Lee Sawyer. I think.

 

[Firestorm]

I rated him at the time. But Trevor Roberts ( R.I.P ), Mervyn Cawston ( your probably to young to remember them?), and Paul ( Sammy) Sansome, IMO all edged him.

And John. Burridge...
Merv is my favourite

 

[amsemp]

I loved Hal Robson-Kanu when he was here.

Merv is my favourite

John only played 6 games .

 

[Firestorm]

The best Loan signings in my book (excluding the technicality of Freddy being on loan first as it was quicker..) in no particular order
Burridge, Hunter, Butters, Asombalonga , Federici

Statistically I think its Lee Chapman....

 

[OlvisIII]

So after reading this thread ... the conclusion is that like most clubs we have had some decent loan signings and some indifferent ones! Always a gamble but for every poor player a diamond is also found and will improve the team. In our position we have to go down this path and need to try and be optimistic.

Seen this guy play around 6-7 times for under 23's and is not a bad prospect, sets up more than he scores for sure, his quick, a little lightweight good in the air and has a great left foot, would be surprised if Powell starts him in games but will definitely make a impact from the bench:thumbsup:

Stan was originally a loan I think.

Dorian Dervite and Richard Jobson were outstanding loanees.

 

[Norwichshrimper]

So, apart from McQueen, Woodrow, Assombalonga, Dervitte. Sokolik and Egan, the rest were not very good.

I would add that in recent times, Daniels, Lund, Kiernan, Hendrie, Pigott and Cassidy were decent/effective loan signings at the time (regardless of where they are now). Cam Belford did a good job on loan too...(incidentally I think he's just joined Forest Green after being released by Stranraer).

Regarding the new chap, my concern is that he is about the same stage in his Spurs career as Coulthirst was. I hope he's significantly more effective

 

[Ricey]

Andy Woodman, by far my favourite loanee.

I would have Adrian Burrows and Dorian Dervite in there instead of Hunter and Federici

 

[overseas shrimper]

Surprised that Stephen Kelly hasn't been mentioned as one of the better loanees, also from Spurs (unless he has and I missed it). Or is my memory playing tricks on me?

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

A lot of the recent loan signings haven't had a chance. Brown loved getting them in but didn't have the balls to play them. My guess is Chris will give them a chance.

I'm no Brown fan but this is a nonsense argument.

 

[RHB]

I hope our expected new signing from Spurs is as good or better than McQueen, Woodrow, Assombalonga, Dervitte, Sokolik, Egan, Ben Reeves, Adam Federici, The Murphy brothers, John Burridge, Kiernan, Hendrie, Hal Robson-Kanu, Daniels, Lund, Kiernan, Hendrie, Pigott, Cassidy, Cam Belford, Andy Woodman, Stephen Kelly and not forgetting the viaducts obviously. Everyone happy now?

I think in those days there were different signing deadlines to be able to play, players often signed on loan late Friday only to Sign permanently on the Monday

As for Epic Loan signings - Steve Anthrobus signed on Loan for us on the Friday, recalled almost immediately and then Sold to Wimbledon the next day.
At least Chapman had the decency to stay for the weekend and actually play...

Did we have both Murphys ? I thought it was one and Loza

Unless you are including Brian Barry Murphy ?

 

[enfieldblue]

Adam Federici (spelt wrong ?) Best keeper ive ever seen in a southend shirt

Admit he was good, but for me has to be Andy Woodman, think on loan from Oxford. great keeper, you could even think about keeping clean sheets

Yep, pretty sure we just had Jacob. Happy to be corrected though.

Nearly made as many appearances as Tony Currie. :winking:
