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?

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.
Was a decent player my childhood memory recollectsDimi 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

Anyone remember Ndumbu Nsungu? Also known as 'Dave'![]()

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.
