Getting to a point where a section of the Albion museum could be dedicated to our memorable loan strikers. The ones who have not looked interested, utter dogshite, wastes of space.

Obika
Lita
Best
Vokes
Paynter
Wilson - Debatable
And now Akpom!

Have to agree with you. We certainly do pick 'em.

I didn't think Vokes was all that bad... :shrug:

...It was a while ago though

That loanee from Bournemouth; Murray, was a disaster until we signed him in January.

Obviously an exception but he had already been scoring goals for fun in this league.

May be a bit harsh but he didn't set the world on fire. Doing better now for Burnley though.

Unfair on Wilson in my opinion. He was a decent player, just a bit too lightweight and a sicknote.

Harsh on Wilson and Vokes - the rest fully deserved.

Between Best and Obika for worst.

Vokes was definitely ok, look what he's gone on to.

Best and Obika were the worst, the first through lack of effort and the second through lack of basic running and football skills. Sadly Akpom looks like a hybrid of the two.

We've had in recent memory Wood, Murray, Vokes, Bent, Wilson and Lingard.
Some of the other players have barely played or were only here for a few weeks.
Its of course funny to say its a long list of Obikas and Litas but then that only works if you conveniently miss off the equally long list of internationals, Champ top scorers, and (now) prem league regulars.
