In honour of Amad Diallo’s last-minute Manchester Derby winner, who is your favourite ever loanee?

Sunderland have had a load of cracking loanees over the years, to the point they permeate a lot of fans’ favourite ever player lists.

Besides Amad, we’ve had Yann M’Vila, Jonny Evans, Danny Rose (though he spoilt it a bit for himself joining the Mags), Fabio Borini, Shay Given, Danny Welbeck, John Mensah, Marcos Alonso, Djibril Cisse, Nedum Onuoha, Ki, Jack Clarke…

It’s a canny list. My personal favourite would have to be John Mensah, I was a bairn when he was here with aspirations of being a centre-back and he was absolutely class. Shame he had hamstrings made out of breadsticks or he genuinely would have been at Barca or somewhere like that.
