Returning former players

[wingy]

Thought we signed Crainie for a fairly decent fee.

Can't remember who from though.

Don't recall him being here on loan.

Norwich or Leeds , for 500k?

He didn't count the first time, he was shite!

Vik on loan

Middlesbrough fans going to get serious PTSD if they tune into the opening day fixture and see Hamer and Vik on the pitch.

With the imminent return of Gus, we've had a few who have had more than one spell with us. How do you think this will go? Does it always go as expected?

A few examples that immediately spring to mind below. I'm sure there are loads more examples, so please add below.

Les Sealey - average until he left when he acted a twat and refused to play. Never wanted him near the place but his cameo few games back on loan were incredible performances.
Ben Turner - came on loan, a couple of really impressive performances but got injured and should have come off, played on, shame.
Gary McAllister - thought he was better the second time around
Gary McSheffrey - loved when we had him originally, should never have taken back he was dreadful 2nd time
Carl Baker - lightweight, technically good but wasn't fussed when he left. Can't really remember his second spell so can't have ben outstanding but just remember he came back
Michael Doyle - was never a fan originally, but second spell he was mature and a great leader on and off the pitch. One of my favs of the last decade that started the rise.
Richard Duffy (x4) - ok in all of them, never really set the world alight

Gustavo Hamer?

* not including loans or loan-backs that go into perms eg Rushworth, Maddison, Gyokeres, Sheaf etc

Baker came back and did not play a single minute if I recall correctly!

 

[SkyBlueGuy]

Gary Madine - both stints were loans though...

 

[LarryGrayson]

Gerry Daly had some time out on loan before returning. Given most of the squad sodded off when he came back, I guess he didn't get the memo when on loan!

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Think Hamer and Rushworth will prove to be excellent second time round
