Player Valuation: £70m
Over the years Everton have been hasty releasing players supposedly not good enough and gone elsewhere to become a decent player. Which one would you have loved to have kept?
 


Everybody is going to say Callum MacManaman.. that's a good shout, but my pick would probably be Hope Akpan. He plays for Reading now and showed promise at times. Still only 21 as well.
 
He did indeed. He got 5 caps under 3 different managers, Ramsey, Mercer and Revie. He played in Alf Ramsey's last game away to Portugal
I loved Dodson mate,one of the classiest players we ever had and for me could have got in any Everton team,He never got an England cap did he?

7 games since January for a team that got relegated? Deffo.
 
I think he got one England cap whilst at Everton. Dave Thomas also won more caps fro England whilst at QPR even though he his best playing days were with Everton;l
Fair enough mate my memory isnt what it was.I imagine he would have still been at Burnley when he got the Ramsey caps.

I just remember watching him play in Reading's 2-2 draw against Chelsea a couple months ago and I came away impressed. It was the game in which Adam Le Fondre scored two goal late to snatch a point for Reading. Akpan came on as a sub and assisted both Le Fondre's goals. Still only 21 and could turn out to be a decent player.
