Do we need a new LB?.

[Adam-GOTTV]

Still don't know why we sold Oviedo give honest. He liked Everton, was fairly decent, and was ok playing back up.

I liked him but not sure he's recovered from the leg break.

Never got given a chance to regain that form. People talk about Barkley or whoever getting hounded by fans but at least they've played. Oviedo was often judged badly simply for not being Leighton Baines. He'd come in, have a decent game, but if we lost he seemed to be scapegoated and was dropped next time Baines was half fit.

I got told today that garbutt is leaving to go abroad- seems strange to me?

I'd like us to get Ben Chilwell. Got a lot of 'Baines' about him.

Leicester selling Chilwell is about as likely as us selling Tom Davies.

I read somewhere that Koeman told him he is "not in his plans," but I can't find where I saw it.

 

[Brennan]

I remember when Garbutt was better than Baines.

Lol.

Everyone has their price.

You appear to be forgetting that we're Everton and we take what we want from the peasants.

Oh dear! Let's remember who we are and from where we have come and not turn into some new version of Chelski.



But l do realise what you said was meant in the manner of sarcasm...or at least l hope it was

We're going to playing a lot of games next season. Every one of the starting 11 is going to have to be rested occasionally. We have decent cover at every position but RB. Even journeyman cover is better than no cover at all. I sure don't want to see Barry back there again.

 

[tim cahill]

After our CF situation is sorted out it should be our priority.

 

[Paul E]

Maybe they believe Funes Mori is the cover? I would obviously disagree with that as he's pretty awful with the ball at his feet but Koeman has played him there on more than one occasion.

 

[Daveysgingerlovechild]

Definitely. If Baines picks up an injury cover is a minimum. Competition is good.

people were raving about Garbutt after watching with their own eyes ! seemed to have changed their mind after a manager at another club didnt rate him ! like a complete opposite to Niasse ! also Antonee Robinson if he can stay fit is a hell of a player and quick as lightning !

...Robinson goes under the radar a bit but I think you are right and perhaps the management team like him. He's had his share of injuries but he always impresses. The only doubt I have is that I've not seen him around the first team and as far as I can recall he never went on the mid-season break to Dubai.

Garbutt hits a fantastic dead ball and for that reason alone I thought he would be in demand but he has stagnated for the past couple of seasons.

 

[diggerdestroyer]

The golden rule in a top top football is no player should be comfortable that he has no competition for his place. Baines is on the way down and even though wouldnt be my primary concern in the team he would be a player that isnt anywhere near the player he used to be. So therefore ye we need a new left back that can challange fir that position not just cover. But rome wasnt built in a day so its better to bring in quality say maybe next summer. Baines is a blue and deserves total respect though.
