Very sad if we lose Luke Garbutt to Swansea.Just goes to show that Martinez hasn't got a clue. The best crosser of a ball that we've had for years.Nevermind Baines.He was lost last year w/o Piennar in my opinion.He struggled to take corners.Everytime Garbutt made an appearance he put numerous crosses into the box, which is what you want!!

His man management, is almost as good as his tactical insight, Martinez has our best players queing to leave, and seems intent on bringing in crap like Cleverley, evens ect

Baines had the 4th best assists in the EPL last year. Hardly lost!Garbutt has played 10 games and got 1 assist against Young Boys.
He's got potential but he isn't this world class star people are making him out to be. To be honest defensively he looks poor and Galloway looks to be a better proposition due to his versatility.
Finally, it's not Martinez, it's Garbutt himself that is causing him to leave. He wants to be playing every week and I get that and understand why he wants to go. Maybe he's looking at the squad and thinking he may end up being 4th in the pecking order next season with Bryan, Baines and Galloway taking his chance.

baines takes every free kick and corner. is anyone suprised he has a few assists?

To be fair to Baines he hasn't been taking every freekick, corner or penalty this season. Barkley, Mirallas and Lukaku have taken their fair share as well. Yet his assists haven't dropped.
Again though it does dispel this myth about Garbutt's contribution in the 10 game he's played as he did take most of these when he played.
