How many of Wolves’ loaned-out legion should have been kept at Molineux?

Wolves’ incoming signings have been the subject to much debate this season, but what of those to leave Molineux. With a number of big names out on loan, will manager Paul Lambert wish he had any of these six at his disposal?

Sylvian Ebanks-Landell

Though Wolves are not exactly haemorrhaging goals at the same rate they were under Walter Zenga, it’s clear that cutting out the defensive errors is a must next season. And that’s where Ebanks-Landell comes in.

The 24-year-old has shown Wolves exactly what they are missing with an excellent campaign at runaway League One leaders Sheffield United. His combative defensive approach and five goals are earning him cult hero status at Bramall Lane.

Signing a new deal at Wolves in January, expect Ebanks-Landell to form a crucial part of Lambert’s squad next season.

James Henry

Wolves are not exactly short of wingers. Therefore, when Paul Lambert announced his intention to trim down a bloated squad, Henry was one of the first casualties with his loan deal at League One challengers Bolton Wanderers extended until the end of the season.

However, the fact that the 27-year-old has come off the bench more often than he’s started at Bolton hardly bodes well for his prospects at Molineux.

Jed Wallace

Like Henry, Wallace was a victim of a lopsided squad. The former Portsmouth prodigy was never given much of a chance by previous manager Kenny Jackett or current incumbent Lambert, and he told London News Online recently that he didn’t expect to return to Molineux in the summer.

The 22-year-old’s tally of zero goals in seven games means he is yet to rediscover his shooting boots at Millwall.

Ola John

Did we mention Wolves possibly had a bit of an overload of Wingers? Former Benfica prodigy John followed up a disappointing spell at Reading with just 38 minutes of action for the Midlands club. At least that’s more than he’s managed on loan at Deportivo – with just two brief cameos to his name in La Liga. John faces an uncertain future.

Prince Oniangue

Many supporters felt Lambert acted harshly dispensing with Oniangue in January. The combative midfielder may not have set the world alight after arriving from Reims, but few believed he deserved to be carted back to Ligue 1 in January with Bastia.

And, typically, Oniangue has scored more goals already for the relegation threatened Corsicans than he did in half a season with Wolves. Averaging just shy of a goal every three games, the 28-year-old will be central to Bastia’s survival hopes. Hey, at least Wolves still have George Saville…

Joao Teixeira

The former Benfica winger may have struggled to make an impact at Wolves, but at least he made an appearance. Teixeira is already the forgotten man at Forest, yet to make his debut since joining on loan in January.
