Moran also with the ROI, and O Mahony and Yalcouye called up by youth sides too - as detailed here. https://www.northstandchat.com/threads/june-international-break.413582/Several loanees called up for international duty - Barco for Argentina; Scherpen for Holland; James Beadle for the England U21s; Enciso for Paraguay; Evan for the ROI and Sima for Senegal.
#Free(transfer)BenWhite.Important to remember not all loans are indicative of the player's ultimate ability. History is full of players, especially young ones, who didn't look up to much on various loan spells and came back to make an impact. None of Harry Kane's various loan spells as a youngster suggested he'd go on to be a star for Spurs and England. Ayari didn't do much at Blackburn, for example, but has shown himself more than worthy of his place in the side at times the season just gone.
Conversely, Ben White was Beckenbauer, Maldini and Virgil Van Dijk all rolled into one at The Leeds United, but has sadly gone backwards since leaving the command of The Great Bielsa and had to scrape a living as a journeyman player with Brighton, Arsenal and England (briefly).
Like you I had hopes for Leonard at Albion - mind you I rated Moran well tooFollowers of our loanees' exploits will remember Marc Leonard having two superb seasons with Northampton - and then, in spite of several Championship teams being interested, he sadly signed for Birmingham - and has spent most of the 24-25 season warming the bench. Fortunately, it looks like he's on the move -

and being tipped for a Scotland call up (he'd probably have been there already had he signed for someone else) -

Eh? Sima started and played for just over an hour.Ferguson gets half an hour for the ROI against Senegal (1-1). Sima pulled about the same time as he came on.
Yes, Sima played about an hour, Evan came on for about half an hour. Ok, a few minutes insignificant overlap, just giving a general overview. Wasn't going for exact precision - didn't think it was essential.Eh? Sima started and played for just over an hour.
Oh, I see what you meant now (ie Sima was taken off around the same time Ferguson was brought on).Yes, Sima played about an hour, Evan came on for about half an hour. Ok, a few minutes insignificant overlap, just giving a general overview. Wasn't going for exact precision - didn't think it was essential.
Still don't!
