Best Loan signings the Albion have ever made?

[Stinky Pete]

Ashley Neal :whistle

 

[Betfair Bozo]

Gotsmanov was our player but on a non contract type deal I think. He was pure class.

Otherwise, Paul Dickov played as if his life depended on it.

McShane did a great job for us I thought. Therry Racon and Ian Westlake in more recent times as well.

You make it sound like McShane was a different generation

Scott Flinders did pretty well for us when Michel was injured. I actually thought Henderson was a fairly good keeper when he was on loan, then once he signed for us, he, er, wasn't. Ben Roberts was superb, both on loan and once signed.

Others: Sidwell (probably best apart from Zamora)
Martin Keown (back in 1980s)
Mark Yeates (wish we'd signed him)
Sergei Gotsmanov (don't think we ever signed him permanently)
Dean Bowditch (till he got injured - scored a class winner at Bradford) He never had a good game for us though!
Awful:

Lawrence Davies
Sam Williams (didn't look like he could be bothered at all)
Zesh Rehman was good at first. Think we signed him again and he didn't look half the player

McShane. End of.

Remember the 79th.

Gotsmanov, Dickov, Ade Akinbiye, Cullip.

Gotsmanov-was he a loan signing or a free agent? anyway-I agree-he was brilliant. i think we got another eastern european after that stefan someone

LuaLua, don't care how good he is. FLAIR.

Stefan Iovan.

Ivar Ingimarsson.

 

[Codner's Crackpipe]

From my era it's probably Garry Nelson or Michael Small

Barry Butlin
Brian Dear

now that brings back memories
Brian Dear was a real favourite - fat tub of lard but more skill than the rest of the team put together at the time
