Ok, so we all know we had Eric Dier and let him go etcBut who are the other players we had and let go only to rue it in years to come?Straight away Richard Dunne comes to mind, fella coulda been an Everton legend, that was a big mistake.Looking at the state of our defence right now, I am starting to think Shane Duffy also could prove to be a big mistake. Saw him for Ireland last night and he was a colossus.

Is he better than Williams yep is he better than jags yep is better at centre back than holgate yep.

Based on what? Marking the mighty Robson-Kanu out the game last night? Doing well in a backs to the wall display? Or a fairly non descript season so far at Brighton who haven't played many top teams yet?

Yeah, he's now playing in the Prem, for a promoted team, who will be flirting with the relegation places. As I say, he's at his level.

Jags has been finished for three seasons now, hasn't he? Keeps going though and hasn't let us down when he's played.

I know who I'd rather starting for us on Sunday. (It's not Ashley Williams though, that we can agree on).

As much as I liked jags he should be nowhere the first team,but he is because obviously we have no one better,I'm not talking about jags of 6/7years ago I'm talking about now and Duffy is better In my opinion,I'm not saying he is Maldini,I'm saying he would get in next to Keane.

My arl fella moved Dacourt when he went. He bought a house in Paris, had that much gear me arl man needed a wagon and trailer to move him, got his trailer towed away and nearly blown up by the French Army!

- Matteo Ferrari was quite decent but I think it was more the case that Moyes opted for Joleon Lescott instead.- Mustafi could have developed into a good player if he stayed with us, but I guess sometimes it is the case that a player needs to move on to another club before they really take off.- Arteta - still wondering what Bill's done with that money.- Eto'o - I think he could have played a key role but Martinez seemed fine to let him go not long after his "gift from the football gods" comment. I wonder what really went on there.

dunno if it counts because I cant remember the reasoning for him leaving. But we have been shit down the left ever since we let pienaar go to spurs. Been playing number 10s there since. He wasn't the same when he came back

Interestingly, Kendall does not mention Mick Lyons at all in his autobiography; Lyons came through during Kendall's playing days at Everton, became captain and also played for Kendall in his first season as manager; Kendall released him to Sheff Wed in 1982 as well as releasing him as coach in 1990 when Kendall returned as manager.

Deulofeu. Okay, he had his flaws but wouldn't he have provided something we don't have at the moment? I'd even try him up front. Most likely his confidence would have plummeted under Koeman and his potential to beat a man and get past defences would be useless. Or maybe not.

Didn't want to Google it but glad I did. Interesting career - up there with Barmby as only players to score for both teams in the derby etc - in dire straights these days though as he's still with the shite.

I think it's Beardsley and Johnson the only 2 who have scored for both teams in the Derby.
