No Uniform Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Ross Barkley was obviously class. But we actually looked worse with him in the team. It was not setup at all for the way he played. Wickham was so good for us. I remember when we signed Allan Johnston and Lee Bradbury, along with Proudlock. They pretty much saved us from relegation that season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We signed Sasso permanently after the season on loan, then released him at the end of his one-year contract. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think a short term loan has ever had such an impact? 7 goals in 7 games wasn't it? I kept dreaming of a Kenwyne return up to the day Nixon was peddling it 3yrs ago.

Charlie Chuck Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Adam Bolder, if only for his two goals at the Lane, deserves a mention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No he wasn't technically .. but an absolute monster when we had the likes of Maddix and Westwood dicking about Also Turners stats; 8 wins, 3 draws in 11 games played for us. Absolutely unreal. Included one of the best away days i've been to, Leeds when we won 3-2. Brunt bagging from just past halfway line with Whelan and JJ both scoring screamers ... Barmy Army for 45mins in second half! scenes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glynnb Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Thought Michael Johnson's debut against Dull? was probably one of the best debuts I'd seen at Hillsborough. The fact that we picked up our first win of the season showed his impact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Kenwyne is the obvious one but Turner isn't far behind The way his career has gone downhill since we had him is amazing (or whatever the negative equivalent of amazing is!)....couldn't get a game at none league Tranmere last year and now at Southport (although that is a slight improvement on where he was before those !)

room0035 Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 At the time Ian Turner on loan from Everton played very well for us when we needed a good keeper but instead of signing him on a full transfer we allowed him to return to Everton and we never saw him again. We also should have tried to sign up Wickham was not getting any look in at Sunderland and was never going to do anything there, he came on loan to us and the face fitting he did really well then not too long after that he was getting time in the Sunderland first team then shortly later he was sold for £8m to Crystal Palace had we have signed him up for a few million we could have made a decent profit it we had sold him on. We have had a lot of good loan defensive players but we seem to struggle getting in good offensive players other that Jones and Wickham, Barkley was hardly here very long before Leeds nicked him.

Dutch McLovin Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Wickham Carson Jones In that order. However, I don't think Jones would have become the player he did if he'd have ended up coming to us. Would still take Wickham in a heartbeat now. Even tho we have far too many Strikers. Fessi behind Joao and Wickhim ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
