Ok so I like lists. For those that follow this stuff, I'd love to see a list of our top prospects. We all know that Barkley is #1. Who's #2? How does the rest of the top 5-10 list shake out?

1. Ross Barkley

Hibbert has to be #2

Kinda depends on what is considered a prospect, but my list (in no particular order) would have to include:

Guaye, Garbutt, Silva, Duffy, Baxter, Dier, Bidwell, Mustafi, Vellios, etc.

Basically most of our reserve team (and Mucha):

I hope Baxter atleast gets a chance with us. His Facebook's a riot.

Is Hope rated that highly?

Duffy, Baxter, Mustafi, Silva, Gueye and Garbutt stand out for me... We will have to wait a few years to see really i guess...

What about James Wallace? He's an England U-20.

atrottel · February 10, 2011

Wallace has had problems with injury. He's also only 9 months younger than Rodwell. Crowded place, our midfield, if you are trying to break through.

Hope is rumoured to be good, but as with all of the youngsters, who knows how he will develop physically and mentally and how lucky he will be with his development? Baxter has had the mantle of "great prospect" for at least five years and his contract runs out in six months (as far as I know). Hope will eventually have to fight his way through the young strikers/attacking midfielders and make his mark, like Rodwell and Coleman did and like Duffy, Mustafi, Wallace and Baxter (and any other young foreign imports) still have to do.

I think his injuries have set him back a fair bit. He looked good in the games i saw him, but apparently he was sent back from a loan because he was terrible.

Hope looked really good from what I've seen JD...

Wondering what it will take for Baxter to get a look again? The lad was VERY highly rated and seems to be scoring a lot for the ressies.

If our injury luck continues, he may well get a chance soon.
