Players who will have regretted NOT choosing Everton

[Dymak]

We weren’t even after many of the players that supposedly ‘turned us down’. Take Onuachu for example. He didn’t turn us down, we were never in for him.

 

[BainesontoastNEW]

Kyle naughton, was our first choice for a new rb, went to spurs and basically flopped....

60 grand, 60 grand Kyle Naughton. Nah, doesn't quite have the same ring to it does it? And to think what would have been with Seamus? He might have still signed but would he have broken into the XI?

Thierry Small turned down a pro contract with us to sign for Southampton. Several loans later he now plays for Charlton in league 1.

 

[f.t.r.s]

Read an interview with him recently saying he regretted not signing.
Also wtf did you say to put him off?

Haha I was only a kid, was out in town after the game iirc, spotted him, asked for his autograph and a photo, asked if he wanted to stay and he said for sure....then jumped into a black cab....Wonder if it was straight the airport

Case closed @maccavennie has already fessed up to basically drunkenly accosting him and trying to flog him GoT merch at a wedding do.

I can imagine the next day everyone was laughing at how pissed you must have been as his Valencia contract hit the press

£3m apparently.

"Quick recap on Small's career:

At age 16 he was playing for Everton in the FA Cup.

At age 17 (with the football press calling him the best left-sided U18 in the country) Everton turned down a £1.5m bid from Southampton. Saints ended up (via tribunal) paying £3m for him.

At age 18 Southampton turned down a £1m bid from Spurs for him.

At age 19 he found himself playing for a relegation-battling third division side.

It’s quite the career so far, so who can really predict what will happen next!"

Surprised it was that much tbh, suspect Carlo (iirc) putting him on for a 1st team appearance must have bumped that up, whether he was ready for it or not.

His uncle Bryan Small was similar as he burst on the scene at Villa but didn't train on so maybe its a family trait to flatter to deceive on the football pitch

Then rumours of closer to £4m

 

[Gallaeo]

Jack Rodwell's career looks like God's punishment for leaving Everton.

He seemed pretty content in the Sunderland documentary picking up prem wages in league 1 and not even playing.

What is he up to these days?!

Last seen in the Australian league iirc.
