Roberto Martinez has explained how Everton’s recruitment strategy and the make-up of the first-team playing squad is fuelling his belief that the future is bright at the football club.
The manager, speaking at the Club’s General Meeting on Monday evening, delivered a presentation emphasising the match-winning contributions from a number of players under the age of 23 so far this season.
Everton's current tally of 24 goals from open play this term betters any other Premier League club, with 14 of those having been scored by key performers Romelu Lukaku and Ross Barkley.
Another to excel this term is John Stones, who remained at Goodison Park in the summer when the Everton board were resolute that the defender was not for sale.
Martinez told the meeting: “There are two major pillars in our strategy and vision. One is making brave decisions to make sure young talent has a big role at the Club and the second one is having continuity to ensure we can work on a daily basis to build something special.
“Everybody can speak about young players, but the key is how important they are to the team.
“We have got players like Ross Barkley, Romelu Lukaku and John Stones who we knew would benefit from the challenging season we had last year and also the special time we had in Europe.
“Then we have got Brendan Galloway, who is an example of the elite group we have been investing a lot of time in over two years. And there is also Gerard Deulofeu, who we felt was coming home.”
Martinez was also eager to stress the importance of finding an age and experience balance within any successful team.
As well as investing in young talent, a number of established first-team stars have signed contract extensions with Everton over the past year, including Phil Jagielka, James McCarthy, Kevin Mirallas and Arouna Kone.
The manager added: “With young talent, you need to be careful to make sure you have the right balance so you get the direction you need on the pitch. That is why it was important to seal deals for senior players.
“If you look in the Premier League, the average age is 26.8 years. Our average is 26.3. We are the sixth youngest.
“You don’t want to be too far towards one extreme. You need know-how combined with youth and energy."

Love that Roger mentions Jordan Morris. I watch him live here at Stanford, and I've entertained fantasies of Everton signing him.
Really worth a listen this.
One of the things that most impressed me about Moyes was his skill in the transfer market, over multiple years he had an excellent record - extraordinarily so when compared to the money wasted by our lovable neighbors.
I thought we'd be lucky to get anywhere close to a manager with such skill but browsing the McGeady thread believe that Martinez himself has so far been very solid - McGeady and Alcaraz being his only two permanent transfers that most would label failures and those for a combined 1.5m in fees before wages so hardly a great hit given the cost of modern football. Suppose Eto'o might also be added but his issues were more of-field than on it and again he was a free transfer.
There are a couple of loans that didn't work out in Traore and Atsu but in general our loans have been far more successful than average with Lukaku/Barry/Deulofeu/Lennon all making such an impact that we did permanent deals for them.
Here is the breakdown using Toffeeweb data with my assessment of what the majority would think in terms of hit/miss or to be determined. Haven't included those players without a first team premier league start like Henen or Holgate although I personally think those type of signings have excellent risk/reward.
Arouna Kone Wigan Athletic £5m - eventual HIT
Antolin Alcaraz [Free Agent] No Fee - MISS
Joel Robles Atletico Madrid £4.5m - Mixed but probably a HIT especially compared to Jan Mucha who he replaced
Gerard Deulofeu Barcelona Loan HIT, permanent transfer £4.2m HIT
James McCarthy Wigan Athletic £13m HIT
Romelu Lukaku Chelsea Loan HIT, permanent transfer £25m HIT
Gareth Barry Manchester City Loan HIT, permanent transfer £1m HIT
Aiden McGeady Spartak Moscow £1.5m MISS
Mo Besic £4m HIT (or else @MoutsGoat will murder me)
Lacina Traore Monaco Loan MISS
Christian Atsu Chelsea Loan MISS
Samuel Eto'o [Free Agent] No Fee MISS
Bredan Galloway MK Dons ? HIT
Aaron Lennon Tottenham Hotspur Loan HIT, permanent transfer £4.5m tbd
Tom Cleverley [Free Agent] No Fee TBD but initial signs encouraging
Ramiro Funes Mori River Plate £9.5m TBD but initial signs encouraging
If I have my data correct that it only 15 first team players over 5 windows, pretty small amount compared to, for example, Liverpool with 7 transfers for over 75m this summer alone.
