Following on from Conways successful spell on loan, who's the best player we've had on loan but never signed?

It can only be Sidwell or McShane surely.

Without a doubt Martin Keown ( who I believe we had the opportunity to sign) and Paul Dickov

Sidwell agree! Done all the ground work for Reading who then signed him for 75K!

Ingermasson was a pretty decent loanee however not the best.

Keown gets my vote too.

I believe that we wanted to sign him but Arsenal wouldn't play ball as they knew what a force he'd become.

I thought he was surplus to requirements at Arsenal at the time and they ended up selling him to Villa after we refused to pay the 100 k or whatever? They eventually saw the error of their ways and resigned him from Everton??

Martin Keown. Even as a lad I could tell he oozed class but we didn't have the £50-100k they wanted for him at the time.

Add it to the long list of mistakes made by the club owners I the late 80's, early 90's.

Peter Ward, does that get through on a technicality as in we did sign him before he returned on loan.

Wardy on loan from Forest although he'd lost a lot of his magic by then

I remember thinking Abdul Razak was the greatest player I'd ever seen. For that one game.
