Brilliant young players - what does the future look like?

[APN_EFC]

One striking thing about our transfer policy, and the success of the academy is the number of seemingly great young players. We all know about the 5 lads who won the world cup, and Pickford & Holgate, as well as the track record of Barkley in the different age groups. How far do you think our young players will go? Do you think we can really see a front four of DCL, Lookman, Dowell and Davies at Everton and England level in the future, or is our youth policy more likely to be like a Chelsea style investment and resale strategy?
It's really exciting to look at our players across the top 3 tiers - Firsts, U23 and U20 and it is another great reason to be optimistic.

and then it's the Hope that kills us

I think they will go as far as man United. Maybe Chelsea.

Probably your best post in 7 yrs. It's definitely the only funny one anyway.
Glad I was here to see it mate. Never thought you'd manage it but today you were finally funny. X

We'll win the league this season and then the world cup with half of the England squad being from league champions Everton

Everyone's so serious and realistic. it's been over 24 hours since a new signing it's getting quiet so come on

Our newfound wealth came at the wrong time for our young lads. When we were skint they would have been thrown into the first team like Rodwell and Vaughn (before he got hurt) and Anichebe.

It sucks because we could have REALLY used them 5 years ago. Now, I think it's going to be tough for most of them to make it here (although I'm very confident many of them will have careers outside of Everton). They seem like a luxury now, not a necessity. Davies and Lookman will make it here though. JonJoe has the look of a lad who will stick, but he's playing the same position as Seamus, so not sure who has to go to make that work when he's fit.

Dowell is still the jewell in the crown.

No chance here though while Mr Perspiration is still in charge.

With transfer fees rising as we can see this window, we should be signing more England youth players onto our books like George Hirst and others...if just one make it through then its worth it.

Pickford, Keane, Holgate, Davies and Lookman I can currently see getting caps with us.

You are correct there MorgsGoat, two or three will make it, so there. !!!!!!
