Who will be next?

Stones and Barkly are already regular starters.
Duffy? Garbutt? Lundstram?

I'm actually really excited about our next successful academy player, more than any transfer rumour.

Stones isn't from the academy mate

Yeah, but he is a kid. It's almost the same thing.

Conor Macaleney has as good a chance as any imo.

I have a feeling Duffy is gash, heard good things about Green and Ledson but thats a few years off yet.

How is George Green progressing? Think he's still only 18 but last I heard people were predicting great things.

Garbutt on the bench today.

Can see Long getting a go in preseason, heard someone say big dunc really rates him

Michael Branch. The next Michael Owen. You heard it here.

I have high hopes Luke Garbutt and Ty Browning will make it here. If Bobby really wants to make Bainesy a central midfielder, then our RB and LB are Coleman and Oviedo - Garbutt and Browning could hopefully be their backups, they both were really prised by Martinez, they will get a chance in the pre-season I believe. Duffy will be likely sold as he can't pass the ball really, we need centre halfs who are good on the ball.

Ryan Ledson is the next big thing, hopefully he will make his debut already in the next season. John Lundstram, I don't know. I thought he could make it, but he slowed his development quite a lot it seems, but I am still hopefull. Otherwise nobody is likely close to the first team squad, but I really hope I am wrong.

Ty browning, Garbutt & Lundstram.

Whatever happened to that conor grant kid, seemed bobby fancied him in preseason, and he doesnt seem to be playing for the reserves, hes disapeared

It could be any of them, it's all down to them. Bobby will give them a chance if they are willing to put the work in, just ask Stones and Barkley. Must be great to be a youth team player at goodison at the moment.

One thing is for certain though, whoever comes through must be comfortable with the ball at their feet. Which is why I don't think Duffy or Vellios will make it at us, as they play abit old school.

Duffy & Garbutt. I think in preseason Duffy will be challenging Alcaraz and Distin as the main back up to Stones and Jags. As others are saying as Baines becomes a central player Garbutt will be given chances in the cups and also as Oveido's backup. Who knows might see him against Man City.
