Stephen Warnock and Patrick Van Aanholt.
Kasper Schmeichel and Jordan Henderson did okay after their loans to us too.
And this is what, 17 years ago?! I wonder why so few of our young players have prospered while being sent out on loan. People on here always say that our young prospects desperately need a loan, but it’s almost always a death knell for their CCFC careers.
Adversely though, the standard of U23 is appalling.
So, in order for our young players to succeed, they need to take that next step in their professional development to enhance their experience - and a loan really is more or less the only option to achieve that if they're not getting sufficient minutes in the first team.
I fully agree though that there's a massive misconception amongst the fanbase regarding a loan being the answer every time, as it more often that not doesn't bring automatic success - but I think that's normal and if anything just highlights the gulf between U23 football and the mens game.
That being said I still stick by the loan system, it's flawed but I do believe it offers young players the best chance of furthering their game. It's certainly a far better option than leaving them in the U23s playing against guys who either won't play higher than the NL or will drop out of the game altogether in a few years.
Yeah, I’m struggling to think of anyone either from us…Eccles is about the only one. While he hasn’t had the chance to ‘kick on’ (I hate that expression) I genuinely think he’s going to be great for us.Its really just a shop window for those not up to scratch. I can’t think of a player that has broken into the first team that’s been loaned out first. Maddison wasn’t, Bayliss wasn’t, McCallum wasn’t. Wilson was but only because it looked like he wasn’t up to scratch at first.

Wilson was as much to man him up a bit wasn't it? He had a decent pedigree through the youth system, and our regular loan route was let the players be kicked around a lot in non league and see if they sank or swam.Its really just a shop window for those not up to scratch.

The U/23s is the reserve team who play their games mid-week and I would think the whole of our first team squad have played in an U/23 team somewhere sometime, whilst making their way in the game. Don’t think it’s fair to say it is just a shop window for those not up to scratch it is part of the ladder.Its really just a shop window for those not up to scratch.

Yeah there's that as well, but I do think it entirely depends on who's in front of them in the first team and where we are in the pyramid.
All the players you mentioned broke through whilst we were in L1/L2 - it's fairly obvious that it's far easier as a young player to break through in such leagues compared to the Championship.
You're probably far better off looking at players pre 2012 to see if any academy graduates that broke through who benefitted from a prior loan spell. I think Ben Turner may have been one but I'm stretching my memory.
Most players don’t either way. How many loans have we had that have done nothing when going back to their parent club?

BillsonI think I am right we had four out on loan Bapaga, who is now back, Jack Burroughs, Danny Cashman and Declan Drysdale they have all huffed & puffed so let’s see if they have come through better for it.
Unlucky. And the way Scunthorpe have gone, he'd have had plenty of practice!Billson
Do you think he could be a squad option at either CAM or LWB?That’s probably what he’d say.
Howley has been a U23 regular this season, so next step could be a half decent NL team to at least get him playing men's football.It is harder than people think. Howley looks to be an obvious candidate for a loan but imo way too early don’t think he has played a full first team game yet and only just 18 that’s young to think an inexperienced kid can just waltz into another club with a squad full of seasoned pros. Needs a season at least playing U/23s get onto our subs bench more often & on merit then perhaps a loan out. That would be better than being on the bench elsewhere.
Liam Walsh! Released by Bristol City, loaned out by Swansea, can’t get in Hull’s squad now either…
He's got a 3 year contract with Swansea MarkReal head scratcher that one. Looked way above league one level with us. Time lost through injury probably didn't help. He's one I'd still take a chance on turning round if he was a free transfer and minimal wage. At this stage couldn't bring him in as a starter though. In all honesty probably needs to drop back to league one to build himself back up.
