He’s like a magnet to the ball. He’s always there, throwing himself in front of everything. Keeps things simple, reads the game well. Can’t remember the last time I felt like this about a loan player. Sign him up.

Yeah, the club in itself seemed to want to find a solution and were supportive of him.
The fans were not.
We don’t really have many successful loan signings recently, do we?
Sahin? Anelka? Kabak? Moses? Top CF, Caulker?
How many loanees have we turned into proper signings?
I fucking love Big Bad Ron, regardless.
Probably Mascherano being the stand out, although it was a more “complicated” deal for well known reasons, so not a classic loan. I guess we knew from the start that we would like the deal to be permanent. Being a club in the upper group of football’s food chain, loans in are not usual. But I certainly remember times when we were shit in 2010’s when I wanted us to try the loan market more than we did. Saw it as an opportunity to convince some players to join us if they get a taste of the place (and what we could be), if all parties are happy.

Any particular potential loans come to mind from the 2010’s?
Who was the guy we got on loan for LB during the 13/14 season ?
Aly cissokho ?

Would have loved the Anelka and Sahib deals to have worked out.
Was remarkable that Liverpool even mounted a very strong campaign in 2013/14 even with having 2 loan players in victor Moses and aly cissokho. A right back with glen johnson , simon mignolet in goal , agger who was very injury prone
Although, as the league campaign grew into a title challenge, Brendan settled on a core group of 13-14 players, and neither Moses or Cissokho were part of it.

Kabak has to be considered successful. We got top 4 which was a surprise at the time.

and he had a great song 
He played fewer than 10 games and ultimately saw the manager prefer two lads who will never make it back to the prem level

This is very true, but you have to admit, the song was great.

Frimpong has a song???
Had one of the best attacks in Europe.
& the league at the top was pretty rancid at the time too so it wasn’t too difficult to outscore teams.
I remember us fielding a 3-4-1-2 with Moses as the #10 behind Sturridge and Suarez away at Sunderland (think it was the first time that season that them two started together). Random ideas with random players that you’ll never see again. Mad team, mad season.

I’m pretty sure he got injured, which was entirely in keeping for the season.
