I would imagine that the majority of guys loaned out rarely make much impression beyond that. Players you have real hopes for are not often loaned. You may point to some that have made an impact after a loan, but they would be in a minority. If Le Tallac was that great he would be playing in Liverpools first team right now and not turning out for some mediocre French outfit. Either that or we have misjudged this player completely.
Saw very little of him but did seem to have some real flash moments and i thought he might become a real prospect. I was rather disappointed to see him loaned out and i do he returns as a better player and makes a real impact
