Does anyone have an good knowledge on how our players are doing out on loan? For instance Ward, Ayala, Adeyemi and Vaughan? Can anyone see any of them having an impact at Norwich? I would love Ayala to show his potential, he looked decent last year before getting his inevitable injury of the season.
Ayala looked quality very cultured as a centre back, when he went out on loan I thought he would be work in progress but I'm not sure what Hughton thinks of him. At the time Ayala was playing well, a lot of fans seemed to jump on the Ryan Bennett bandwagon.
Rudd (Preston) - only made one start thus far in a 3-1 defeat. Praised Dave Watson. Too early to tell/ Butterfield (Palace) - extended loan but not too popular "He has been truly dreadful in all the games I've seen him play since his arrival. I would never usually jump on a player after just a couple of appearances but this guy is not Palace, he looks a typical loanee." Ward + Ayala (Florist) -Ward seem to be doing pretty well and established in the defence as first choice. Working hard. Ayala in and out of the team and injury prone. Martin (Derby) They seem to think he's better than Connor Sammon but not much. Adeyemi (Brentford)- is doing ok, played a few, got injured, sometimes on the bench. I think he would like to sign permenantly Vaughan (Hudders) - actually made lots of appearances and scored 8 goals. They think he's too good for them and has a teriffic attitude.
Rudd has made more appearances now; 6 I believe, and is doing really well apparently. He faces Adeyemi tomorrow at Griffin Park.
As I mentioned on another thread one of my best mates is a Brentford fan and he really likes Adeyemi. He seems to have grown over the season speaking to my friend from playing all over the place to being a first choice central midfielder and offering more balance to the team. He's been really impressed by him.
I have to say I would love Vaughan to be a success here, he is a different sort of striker, its just unfortunate about his injuries. Lambert obviously bought him for a reason last year, and he wasn't intended as back up and some people were touting hm as our best striker at first, so would be a real shame to lose him but I expect we will in the summer.
