Your Best 'Loan 11'

[Fretters]

Simple really, pick your best Burnley team made up of players who were just here on loan. So, the likes of Sam Vokes and Ben Mee wouldn't count as they went on to sign permanently.

Here's my stab at it. Had to go 4-1-3-2 because I couldn't think of another CM, so Johnson would be in the number 10 role.

GK: Andy Marriott
RB: Rhys Williams
CB: Taylor Harwood-Bellis
CB: Gary Cahill
LB: Ian Maatsen
RW: Nathan Dyer
DCM: Eric Djemba-Djemba
ACM: David Johnson
LW: Jacob Bruun Larsen
ST: Gerry Creaney

I'd have to have Tella in there I think

Got have Georges Kevin Nkoudou in there. World class that lad.

I've just googled Creaney. After retiring as a footballer, he qualified as an accountant and is married to a Scottish film director.

Stick David Reeves in up front.... Whatever happened to the money we raised for his transfer???

[claretonthecoast1882]

Nicky Walker by some distance in goal

[ElectroClaret]

Nicky Walker by some distance in goal

Yes.
He seemed to have the ability to hang in the air when he
came to take a cross, superb handling.
Good shot stopper too.

[Quicknick]

Nicky Walker by some distance in goal

Good but he was playing in the 4th Div.

[TheFamilyCat]

Kieron Trippier, anyone?

Ben Mee?

[Sleeping Cat]

David Nugent up top.

Shout out to Mike Pollitt also.

[Fretters]

Kieron Trippier, anyone?

Ben Mee?

I thought that would be too easy, so just asked for players who never signed permanently.

How would Tony Morley fit into that criteria. Started with us but came back on loan in 1988. Didnt sign permanently after that loan

[clarets1978]

Other loans to add that were decent for us
Junior Bent
Delroy Facey
Paul Shaw

[Quicknick]

Came on loan in 1989.
Edit: just checked. It was '88. Sorry.

[clarets1978]

Came on loan in 1989.

Was 1988 when he came on loan. In October, first game was a 2-0 win against Cambridge

[clarets1978]

Just seen your edit. I remember as a kid my dad telling me how great it was we had him on loan, remembering all the great stuff he'd done at Villa etc. Didnt really work out unfortunately

[ElectroClaret]

Never mind the money, what happened to the bucket?
A club artefact.

[Quicknick]

Was 1988 when he came on loan. In October, first game was a 2-0 win against Cambridge

I remember a particular piece of brilliance in the Cambridge match. He was standing in front of the Longside and received a pass, played the ball first time between two Cambridge players who collided with each other. The crowd loved it. Morley could be brilliant for one game and fairly anonymous for two or three. He became more consistent at Villa.

I'm not sure about Valois. Did you rate him? He wasn't on loan, anyway.

[Stonehouse]

David Reeves and Smith the striker who we eventually bought ,can’t think of his first name.

Malcolm Smith.

That one is easy - he didn't do well enough on loan to warrant a place.

[Bordeauxclaret]

I think there would be a lot more competition to get into the “Worst Loan 11’.

Neil Wood waves hand and says don't forget me

[steve1264b]

Malcolm Smith.

How to give your age away without telling me.

Lol

Was better on loan than when he signed!

[Burnleyareback2]

Can’t remember his first name, Johnson signed on loan from forest but I think his debut was the same game as Ian Wright.
My memory tells me Johnson was decent.

David Johnson made his debut two years later in a Sunday night TV game against Preston. He scored. Game was more famous for Bertie Bee and the streaker!

[claretburns]

Fernarndo Guerrero and Frederic Nimani as two of the worst?

[KlyBfc]

Walker

THB. Cahill.
Assignon. Maatsen
Djemba. Chalobah

Tella. Brun larsen
Cole. Nugent

[Pickles]

Already been mentioned but Nathan Dyer, David Johnson and Eric Djemba-Djemba were immense for us. All three felt too good to be playing for Burnley at that time.

[colne-claret]

I think there would be a lot more competition to get into the “Worst Loan 11’.

Michael Ricketts enters the room.

[Spike]

I thought this was a list of the best interest rates on ALK’s loans

[Quicknick]

How to give your age away without telling me.

Lol

Indeed he was, but in his defence, he was converted to a midfield player which is why his goals dried up after his initial loan spell as a striker. Good player, though.

Lee Grant
Flanagan Cahill THB Maatsen
Djemba Chalobah Whittingham
Tella Johnson JBL

That’s it- David Johnson, thanks! But I’m sure we had another player make his debut that night, like Wright or Gazza- a big name that over shawdowed DJ’ debut

[gawthorpe_view]

We bought Winston White.

[KellyClaret]

Lee Grant

Surely Chalobah and Flanagan would be in contention for the 'Worst loan 11'

[ClaretTony]

That’s it- David Johnson, thanks! But I’m sure we had another player make his debut that night, like Wright or Gazza- a big name that over shawdowed DJ’ debut

Gascoigne was introduced to the crowd that night when Johnson made his debut

[ClaretTony]

On the criteria for selection. Can we include Jack Cork. I know we signed him permanently but it was six years after he’d been with us on loan.

[clarets1978]

We bought Winston White.

I would have thought the income generated from the Wembley trip would have been more a contributing factor to that. Reeves last game was march 88, we didnt sign Winnie until october 88. I dont know that but thats just a gut feeling

edit. and in between we brought in players like Brendan O'Connell, Paul Atkinson & Gary Rowell.. and probably more that Im not remembering

Saw him play a fair bit at Villa. He was far more consistent and won the league and EC there.

He was immense for Villa. A very good player.

I think it’s time the club did the right thing, and refunded the ‘golden gate’ fans.

I want my £1.50 back!

[Claretkid78]

Nathan Peel anyone??
