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. |  | | |  |

He'll be alright providing he keeps his feet off the upholstery! |
While he’s done well - let’s not be too dramatic…
He’s been good but we were on a great run before hand and personally I still I prefer partnership of Morrison and Salter Clarke if he’s ever fit again!
If he considers joining permanently and he continues to
Do well until end of season then perhaps I will change my mind. But for me he is decent but no where near a best loan player
Taarabt and Rutledge hold the answer to that question |  |

Probably not a memorable one for many...but in 2004 my lad was mascot at home to Notts Co, and what should have been a memorable day was going to $hit when the 'pies went 2-0 up. Our family will always be grateful for loanee Dominic Foley's cool finish, which topped off the comeback, a 3-2 win, and made a 9 year old very happy. |  |

Yes. Kyle Walker! WITH him QPR were the class of the division. When he was recalled we faded badly. |

Well hardly. We lost three times when he was here and lost another three the rest of the season. [Post edited 11 Apr 14:25]

Edwards has been good but not a patch on Walker, Taarabt and Routledge. They were different gravy. |  | | |

Andros Townsend was quality in the second half of our relegation season under Redknapp. |
Was just about to post the same. Good shout. | |

Just dropping in to say I enjoyed that reference.
My memory may be faulty but I think there are some dodgy shouts on here.
Paul Furlong is one of my all time favourite QPR players but he was an awful loan signing. Got injured a lot & wasn't in good form. He came good (extremely good) when we signed him permanently. Ditto for Helguson.
Can't believe Mikkel Beck's been mentioned, I thought he was shit when he was with us.
Dreadful haircut too, the Karl Ready curtains but somehow even worse!! |  | | |

Loved watching Taye Taiwo. Seemed a nutter - remember him rugby tackling a winger who'd got past him. All the money we blew then its odd we didn't go for him at 3.5m.
I can't see past Kyle Walker though. Probably the greatest player I've ever seen at QPR - certainly the most successful. Up and down the pitch in about 2 seconds flat it felt like. |  | | |

Walker looked exceptional with us, but from memory our results during the period he was with us that season were our worst of the season. Tried to find stats on this but they showed we lost more games with him than we did the whole season! So I discarded them as bollox | | | |

Some great responses to my question in the original post and I as I mentioned then I think myself that Kyle Walker was a different class and without doubt the highest quality player we’ve had on loan at Loftus Road. I can still vividly remember being in R Block and seeing him streaking past us on the overlap like the Roadrunner.
But I was thinking more in relation to the difference that the loan made to the fortunes of the club over the season than the actual quality of the player and that’s why I picked Ronnie. For example, I think we’d have very probably been promoted fifteen years ago even without Kyle Walker. But I’m less sure that we’d have survived in the Division this year without Ronnie Edwards.
And the reason I missed out Adel was because I was thinking of players who were on loan when they made the difference for us. In his miracle season of 2010-11, Taarabt was already our player. | | | |

Samba Diakite. Not sure we’d have stayed up if he hadn’t arrived on loan.
Completely agree on Edwards. He’s been a vital addition. His versatility to play centre mid against Leeds was very important to getting something from that game. | | | |

Eh? We only lost three when he was on loan here (Watford H, Leeds and Norwich A) remember we went nineteen unbeaten from the start of the season. We lost another three in the rest of the season after he left to go on loan at Villa. | |

Surely you'd want Priskin up front?
Extinguish those flaming torches, I'm only joking!  |  |

No excuse needed for posting this again. Danny Graham must have been thinking WTF?
