hasn't had enough cash thats why it may seem like that recently. But yes your right we don't historically loan alot of players, just the way it is.
davieG Posted 12 January 2007 Posted 12 January 2007 His kicking was crap GERRY DALY Instrumental in getting us promoted in the early 80s, if I remember correctly we had the option to buy him and didn't to our regret? Cambell was good but Daly's the best for me.
Head Honcho Posted 12 January 2007 Posted 12 January 2007 May not be entirely the clubs fault but he went from 'Hero to Zero' in his time here I think it all went downhill after Brighton away when he threw his shirt at the bench!
Ric Flair Posted 12 January 2007 Posted 12 January 2007 Colin Gordon had a very productive loan spell for us in the 1991/92 season. Think he scored about6 goals in 6 games for us?
Fox in a Box Posted 12 January 2007 Posted 12 January 2007 I've never seen an old boy loanee spread the ball like Roberto Mancini (the announcer pronounced ut 'Mantheeni'...why?). His passing was way ahead of our team.. Mancini = GOD
Geo V Posted 12 January 2007 Author Posted 12 January 2007 Muzzy was the best loanee we had ever, end of. FACT. Izzet was class no doubt but his best years happened after he signed for us (was it £700k from Chelsea Reserves!??). Good shout there though. It does prove the value of loan players as some could end up being permanent deals. The risk is taking a player from zero to hero (like Falkirk have just done with Stokes) and hiking his price up but you see players turn up to a club on loan they probably didnt want to join, have a look around, do well and then want to stay on permantely. Leicester is the hidden jewel and we must get them in on loan "as once you go Leicester there is nothing better" (PMSL apologies in advance for that one )
surrifox Posted 12 January 2007 Posted 12 January 2007 At the same time as Kevin Campbell we had a Surs player here- Moran?? He was good as well.
Geo V Posted 12 January 2007 Author Posted 12 January 2007 At the same time as Kevin Campbell we had a Surs player here- Moran?? He was good as well. Yeah Paul Moran. I mentioned that there partnership at the time was quality for the club. He didnt go on and reach the heights unfortunately.
lookwhaticando Posted 12 January 2007 Posted 12 January 2007 Muzzy Izzet and Marcus Bent were pretty decent. I'm with Ric on this. During my time anyway.
The Stig Posted 12 January 2007 Posted 12 January 2007 Other than muz, Bent was good, Smith was OK but didn't have the work rate, and Gary Teale has been brilliant this year, oh hang on thats on my Fifa 07 career
gloucesterfox Posted 12 January 2007 Posted 12 January 2007 A strange one was Alan Smith were he agreed to sign for Arsenal as long as they would agree to lend him back to us for the rest of the season to try and keep us up. There was never any lack of effort from him to keep us up.
renards Posted 12 January 2007 Posted 12 January 2007 Yeah Paul Moran. I mentioned that there partnership at the time was quality for the club. He didnt go on and reach the heights unfortunately. Bit of a 'Hughes'

renards Posted 12 January 2007 Posted 12 January 2007 Colin Gordon had a very productive loan spell for us in the 1991/92 season. Think he scored about6 goals in 6 games for us? I'm by no means a stato but, didn't Little sign him at the end of pre season from Brum Remember him saying he brought him in to shake the players up who thought the squad was sorted after the pre season prep Something daft like introducing him before the first game now an agent of repute!! (time to get the 'starting the wave book out the garage)

(time to get the 'starting the wave book out the garage) I think he got him towards the end of a season? I can't quite remember. But i'm sure it was only on loan for a short time? I was only about 10 at the time!
renards Posted 12 January 2007 Posted 12 January 2007 Laurie Cunningham not the best for us but a quality player, bizarre when we got him Man Utd Real Madrid West Brom (when good) Wimbledon II First black player to play in a COMPETITIVE England game Played 15 times for us without scoring Killed in a car crash in Madrid

DB11 Posted 12 January 2007 Posted 12 January 2007 *quite young* But the best I have witnessed has to have been Ryan Smith....
FrankieWorthoYaggedMyWife Posted 12 January 2007 Posted 12 January 2007 Laurie Cunningham Personal information Full name Laurence Paul Cunningham Date of birth 8 March 1956 Place of birth London, England Date of death 15 July 1989 Place of death Madrid, Spain Leyton Orient West Bromwich Albion Real Madrid Manchester United (loan) Sporting de Gijón Olympique Marseille Leicester City Rayo Vallecano Charleroi Wimbledon Rayo Vallecano
renards Posted 12 January 2007 Posted 12 January 2007 *quite young* But the best I have witnessed has to have been Ryan Smith.... You can't be much older than 10 if Ryan Smith is the best
surrifox Posted 12 January 2007 Posted 12 January 2007 mancini was a loan signing wasn't he- what was that all about?
Geo V Posted 12 January 2007 Author Posted 12 January 2007 mancini was a loan signing wasn't he- what was that all about? After seeing the style of football he adopted at Inter, I would have loved him to manage City and not play!
potter3 Posted 12 January 2007 Posted 12 January 2007 *quite young*But the best I have witnessed has to have been Ryan Smith.... If you've supported Leicester since 2002 surely you would agree that Marcus Bent was the best loanee since then, and definately better than Ryan Smith.
