From what i can tell only Patino & Okonkwo have good seasons so far.
Tierneys season seems unlucky so far but I’m hopeful it could still change with Real Sociedad progressing in the CL, there should be playing time at some point. And at least he was on the bench on their last game.
Lokonga has a nightmare of a season, the players that are put infront of him are way below first League level and he doesn’t even make the bench. I think he needs to change to a league that leaves up more Space for the Midfielders. I neither see him at Arsenal nor at a different PL Club.
Tavares should pray for total chaos at Nottingham, Cooper seems to already have written him off. I really wanna see him play in the PL. He isn’t consistent but he is a playertype that has big moments.
What about Marquinhos? I don’t get why he doesn’t even make the bench for Nantes since 2 months. I rate him and hoped he would be a Saka-Backup in 1-3 years. He clearly has talent.
I appreciate your thought and insights.

Actually Tierney back on the bench already is really good to hear. He was starting regularly before he got injured and I’d expect him to start again soon once he regains full fitness. And the reports are that Sociedad are already considering making the move permanent, so I’d say it’s not been a bad loan at all injury aside.
