He is like a less potty mouthed @Allezfan

Its a she.

Wow.

 

[tiny_jacky]

It's April already.... time for a new contract?

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

I don't think he'll sign

He wants first team football and I can't see him getting that here

Baines is still first choice for the forseeable, unless Martinez actually does try him as a CM

 

[LinekersLegs]

Wonder if City are looking at him as a backup to Clichy, apparently Kolarov wants to go back to Italy and they need more English/young players in their squad.

Could be thinking if he impresses for under 21s in the euros it could get him a move somewere.

Definitely. Like Rom did with WC

Garbutt's dilemma is that there's no club with greater status than Everton who'd pick him up and play him as a starter. The lad is still potential. That's all. He's a good athlete but his defensive work needs an awful lot of coaching.

He's had nearly as many appearances as Oviedo this season...more involved toward the end of it than Oviedo, so he cant be that frustrated or view himself as third choice. He's at a very good club and if he had any sense he'd get a contract signed asap. If he leaves I'd shrug my shoulders. It's his loss not ours. We're sorted in that position if need be.

 

[ijjysmith]

Has he even been offered a new deal?

5 weeks

Apparently yes so at least we'll get some compensation if he goes but it will be set by a tribunal.

It'd be pretty bad if we lost him for nothing. He's young and english. He only needs to have 4 or 5 good games to be worth £20m.

...a tribunal will have to determine what we get for a player with PL and EL experience. Everton paid Leeds over a million - the result of another tribunal 6 years ago. Compo should be set at at least £4M given how much Everton have brought him on.

It works both ways.
