your favourite ever loan signing

Was only 3 when Muzzy was a loan player. Obviously I remember him whilst he was permanent and what a legend he is. But for me it's Yakubu, whilst Naughton worked harder. I was at Preston when The Yak he made his debut and scored. Just remember 2,500 Leicester fans going mad and belting out FEED THE YAK AND HE WILL SCORE. Then Iain Hume scored right at the end and we drew 1-1. Oh no, not right at the end. Andy King missed a 1 on 1 right at the end :mad:

Obviously Muzzy, but I'm gonna rule him out as he did later sign. Recently it has to be Naughton. Would love to see us bid for the lad should we manage to get up.

Some great ones mentioned , but I'd have to agree with those calling for Gerry Daly .

He was a class player

edit;

obviously Muzzy would take it, but i was judging solely players who were on loan only not ones that became permanent signings

Daly was the best. His influence far outweighs that of any other loan signing. Muzzy was good but other players signed had just as much influence. Without Daly we would not have got promotion that year. He simply was the difference and not signing him the next season was a massive error. Other players may have been better players or given greater service to the club but in terms of the impact one player has had on a season I don't think there is anyone better.

Kevin Campbell, absaloute quality, and when the Brighton away game was called off just as the coaches arrived( was meant to be his last game) he shuck all fans who traveled hand

This. I can remember him standing outside talking to the fans. Shaking his hand made the trip worthwhile. Top bloke.

Wasn't Roberto Mancini a loan signing from Lazio? Or was he on a free? I can't be arsed to check the Internet I'm currently using.

Mancini was a free he'd technically retired and had become a coach at Lazio.

I heard that he wanted to get into English football, and his then manager Sven, told him to go and play in England to get a feel or it.

Yeah he quit playing for Lazio, became Sven's number two and then came out of retirement to have a taste of English football before taking the managers post at Fiorentina, so he wasn't technically on Lazio's books as a player I believe.
