Clickbait nonsense. They've been great but nothing 'important' about their spells as we haven't achieved anything. And them 'raising their stock value' doesn't benefit us in any way. Could argue Hemming was more important since he wrecked our season before it started.

I’m sure it’s been said before but for me Kevin Campbell was the best player we’ve had on loan. He was ridiculously good for Division 4.

Not even bothering to watch it. Kevin Campbell and Edin Jakopovic both have better claims - and they may not be the best loans either.

Not saying he was the most important, but loved watching M’Poku playing for us, v Swansea in the cup being a memorable one.

Super Kevin Campbell 💪🏻
Wow what he did in his loan spell, and to think Frank Clark was sooooo close to signing him on a permanent after loan spell 🤔

Kevin Campbell for his part in the 89 promotion.

El Miz and Paul Smyth for their parts in the 2023 promotion.

Was Smyth a permanent? Although, tbf, Smythy seemed to think it was a loan……

They have certainly been very important and would love to keep both for next season . However I don't know if they have been our most important loanee's ever . Edit , Just to add Kelman and Currie have also been outstanding for us this season . In an ideal world I'd love us to keep both of them as well .

In all my years of supporting Orient I have never seen two loanee players loved more quickly than those two by the Orient crowd .

No posts for El Mizouni? I guess he felt like a 2 year permanent signing but we wouldn't be in League 1 without him bossing midfield in our title season.

Are you saying that any comment posted that you don’t see eye to eye about means it must have been made by a drunk?

I'm glad it wasn't just me who thought this, glad I posted it though just for confirmation.
Campbell still the standout.
