Luke Garbutt

I remember Adam Johnson tore him a new one, sticks in my mind as he'll come up against better than him.

Don't think that he should play as a full back, he should play just in front of the left back, particularly in away games, to provide the defensive support to Martina (which Siggy is absolutely rubbish at, Bournemouth looked like they were going to score every time they got the ball on that side).

When we attack, sorry about that Sam, we would at least be able to knock in a first time or early ball into the box for our strikers to attack rather than dragging it back onto the right foot and passing square or backwards. Strikers work really hard to get a yard of space so that they can put the ball into the net. Lukaku would have score many more if we'd had a left footed attacking player (Brady or Townsend, both £12M).
 
Does anybody know what the rules are re squad numbers/registrations?. I know we have to name a new 25 man squad that contains 8 home grown players on 1st Feb. But during January, is it just a free for all?. We can't be tied to the squad named in Sept 1st as that means that any new players signed wouldn't be able to play until Feb 1st.

In which case I would give Garbutt a run out in a game or 2 just to see how he does. If nothing else, Martina has played 90 mins of every game since Baines got injured and needs a rest. Also I think the Robinson loan at Bolton has now expired so maybe he could be given a run out instead.
 

How he’s still here is beyond belief. I can only imagine no one is willing to match his wages. Wages he should never have been on. Clearly not good enough or he’d have been on the bench at the very least of late

Answered your own question there mate. £25k a week to play in u23s.

We panicked when his deal was due to run out and rather than let him go and sign a replacement we decided to be cheapskates and offer him a huge deal to stay rather than spend money on a replacement. Now we are stuck with a player who simply hasn’t developed. Something we should have known at the time

To be fair everyone wanted him to sign that new contract. Shame he hasn't kicked on.
