NurembergVillan Posted October 2, 2018 Moderator Share Posted October 2, 2018 With Moreira seemingly only 3rd choice goalkeeper, despite saving a penalty on his debut, it got me thinking about some of the downright woeful loan signings we've had over the years. This is the thread to reminisce, or perhaps just lament, those we've borrowed and been delighted to give back... Andre Moreira Gustavo Bartelt Jermaine Jenas Simon Dawkins Go, go, go!

KentVillan Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 To try and inject a little bit of positivity - Kyle Walker and James Milner were inspired loan signings. As for bad loan signings... quite a few to choose from. I'll stick with loan signings when we were in the Premier League. Think a certain amount of dross coming down on loan when you're in the Championship is normal. I don't like Phil Bardsley as a player or a human being. Carlton Cole scored 3 in 30 - great return for an England striker. I never understood the point of the Michael Bradley loan. And yeah, Jenas. The other weird one was Curtis Davies. He came across well as a person, and you couldn't fault his effort, but that loan signing was part of a long, expensive process of us paying big money for a 6/10 player. What did MON see that nobody else did? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
