Jamie Ashdown benefitted immensely from a loan to Rushden and also Matthew Upson owes a lot to his loan at Reading.

And which one remained at the club that loaned them out?
My point exactly
Loan sends a "try before you buy" message to the player, thta they are not a valued member of the squad

Absolute rubbish, the last point. Loan is a chance for fringe players to get first team experience or to play some games. They may have had injuries or just be young players getting a chance somewhere.
Well Ashdown was wanted here but got a transfer to a Premiership club.
Upson was against some of the best defenders in the league, got a transfer to another Premiership club and ended up in the England squad.
I would say they were succesful oans.

Except for clubs in the Premiership aiming to give a player some vital experience and a test to see how good they could be.
In the current Arsenal side, you've Eboue plus a current crop (of which some may not make it at Arsenal) of Bentner, Larsson etc. In the current Villa side, you've got Cahill, Ridgwell, Agbonlahor, Samuel and Moore who have been out on loan. Newcastle have Milner - on loan from Leeds to Swindon while there, and then a season at Villa. Parker was out at Norwich for a few games while at Charlton, and fellow Newcastle midfielder O'Brien had a spell at Carlisle.
Defoe had a famous spell at Bournemouth, as a youngster, as did Rio Ferdinand.
For young players with talent, it is a good, no, very good way of seeing what level a player can perform at.
Just because some players don't break through isn't an indictment of the loan system, its probably because they weren't quite good enough.

Defoe ripped us apart when he played for Bournemouth against us at home.
We need Shane Long to remain here now.
