Who was the last player we loaned out to a team and he came back a much much better player?

Weimann?

Cahill certainly improved whilst at Burnley.

Stoke bloke at work has heard that we're after Guidetti from Man City for about 9M and Danny stinking Rose on loan, with Hutton going to them.

Can't say I know anything about Guidetti??

Top scorer in Dutch league last season for Feynoord, quite a few from penalties though

At this rate we might as well have bought Feyenoord.

Hutton back to Spurs? I doubt that very much, fingers crossed though

with all due respect, your Stoke colleague is on the white stuff if he takes any stock in Spurs wanting Hutton back. Unless off course Hutton is going back to man the turnstiles on match day and not in a playing capacity.

[dave.woodhall]

'Them' meaning Stoke.

[Toronto Villa]

'Them' meaning Stoke.

yes, read it too fast. My mistake.

As you were.

ps. Stoke colleague will require said white stuff if Hutton joins "them"

Has to be Stephen Ireland!

very good and quite correct even if the reason we loaned wasn't so that he'd improve. Rather it was a message that he was no longer welcome!!

WBA have signed Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku on a season long loan deal

I think we have missed out there.  would’ve provided the grunt we do not have for a season without threatening Gabby/Bent too much.

[djbone]

Presumably Steve Clark drawing on his Chelsea background to move quickly on Lukaku, really good signing for Olbiyun.  Disappointing though, he would've been perfect for us, going to be a top class striker. 

Hope the Guidetti link is true, am definitely of the school of thought that we're too lightweight up top and need someone else in.

[cheltenhamlion]

I remain resolutely convinced a deal for a good striker is in the offing.

I think this that depends on how Lambert rates Delfouniso but I'm sure this is one area where he is looking.  Our striking options are a bit light for a 4-4-2 formation.

Warnock not in squad for tomorrow's game.Hope something is happening.
