I think Mark Hudson was a decent loan signing circa 2004 before joining us on a permanent deal.

There's no sun, the shadow of the wizard.......

Kenny Brown - scored some vital goals especially Vs the clowns in the play offs

The significant factor may be whether Chelsea are bought by someone unwilling to pump the sort of cash RA did and run the club more sustainably. Or whether the club goes into administration.

A buyer may call in the best loans and sell the super high earners (though no idea who will buy Lukaku?) with the focus on league success.

An administrator may see better economy in also selling the bigger earners who won't renegotiate and selling loan players to host clubs who can afford them with a different focus on creditors and survival.

The difference is administrators have no cash to inject.

Good call, Super Kev!! Maybe that’s why he was so calm as he tucked away the penalty, he knew if he missed he could just bugger off

He was indeed, on loan from Arsenal.
After he finished his spell with us, Alan Ball signed him for Portsmouth for quite a sum of money, the exact figure escapes my memory after all these years.

Yep, what a player he was, old Leftfoot!

Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled.
