 Only had one hasn’t he?

On 8 February 2013, Wickham joined Sheffield Wednesday on loan, initially on a one-month deal.[35] He made his debut on 9 February, in a 2–2 draw against Derby County.[36] He scored his first goal for the club on 9 March, in a 1–0 win away against Leicester City in what was the last game of his loan spell, firing a first time volley into the roof of the net.[37] On 14 March 2013 it was confirmed that Wickham would not be re-joining Sheffield Wednesday on loan.[38]

On 27 August 2013, Wickham inspired Sunderland to a late comeback against Milton Keynes Dons in the Football League Cup, scoring twice and assisting Jozy Altidore's goal as the Premier League side scored four times in the last 20 minutes to win 4–2.

On 1 November 2013, Wickham re-joined Sheffield Wednesday in another loan move until 1 January 2014.[39] Wickham scored on his return in the 5–2 win over Reading at Hillsborough on 2 November. Wickham again appeared on the score sheet scoring a brace of goals in the 2–1 win over Leicester City on 3 December. Four goals in four games in December 2013 earned Wickham a nomination for the December Championship Player of the Month award[40] but he ultimately lost out to Leicester City's Danny Drinkwater.[41] On 31 December 2013, his loan spell at Wednesday was extended by a further month,[42] although his parent club prevented him from representing the Owls in the FA Cup.[43] On 11 January 2014, he scored in Wednesday's 6–0 win over Yorkshire rivals Leeds United.[44] After the game, he described the win as a "fantastic team performance" while saying that he was "unhappy with my own personal performance."[45] He was recalled to his parent club on 27 January 2014.[46]

Unless they're looking to bring somebody else in, why would they let him go out on loan? He's been in their matchday squad for their last 8 games.

 

To see if he can regain his fitness and become a real asset? If not, ship him out and spend his wage elsewhere. 

I don’t know how long he’s been out or how long is left on his contract.

Don't see what benefit that would have for Palace.

 

In their match day squad this past month, worth a few quid if they were looking to sell, yet they'd let us have him on loan and pay his full salary for the pleasure...

We are giving them Rhodes in exchange lol

No looks like you are right two separate spells, must’ve blanked that first one from memory.

Could be a good signing. Can’t believe he’s 26, only really negative to him is fitness and injuries. Possibly one of the best players I’ve seen play for us on his day. 

Sad indictment of the last 25 years if he's one of the best you've seen.

 

Decent player.
