In terms of the quality of the player involved then you would have to say that Kyle Walker was a different class fifteen years ago.
But if you judge it on the contribution the player has made I think you’d be pushed to beat Ronnie. He’s always given 100%, been very solid in all of the three positions he’s played in and has been a very important factor in ( hopefully) taking us to safety this season. |  | | |  |

Walker or Taarabt.
Can't think of any others, maybe Kennedy? |  |

Would add to those two Brian - Nakhi Wells and Wayne Routledge for me.. |  |

Neil Ruddock did us an amazing job when we were properly in the sht 1998.
Mark Kennedy was superb, ridiculous after some of the tat Wright did spend money on that he turned the cash tap off for that one.
Kyle Walker was absolutely out of this world. |  | | |

Totally agree absolute class act.
Remember watching his debut at Leicester in the cup and thinking he was dreadful and soft as shit and we have taken on a dud.
Show's what I know.......... | | | |

Refreshing to have a loanee that's bought in despite the obvious difference in quality around him. Wonder how much of that comes from Marti and Steve Cook?
Mark Kennedy was decent. Tarrabt of course and Stephen Kelly. Kyle Walker was probably the one player that I thought could go right to the very top. His pace and power was frightening. |  | | |

Helguson was on loan prior to his permanent. |  | | |

If we think about a) how long ago and b) how many there have been in the intervening period the Kennedy and Walker ones really do stand out.
Hayden last season was key to our turnaround | |

I fell in love with Lee Cook from the first time he ever touched the ball on loan from Watford. He was sensational. |  | | |

had loads of good loans, adel, bekk? or beck from derby, walker, routledge, townsend , but as long as the player gives his all in the hoops i am happy. | | | |

The Field/Austin/Johansen loans combined were pretty good.
But fully agree that Edwards has been superb. I can't see us keeping him, but really wish him well and will follow his career with interest. |  | | |

Shout out to Danny Cullip- actually he was a short term deal
Idiakez I liked at the time. Scored a big goal at Leicester the day of the Nygaard wonder strike. | | | |

I loved Idiakez. Wish he'd stayed fit/longer. | | | |

Some great shouts.
Kyle walker for me was out of this world and far far too good for the champs.
Loved Jerome Thomas when we were cobbled together after relegation in 2001. | | | |

Oh yeh he was unreal at the end of that first season, we'd drifted off into the bottom half but won five or six on the spin with him.
Then when we got him back for the following year we all went apesht and... he wasn't quite as good second time round.
Lee Camp worthy of a mention - twice! | | | |

Ooooh Jerome Thomas good shout.
I remember walking in late at Cheltenham just in time to see him smack one in top bins. [Post edited 10 Apr 14:15]

When I watch him I always wonder what Southampton was thinking.
I mean I have seen a lot of Southampton PL matches and Edwards should in the starting 11 for them, not on loan to us | | | |

Takes me back to Glenn Roeder when he glides out of defence with the ball. Absolute class. | | | |

Other than those already mentioned, I thought Ben Watson's brief loan period with us improved the midfield significantly. His arrival coincided with Jim Magilton's 'purple patch' as a manager in the early part of the 09/10 season. |  | | |

Nailed on he'll be a mainstay of their promotion back to the Prem next season. | |

I always remember the handful of games Mark Kennedy played for us and I’ve never seen a player such a cut above anything else in the pitch since. |  | | |

Good thread. Agree that Ronnie has been immense on pretty much every level. A couple from further back that warrant a mention in my view:
Matt Jackson, full back on loan from Everton some time in the 90's. My somewhat unreliable memory tells me he was decent for us.
Paul Walsh was one I would have loved to have seen play a bit more or us, but he only made a handful of appearances on loan from Spurs as I recall.
Loic Remy anyone? If only for that goal against Wigan |  |

Andros Townsend was quality in the second half of our relegation season under Redknapp. |  |
