Luke Garbutt

Really not understanding the Garbutt hate on twitter.

Christ, he’s an actual LB.

I can't either. I like the lad from Bristol City and he may well be significantly better, but I'm not sure he's done way more than Garbutt and certainly not at his level. When you consider his Europa league performances etc.

With Garbutt and to a degree Galloway the issue has been they have flatlined over a 2 year period. I suspect with Garbutt there is more going on behind the scenes. If we can't find a Left back I would happily give one or both of the above a run. Even if it was to find out if any could be a useful
backup come the summer.

Here is a massive chance. I suggest you do all you can to take it. Rare to get a chance like this.

I'd play him over Martina like but I can' accept how we're falling back on him. He went out on loan and didn't play because he's not good enough, we brought him back and he is nowhere near the first team because he's not good enough. Yet after all the money we spent we're falling back on him now.

I'd like to think that people aren't giving Garbutt any particular criticism because he hasn't done anything wrong. I think people are just exasperated about how we are now turning back to a player all of us know hasn't shown enough either for Everton or the teams he's been on loan at.

Lucky that he has been given a third chance.

The lad was obviously extremely talented, but I've heard that his head isn't in it.

Reportedly on 30k a week and his head isn’t in it
That’s 1.5 million pounds sterling every year.
Something wrong with the lad if that’s the case.
Work till you are 32 , retire and you or your kids never have to worry about money ever again.

...I reckon the pecking order is Baines, Martina, Garbutt.

I think Kenny will play there on Wednesday with Coleman back on the right.

..interesting. I’d be surprised if Coleman came back so soon, although he did bring Bolasie back quickly.

I think he is in the squad for Wednesday and played with the under 23s last week.

..he played 60mins with the U23s, would be asking a lot to chuck him back in with so little competitive football. Mind you, I think it was similar with Bolasie.

Bolasie got about 25 mins for U23's then started next PL game.

..yep, I thought that.

I think they were desparate to get Bolasie back in the hope he would provide us with some attacking threat as well as pace. It’ll be interesting when they push Coleman in.

Yeah....because money solves all mental or depression issues!!!

We had no useful wingers at the time. Kenny is steady enough, no reason to rush Coleman back IMO.

Then give the game up
I know money doesn’t cure all problems but it can’t hurt
