my prediction is that these players will not make it at EFC or a top half prem club.

we have no golden generation until half the team are young, established, and successful

Lukaku, Barkley, McCarthy, delofeu, stones..

Nearly there. Just need to win something...

You have to hype up your youngsters, build them up, give them confidence. Proper order.

Nah you gotta beat them with a stick and tell them they're useless until they get better, of course. That will make them believe in themselves more.

Rip it up and start again....

Our so-called golden generation will be ruined by impatient, ignorant morons who think that it great players just spawn into brilliance at 20. The sort of booboys who's family haven't discovered fire yet.

Probably sell the EGG for the most expensive ever

Alright, Edwyn.

Seriously though the only way that these academy lads will make the step up is if they are truly in Martinez's considerations for first team action within the next couple of years. Otherwise they tend to move on - for there own sake, when opportunities are slim. So the real question should first be whether they will get a look in - which our current manager seems very good at accommodating for, generally.

I can imagine our defense being pretty home-grown in the next few years. Further forward - Barkley, obviously... perhaps McAleny will still be in the picture... would like Dowell to get a chance, but doesn't seem an area that Martinez will be able to afford much time to an 'unproven' prosepect (and perhaps advisedly so)... Henen ripping back fours a new 'un, nationwide.

Following Roberto's mention of Holgate becoming part of Everton's Golden Generation, I thought I'd ask who we all think about that, and who the EGG will eventually consist of?

Off the top of my head, I'm thinking of Stanek, Browning, Coleman, Stones, Holgate, Henen, McAleny, Ledston etc.

Hopefully Johnboy will see past Chelsea's billions and want to be part of it.

Thoughts?

Coleman? He's 27 in October lad.

Amen to those to 2 Eggs, Walsh is the one for me I'm most hopeful of.

Garbutt
McAleny
Pennington

It's not about over-hyping and thinking all of these will fulfil their potential, it's more that there's a huge amount of players with a lot of quality and it's really not unreasonable on the law of averages to think that at least the backbone of a top side could be made out of that over the next 5 - 10 years. Don't mean it's gonna happen but it's not unreasonable.

Golden Generation.

He really does outdo himself everytime he opens his stupid mouth.

the imbecile will still have barry in the team at 48, doesn't matter how much you invest in youth, until a manager has the balls to use it we won't benefit, took him an age to play stones last season, while those two club footed oafs were dicking around at center back
