Quoted from Maringer
Enhua scored a few goals for us. Unfortunately, as a centre-half, he wasn't particularly good at stopping them going in at the other end.

Agree 100% with that. Never understood people's fascination with him. Played like a headless chicken running about closing down which you just shouldn't be doing as a centre back. Would have done alright as a ball-winning central midfielder i think.

Similarly, Georges Santos was another that was treated as some sort of hero and got all the end of season awards. But i also thought he was quite a poor defender. Good at individual battles or one-on-ones with players but terrible positioning and awareness. I know he came to us as a midfielder and although he got sent off in one of his only games in midfield for us (pretty sure it was against Rotherham and we eventually went down to 9 men but held on to draw), i'd have preferred to see him there.

EDIT: I appreciate Santos was a short term contract, not a loan, but whenever someone mentions Enhua i always think of Santos and how they were both highly thought of by fans but imo were part of the reason we shipped so many goals.

David Nielsen is a great call and gets my vote. Class, class act.

For me the most impressive loan players have been Andy Todd and John Oster. Todd was immense, had a presence/aura about him and was a class above everyone on the pitch everytime he played for us.
Oster was also different class the last time he was here and at that time was too good for the Championship (although maybe not quite ready for the premiership). Was a joy to watch especially in the few games when Kabba was still here too and they were linking up.

The other one that springs to my mind straight away is David Nielsen. Created a buzz and excitement only bettered by Bonetti in the time i've been watching Town. Could have gone on to become a Town hero had he signed for us like he said he was going to.

Conlon. He was immense at the end of the 08/09 season. His debut for Town (3-0 against Gillingham?) was one of my favourite memories of the last few years.

Shame about the rest of his time here.

Another loanee played pretty well that day, Peter Sweeney. Shame he also did a bit of a Conlon.

The reality is, that as an individual, he is the complete opposite of a class act.
