Sam Long, Ruffs and the artist formerly known as Luke Garbage getting all the plaudits, who'd a thunk it eh?
It's easy to say let's keep Garbutt after a good patch of form at the end of the season, but many are forgetting his wages. He's on 20k+ a week at Everton! Signing him again will make him one of our top earners and virtually our marquee signing. I'd rather spend our top dollar on more vital areas such as Nelsons replacement and a striker.
I think we could only tempt him here by making us one of our highest earners, which is why we should look elsewhere IMO. He's been half decent for the final quarter of the season, but was poor previous to that.We’re obviously not gonna sign him on anything near that, but he knows he needs to play football, if he wants it to be here he will have to accept an offer that reflects his position
Garbutt is a young man who has barely played. He has been earning around £1m a year on this contract, and a fair few bob before that. He does not need to chase the money, but does need to play and play regularly. He could see out his contract at Everton but end up with nothing at the end of it. Or he could potentially sign a 3 year deal with us that could keep him playing and (hopefully) bring him success.I think we could only tempt him here by making us one of our highest earners, which is why we should look elsewhere IMO.

"He doesn't need to chase the money". I wonder if you'd feel the same in his position? A footballers career is short, I'm sure he and the others would like to earn as much as they can whilst they're able to play. I can understand taking pay cuts in order to play and progress careers, which many do, but not quite to that extent. I'm not sure I would drop from £25k a week to possibly under £5k a week just to play, especially when I have a guaranteed year left!Garbutt is a young man who has barely played.

Garbutt has been much much better since moving forward as a winger. Superb left foot.Really?

Sound like you're related to him! All total pie in the sky guesswork. He's set to earn another £1m this year, I'm not sure anyone would turn that down in a heartbeat! He could play out on loan somewhere for 1 more year before signing a permanent contract with a paycut and then progressing his career.He's already earned a huge amount, and is set for life. He doesn't come across as being someone who just wants to sit out his contract. He had a tough first few months and was dropped. He could have sat back and still been paid, but instead he trained hard and fought for a place back, albeit further up the pitch. You could see from his goal against Charlton what it meant to him, and you would hope that he would rather have more of that than simply sitting at Everton counting his cash!
Of course it's guesswork. As is yours. We don't know, but his attitude during his time with us and the fact that we are actively pursuing a deal would indicate that something could happen.Sound like you're related to him!

Garbutt earning over £1m a year isn't guesswork, that's the wage he's on! And stating he'd think twice earning a quarter of the money isn't really guesswork either. You seem absolutely certain a deal is on the cards and he'd take the cut based on him training hard? I'm not sure I want our top earning player to be Luke Garbutt anyway, I would rather we were in for strikers and centre backs as our top earners. Maybe we can convince Everton a season long loan with us paying less?Of course it's guesswork. As is yours.

A heartening set of responses in general.
Bit concerned about number 17. I hope that our manager is soon made fully aware of who actually owns OUFC! Then we might be told as well.
Personally I hope it turns out to be Thohrir. Tiger seems to be the weakest of the crew.
We will pay League 1 wages.It's easy to say let's keep Garbutt after a good patch of form at the end of the season, but many are forgetting his wages. He's on 20k+ a week at Everton!
