    I always blamed Bruce for that, instead of letting the recovery take it's due course he kept calling him up for training matches, causing him to breakdown again. It took him two years after being released by us for him to fully recover, and as you say, what he's done since had been remarkable. Just such a shame he wasn't better looked after when he was here.

    A loan signing I was excited about was Januzaj, still only 21/22 with a point to prove, could have made an impact like amad did in the future.
    Quite forgettable performances with a lack of effort, may as well not come here!

    That could be leveled at a fair few of our loan signings.

    I don't have any stats,but I suspect it's the case for the majority of any club's loan deals.
