Garbutt has been a very big talent throughout youth football. Naturally doesn't mean he'll make the step up but he's been doing very well in the past two seasons on loan.
Its far too early to write him off same as its too early to say he will make it.
Well the fact he has first team football is a plus.
The way some think on here you'll never bring young players through.
Barkley they want to play too early. Others they don't want to play at all.
This is about saving money; it becomes a transfer budget multiplier. Not having to spend cash unnecessarily.
Because we bring through our own.
They probably thought Baines was mega gash too at Garbutts age!
