Felt a comment was necessary on this game, the highlight of which was the outstanding performances of two former Cardiff City keepers. Tom Heaton was his usual, and some bloke Dimi something. Looks a promising lad, better than Marshall maybe?

Dimi Dropalotapopolus
Swansea's secret agent behind enemy lines.
Toss up between him and Bywater for City's worst ever keepers.
I was thinking at the weekend, have we ever had a successful player on loan? Look at Lukaku at West Brom last year and Everton this year, Barry at Everton, even Adebayor when first on loan at Spurs from Man City.
What do we get: -
Zaha (okay he might still come good but pretty poor so far)
Etuhu
That young winger from Fulham last season, one good appearance then crap and recalled
Eddie Johnson
Dimi
Bywater
J Lloyd Samuel
Drinkwater - no better than average and injury prone
Now thinking about it I suppose we can say Bellers was a good loan first time out and Barnett last season. Further back there was Koumas (first time again) and Gary O'Neil and the Japanese guy, name escapes me.
What other loanees have been pi$$ poor and who were good ones?

Was a decent player my childhood memory recollectsWasn't Warner that Jamaican FIFA official who trousered thousands in bribes - allegedly. 
Good call on Ramsey.
I still only think of the crap loans though.
Just thought of another one, Jay Emmanuel-Thomas.

Yes, Oli was okay but went missing occasionally when going got tough - strange for such a big guy.
Anyone remember Ndumbu Nsungu? Also known as 'Dave'
Aye - remember him well - but not too well.............
There was also the coroner - remember him?
What was the central defender we had for the last half dozen games last year - he was sh*t hot - thought Malky may have tried to get him on a permanent beginning of this season. Also liked Olifijana.
Anyone remember Godfrey Ingram - not a loanee I think we paid Vancouver Whitecaps a shedfull of money for him. He played 3 or 4 games and we sold him back to them.
Sayer77. I think Godfrey Ingram was a bit of an enigma, came over to us from Canada however i am almost sure he ended up back at Luton who originally got rid of him to Canada, can vaguely remember him scoring a pretty well taken goal for us, think it was a night match or in the depths of winter. What a spotter i am !!
Danny Drinkwater was useless for us. Here are two goals he scored this season, including one from last nights game against Reading.
