I'd say none of them will ever amount to anything at Everton, in all honesty.

I'd like to be proved wrong, but I don't think I will be.

Someones gonna dredge up this post in 5 years when Lundstram is Everton captain, aren't they? :D

Sorry mate. I don't think anyone would use that word, and I honestly do appreciate that you rate our youth set up. You know more about it than me i'm sure, so if you say someone is good it does make me think they have something.

Don't like to give it the bigguns and pretend I know everything, but there's lots of indicators you can use; their youth upbringing at 16-17-18 years old, their physical stature, mental decision making, technical skills.

Duffy isn't comfortable with the ball, he's slow, immobile, but great height and a good header. He isn't composed enough.

Browning, I'm not sure why they like him so much to be brutally honest. Was an average rightback for the U18s, good athlete, poor technical skills for a fullback; crossing, dribbling etc. Was tormented by Raheem Sterling a couple of times. Again like Duffy, doesn't make the right decisions as often as he should. He's in the same year group as Stones/Barkley..... you can see the difference yourself.

Garbutt is an excellent attacking fullback, good technique, wonderful dead ball skills as he's shown for Cheltenham and Colchester(?) but he just isn't the greatest defender, switches off, poor marker.

Kennedy is a good dribbler, fairly quick and decent finisher, but his teamwork needs improving a lot, selfishness isn't so bad when you're Ronaldo, but when you don't have the skills like him, attempting to take on 4 men and doing a Jimmy McFadden just exposes you as a poor player.

Lundstram has a the passing and the vision, and the stamina and workrate to boot, but you could watch a game where you won't notice he's on the pitch if you believe what a lot of his loan club fans say.

Who would you say was most likely to make it if you had too...
 
Perhaps garbutt needs the step up to a higher level?

All excellent observations mate. The thing with Lundstram is I think he's got the lot but almost get the impression he thinks his time with Everton has passed, maybe because he sees his mate Ross coming through its almost made him not push on, a lack of belief in himself if you get what I mean. He's the one I've always thought would break through. I just don't see anything in Kennedy that has ever made me think he's going to make it with us. That's just my little opinions on them though
