Just wondered what your thoughts are on this question?
It may be an obvious one which equates to none, or some may see potential for one or more to be sticking around.
The only one player of this season’s loanees I would offer a deal to is Norwich’s Famewo. He can do better and be more consistent no doubt, but he is still young and I just have this inkling may turn into a very good player over the coming few years.
A pass for me on Lee, Leko (regrettably and more the system we are playing than him, as I really like the lad), Burstow, Castillo and John (latter two neither of which I have seen).
Our loanee strategy has clearly not worked out this season, so let’s hope for better next season…

I'd keep Famewo but none of the others.
But then I wonder if he could turn that around, and whether we'd get any better. We need to sign 3 or 4 CBs if Pearce and Inniss go and we're going to play 3 at the back, he's a left footer etc....
The others, nope.
He was scoring regularly at U18 and U23 level and got a few in the first team remember but injuries meant he was thrown in before he was really ready.
Don't think another season here would help us or him.
I would rather see encouragement for our younger players than the types of loan we have had for the past couple of seasons.
Hard to think about much that loan players have added recently rather than make up the numbers.
Then a few loans can be the cherry on the already baked cake.
Not good enough for the money them or their club would demand.
After two years with us though, I wouldnt be surprised if Akin wants to go on loan with a Championship club now - Or even attempt to force his way into the Norwich team, now they're back at that level.
At his best he can shine in this league and he is still young enough to develop consistency and improve his game.
None of the others.
Whatever loans we bring in this summer I hope will be of sufficient quality to improve the squad, not just make up the numbers
Then the real reason we signed him came up.......
