7. John Heitinga
Lynne Cameron/EMPICS SportThree words: Premier League football. Heitinga demanded first team football and at Fulham for the second half of the season, his wish was granted. Fulham are now in the Championship, a dramatic fall for a man who boasts a World Cup Final appearance, all be it one where he was sent off. Patience is a virtue and at Everton, with Distin ageing, Jagielka's injury problems and Alcaraz akin to a bomb scare, Heitinga could still have filled a position of need. Instead he can look forward to away games at Rotherham.
