There's gonna be a great opportunity for people like Luca Williams-Barnett, Tynan Thompson, Mikey Moore and Lankshear to make an impression in pre-season. hopefully we keep Lankshear around but I think the rest will be loaned out

Interesting times. These kids have a short period to impress RDZ and get a seat on that plane to Oz for the tour.

Realistically, we have visibility to young guys like Souza, Moore, Vuskovic, Devine, Donley, Yang, Phillips, Olusesi, Abbott, Hall, Dorrington, Takai, Ajayi, LWB, Thomson, Hardy. Scarlett, Lanks. All these guys have either been around the first team, been on loan etc and been discussed.

Who can gatecrash the party is anyone's guess.

I wonder how RDZ is getting on with Andy Scoulding. He seems to be the guy that has a fair amount of power with regards to whether these kids can make the step up.
 
I don't think we will ever be a club where youth players get a chance, there are many reasons for this and we are not alone.
Clubs and fans want instant results and are prepared to buy overseas players and persevere with them acclimatising to PL rather than using youth players.
Youth set up is all wrong, playing against your peers doesn't offer most the experience they need to play in PL the gap is massive.
There should be a limit to number of overseas players many teams have over 16 in their squads.
Loan system is a lottery, players go to clubs where manager are reluctant to give them a chance as thier jobs are on the line.
