Only Ogbene, who is the oldest of them by a distance, hasn't played in the EPL. And others behind them who have also played Championship/EPL football Armstrong Odubeko Scully Okoflex Kayode We're in an extraordinarily strong position for young strikers at the moment. Okoflex is a winger for sure. It is weird that we never used prduce strikers and always had great full backs no matter what and it seems the next gen is backwards. We used be really strong in centre mid too in general. Now  very light. GIles,Brady retires, Keane steps in. Holland Kinsella Carsley etc. last 3 Fine midfielders and way above what we have now.  the first 3 world class. I don't think any of the 5 behind will develop into players for us btw but a good production line developing.. Probably hoping for Zefi as a winger/2nd striker and a few others under age to really excel over those

Jese I Don't get the uttter excitement of our forward options that some have here. Ferguson looks a special talent and one to be very excited about. Idah and Parrott I had big hopes for. It hasn't happened yet but there's still time. Cannon looks decent but don't think he will ever be world class or anything. Wasn't blown away by him when I was in Deepdale a few weeks ago. Think we have been so bad for so long now that any half decent player coming through is blown completely out of proportion

Apart from the 10 goals last year and the 4 important ones for Ireland. Eeijit.
