Luke Garbutt

[Pabbers]

Hope its a good move, rather than a money motivated move.

Be good to see what kind of player he develops in too.

I may be wrong, but its very risky for a young English player to reject a contract from a club size of us, and 'wait' for the summer!!

I like him, good player. Good luck to him, wether he stays or goes.

Why do people think it's in his best interests to sign a new deal with us? He's not going to get a game here is he, Baines will play no matter what. He needs regular games, he's nearly 22

The sad truth.

 

[MikeH72]

They have offered him a contract. Do you expect them to lock him up in a dark room ?

Playing him instead of a paraplegic Tony Hibbert would have been a start

 

[Eric Djemba-Djemba]

At least we have loyal players like Hibbert and Osman. In a bit Luke you judas.

 

[royalblue66]

Think there was talk of him going across the park,a while back.

 

[Ashtonian]

to be fair to Garbutt, he knows he isnt going to oust Baines any time soon.

To be fair to Everton for all the development of Garbutt, you don't plan on a full back as good as Baines to be at your club. ITs just a difficult situation for both parties, garbutt stays and doesnt play or he goes and we need him by the time baines declines.

Lose lose

Even when Baines declines, he'll still play every game. Case in point: Tim Howard

 

[Tramps_mate]

Maybe walk away is the wrong way of putting it mate. Just think it's a shame we couldn't keep hold of him. That's all.

Chill.

They mustn't rate him!!

 

[ijjysmith]

They mustn't rate him!!

Don't think that's it. Just couldn't guarantee him what he wants.

Anyway, we don't know either way I guess.

INABIT LUKE

Who is he joining??

 

[GrandOldTeam]

Has something happened to spark the flurry of replies here?

He's gone. He's been gone since the day we put Hibbert LB over him.

He wants first team football. At one stage this season, he was 4th choice LB. He's not getting in ahead of Baines or the beloved Oviedo so he's gone - I would be to if I was him.

 

[ijjysmith]

Who is he joining??

Tottenhamptonpool United City

 

[SpurtingLesbian]

Tottenhamptonpool United City

so nowhere where he'd be a first or even second choice (in some cases) starter then....

 

[davek]

He's a mercenary. We're losing him?

*shrugs*

Just get a few quid for him and put it into the boss CB transfer fund.
