Luke Garbutt

[riddick]

Garbut has never convinced me, but, Cuco has, Cuco has convinced me that even if Garbut is gash, at least he is a left back.

Martina has convinced me that if Garbutt cant replace him then he needs to just quit football.

 

[Marius57]

Don’t think he is the answer. But the fact he has a left foot is a bonus and puts him ahead of Martina in my book.

But neither him, Galloway or Martina should be anywhere near the squad. And settling for one of them, shows our lack of ambition imo.

 

[Abraders]

While I understand the shouts for a new left-back, I always then think we have Baines, Garbutt and Galloway.

I'd be happy if we signed a first-teamer LB on loan for six months, and then look again in the summer, while perhaps moving on one of Garbutt or Galloway. Baines gradually to be phased out next season.

One of? Get rid of all 3 of them. They're all terrible.

Early noise suggesting Luke is in today

 

[Furey1878]

Just put him in the squad

 

[Toffee in Jandals]

Just give the lad a crack. He might pull a Niasse and leave the manager / coaching staff with egg on their faces.

 

[HKContractDave]

Just got listed as number 36 on the First Team page apparently (Saw nothing last week). Back in the squad soon?

 

[granter79]

After watching the state of our left side again the weekend even garbutt should be given a run. Amount of times we had a break down the left and had to turn out and switch the play and allowed Brom to get back in their shape. At least he would give an overlap and make the pitch wider

 

[Furey1878]

Got over a week before the next game, reintroduce him to the squad now. Not the answer by any means but at least he is a left back who has had the odd good game for us and has good delivery.

He was training with the first team last week mate. Making Saturday even more baffling.

I think the telling thing will be if he trains with them again this week. There are rumours he was way out of his depth.

This sadly doesn't shock me.

I heard he's a nice enough lad but just isn't that good.

 

[neil999]

LG just aint up to it i'm afraid...

 

[onlyme]

I saw him play a pre season friendly at Skem Utd 2 years ago, sadly that was about his level. He never appeared to train on from a promising junior.

 

[Toffeelover]

Looks like never quite realised his potential, what he could have been capable of.
