Luke Garbutt

[Kiwi]

Good point, but Baines as been like that his whole Everton career. I just can't understand it when the likes of Baines & Garbutt stand off a player out wide? You have to get tight and either force the man to take you on and beat you or play a pass back, but don't give em the space to whip in a cross!

But we signed Baines at Garbutt's age and tbh I don't think I can remember Baines showing the same capabilities as what Garbutt is currently, especially going forward with his crossing and deliveries from set pieces?!

The lad is still very young and got a lot to learn but already looks to have the potential and talent to be a cracking FB and we need to get him signed up to a long term deal, get him fighting for his place with Baines and then in time, take his place, cos more so than Oviedo, Garbutt is Bainesy's successor at LB for me!

Oh deffo. Can see the talent there, but I'm just highlighting that perhaps he isn't the saviour of English football quite yet as he still has some very visible flaws to his game.

Me to, or in front of Oviedo, who ever is fit.

Imagine two left footed players getting up and down the pitch to terrorize the opposition, balance and supply to ROM.

I agree mate. Tbh, most modern defenders these days do have flaws, even the likes of Stones. But they'll learn and improve.

Deserves to be our number one left back at the moment.

Totally agree. The lad has done well and has a great left foot

 

[Tennessee Blue Mike]

Like his set pieces. We just don't have the talent to convert them. We have to keep this in mind this summer when picking up a game changer.

 

[Dithering Dougie]

Can't believe Martinez just brought Baines straight back in like that after Garbutts taking world class corners and the like..

Might be an idea to play him LM against Kiev, him and baines could double up on there number 10 then, he'll be the danger man

Good shout mate.

Big decision on who to play against Kiev. I would go for the experience of Baines however I would play Garbutt against QPR. Either way Garbutt would be unlucky not to start one.

However ffs Luke sign the contract. Do it now so when Oviedo comes back that's not an issue.

 

[sageyefc]

Will sign a new contract within the next 5 weeks

Thanks for clarifying things.

Still no news with his contract and into the last 3 months. Its looking increasingly likely that he's off. Wonder what sort of tribunal fee we will recieve?
