Also, Ashley Neal - great loan signing in the Archer era. Really gave us a barometer by which to judge how crap a player is.

:lolol:

Worst Albion player EVER. And I do mean EVER. And I don't expect any player in the future to EVER be as bad. I suspect my deceased one legged Grandfather would have been more effective.

Proof that nepotism was alive and well in football...

If you don't count people who signed for us, I'd plump for Keown, Dickov, Sidwell, Junior Lewis, who was bloody good in our Taylor promotion season, and McShane. Cotterill and Moulden are worth a mention too.

I saw Brian Dear score a cracking goal for us against, I think, Watford. I thought that we could prise him away from West Ham and have a good little player. Sadly, the "little" was way out - he was too fond of beer, burgers or biscuits (or all three) and resembling Warren Aspinall after an eating contest.

Of the current crop the list appeared to miss Ashley Barnes and Gary Dicker.

Don't think Zamora can be beaten as our best loan signing although in terms of loanees who never signed permanently (to date anyway) I suspect LuaLua may be up there

We paid a whopping big fee (£25,000 - which was a lot in those days) to buy Bertie Lutton. If only we'd had him on loan we could have sent him back..................................................

Apparantley Gus is after one of our former loan stars, Matt Richards in the January transfer window.

I hope that's a joke.. I thought Gus wants players who can pass/cross accurately more than 3 times out of 45 attempts?

( stat from Albion 0-1 Walsall [nine men] )

No no no and NO - Glen Thomas... anyone and i mean ANYONE who was at Brentford on THAT day will say the same... An incredible 10 minute self destruction and never again wore the stripes
