Everyone will have different views. It's an inexact science. I suppose I am always a bit more partial to players who have done well out on loan, whereas others (such as @Eggs ) makes a fair point that lads going out on loan are often because they are surplus to plans and therefore less likely to come back.
It is not easy to predict as the questions are qualitatively different in each category. The question around say Vlasic still being here is a fundamentally different one to say an Astley making the grade.
I think there's a fair number amongst us who want to see us embrace being a young squad, and almost adopt a Germanic approach. It's difficult though because Silva will understandably say when we were getting hammered at Millwall or Southampton or against Wolves there was very little sympathy from the fans then about the fact we were playing a young team. His primary responsibility is to put teams out that can win.
I think the above team is very much a best case scenario that they all keep developing toward the upper end of what is expected.

Id very much like to 'finally' see a top notch midfielder come through...whether we develop them from a young age or recruit from overseas.

Are we talking about the EPL 2 win here?
I guess the main excitement here is
1) How many players will make it to the first team
2) How many can we sell for good transfer fees.
I think it's definitely a success, and should be seen as a real indicator of our excellent academy. But the academy is only worth it if it makes us money, or, much better, we have players in the first team. What do you all think is success for an academy?
3 players in the first team? more?
These were appearances in the 16/17 title winning season, and Davies, Kenny, DCL, Colgate are not there yet, but I hope we have patience with them. There's a LOT of merit in having players come through together who understand each other, are on the same wavelength and want to win together

I will be very surprised if Virginia is the number two goalkeeper at Everton next season, nothing against the lad, he looks very good the times I’ve seen him, it’s just he is very young and inexperienced to be the back up ‘keeper in the premier league,but you never know.Portuguese newspaper O Jogo today features a story about Everton goalkeeper João Virgínia.
After winning the Premier League 2 for Arsenal last season, the player has now conquered his second title in a row for the Toffees last weekend.
It’s said that the last fixture, played against Brighton, had the eyes of Marco Silva and football director Marcel Brands, who were in the stands.
And O Jogo claims that Everton’s plans are to have Virgínia included in the first team squad next season, where he will have the place of second goalkeeper.
Regardless of where that information comes from, the newspaper also features a short interview with the player himself. The 19-year-old claims that both manager Marco Silva and goalkeeper Coach Hugo Oliveira have been watching him playing.
“Marco Silva has enjoyed my evolution and is always following me, just like Hugo Oliveira,” João Virgínia told O Jogo. “They both talk a lot to me and one of the main developments I had was in consistency. An example of this was, in eleven games, to have nine clean sheets.”
About his next goals, Virgínia says: “I now want to make my debut in the Premier League.”
Signed from Arsenal last summer, Virgínia has a contract with Everton running until 2021. And he doesn’t seem to lack ambition around succeeding for the Toffees.
If the goalkeeper is promoted as it’s claimed, then it will possibly mean the exit of 36 year old Maarten Stekelenburg, who has a further season on his contract after this one.
Every team needs a balance of ages
If you have 2 players in every age bracket from 19-32 that give you a squad of 28.
You don't want a squad of old players or a squad of kids.
You will win nothing with kids.
Maybe Steks will be released and another 30/32 yr old brought in as cover /competition for Pickford
